1975 Pontiac Trans Am With %100 Restored 400 Engine on 2040-cars
Taylor, Texas, United States
This is my project car, motor is completely restored. Have around $4000
in it alone! Body does need lots work. Lots of new parts, headers, 2500 stall
converter, carb, plugs, wires, 4core radiator. The
hurricane turbine wheels are sold with and not seperate. The engine is a
400 and is balanced and blueprinted from Kindricks automotive in San
antonio. I have all the receipts and Dyno pulls from the shop. It does
NOT have any hours on it. I run a little gas at a time to keep the motor
loose. Tranny is a turbo 350 (Pulled and checked) Dont have the specs
on the rear end but is compatible. Dyno papers read.....(PULL PEAK
HORSEPOWER @4900RPM=420.3), (PEAK TORQUE @4000 RPM 497.5 FT/LB) I start restoring from the motor first, still need gas lines, and new gas tank to run engine correctly. New brakes system all around (rotors, drums, lines, booster) to get it moving down the road. Just
dont have the time or money to finish right now. This is a very valuable
car if it is restored.
This car has been family owned, and I would like to see it completely restored. I can deliver the car depending on location for a charge. Cash only sale.

Block #'s 9799914 This is one of the better 400 built by Pontiac. I had more work done to get it at 420 hp. The engine alone is very valuable. The exterior has small to medium rust spots, chrome trim loose, and floor pans rusted through.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
