PHS Documented included to buyer showing rare WS7 option!

The Trans AM has a Clear “California Title” in my name and Registration is current! 

Has Original Blue and Yellow color License Plate!!  

There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas!  Car is Rust Free!!!

This is a nice and rare factory equipped “WS7” performance handling package.  Only a certain number of Trans Am were produced with this suspension which is the same as the WS6 suspension except it does not have the rear disc brake brakes and was factory built with rear drum brakes.  It does have the front disc brakes and performance like the WS6 suspension! 

I do have the PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) Documents listing this rare WS7 Performance Suspension and will be included to the buyer. 

The Trans Am has the original 403 CID Engine.  The  VIN Number stamped on the engine  matches the VIN number on the dash!!!! (see photos of VIN numbers stamped on engine block).

 The engine runs nice and smooth with good power!!  The engine has not been altered and is very original!  I don’t know if it has the original miles stated on the odometer which reads 38,614.

The Trans AM has all its smog required emissions and will easily pass the California Smog Test!!! (passed the smog test on March 2014 with no issues! I can supply a copy of the smog certificate if needed!!).

The transmission is a Turbo Hydromatic 350 and possibly is the original transmission but I could not locate the VIN Number, so I will not say it’s matching numbers.  The transmission shifts smoothly and has no problems!  

The Car was built in Van Nuys, California and has no rust!

The front suspension has been rebuilt with new upper and lower control arm ball joints and bushings.  Front sway bar link bushings were also replaced. 

Has new Rear leaf springs rubber pads installed!!

New Front brake calipers and brakes!  Rear brakes have been also replaced and are in good condition.

New gas tank!!  Rubber fuel lines have also been replaced!

New Duralast Battery!

New weather stripping installed! (doors close a bit hard due to new weather stripping and door hinges will also need to be slightly adjusted/replaced).    

The car has a very nice and Shiny “Star Light” Black Paint job with nice SE (special edition) Decals!!!!!  The Trans AM was restored and painted approx. 3 years ago.  The body is straight and free from dents and rust.  There are no major dings on the Trans Am other than the normal road debris scratches.  

There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas!  Car is Rust Free!!!

Original 15X8 Inch wheels which have been polished!!  

All four wheels look like new!! All four Center Wheel Caps are in good condition!!  Front tires are Goodyear Radial  245-60-15 and the rear tires are BFGoodrich 275-60-15.  Car was stored for a while and tires might need to be replaced.

Original front and rear seat frames.  Seats have been reupholstered and are in like new condition!

New black Headliner with no tears!

T-Tops are in very good condition with no cracks!

Clean door panels!!

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
