1976 Trans Am. My older brother bought this car in about 1980 and had in storage the last twenty years. The Engine, Tranny and Car Vin numbers all match. The Drivers seat has a some small tears but outside of that the interior is completely 95% intact as it came from the factory new. The seat covers in the pictures were put in twenty years ago and I would recover the seat or have an upholstery shop repair the drivers seat as it is rare to find a original seat cover in this condition. The stick shift and the shift knob both say Hurst on them. The motor is a 400 with 4 speed manual transmission. Anyway interior is all original. Classic Industries sell new authentic upholstery for $269 dollars a set for the front seats. I left the old School fuzzy seat covers on for the time being and decided whoever buys it could have the seat covers repaired or to have new covers put on would be up to them. The engine compartment is how it was when I got the car and is not perfect but is pretty much original condition and still needed to have the auto polish from the paint job cleaned off the air cleaner etc. The radiator support looks like it may have been straightened in the past. The tires are BF Goodrich TA's 265/50/15's in the front and 275/50/\15's in the rear. Apparently this size of tire is no longer available in 50's but they were in good shape, had plenty of tread left in them and fit the looks of the car so I replaced the corroded SS Cragers with brand new ones and they look great on this set up. After replacing all the rubber molding on the doors and trunk they all shut hard but I assume that settles in after a while. They shut fine before the new molding was put on and seems to be getting better the longer it's on. Car needed new alternator and wiper motor so they are both new or rebuilt. New headlight switch so dash lights dim correctly. Car comes with original inflateable spare tire and like new original jack. Large firebird decal could use to be replaced if you want it to be perfect. Tack and Speedometer work fine as does the odometer. Car shows 65,152 miles as of now but above I added some for driving around getting the bugs out. I put in new plug wires and spark plugs. The wires were shot and now the car runs pretty darn good. 4 barrels needed some lubrication and freeing up put seem to work as intended now. I put in a new K & N air filter and had the brakes all re-done. Car handles really good with the tire combination and steering is really fast compared to cars these days. Drivers door glass has scratches that I would change out if I was keeping it for my self for show. I drove the car out to dinner and it gets a lot of thumbs up. Of all the Trans Ams years and colors I believe this is one of the sharpest looking TA made from the round headlights to the front and rear bumper covers. Want more info and any additional pictures just ask.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
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."
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
