Overall a very nice Trans Am. Body and frame very straight and very clean. I don't believe it's been wrecked and I've seen no rust. Weatherstripping is in very good condition, pliable, no leaks or wind noise, including the T-Tops. Paint is in good shape for its age, there is an area on the passenger fender top where the clear coat is missing, from sitting under a tree for a couple of years. Interior is in pretty good shape considering its age and neglect. Black leather, front seats have some tears that may be repairable, I haven't taken it somewhere to find out but it looks repairable to me, and the dash does have crackage. Rear seats, door panels and carpeting are good, the overhead is good and the covers are there for the T-Tops. All the features, with the exception of the cruise control, work just fine. Pop-up headlights, tail lights, running lights, reverse lights, dash lights and gauges, turn signals and hazards, factory stereo and steering wheel radio controls, power antenna, and the odometer and tripometer all in good working condition. All the glass is good, the power windows work but are slow, the power mirrors work and the A/C blows cold.

The engine is suspect and I guess I would consider the possibility of a rebuild if making an offer. That may be a little extreme because the engine idles well and runs out well, pulls strong and doesn't use any oil, however it has had a head gasket sealer through the radiator and a hot idle low oil pressure. The car needs a set of tires and the shocks feel like original equipment.

Rear end doesn't make any noises and has a fresh fluid change. Transmission shifts smoothly and has a new ACDelco clutch kit, flywheel, slave and master cylinder.

The car runs and drives and has a cold A/C. Leather wrapped steering wheel in great shape with some play at the center. The car has simply been neglected for awhile in all areas and I've been trying to bring it back a little at the time. I believe it to be a very good choice for someone, and they will get a very nice Trans Am for a really great price. The only reason it's for sale is because I'm looking for a 77-78

Any questions please ask and thanks for looking : )

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
