Up for auction this week is a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This is an original black car with black velour interior. The seats and dashpad are original. The headliner, carpet, and doorpanels have been replaced. This is a very good running and driving car that is a work in progress. The paint is five years old and is a PPG base/clear urethane. The clear is 2021 with DCX 61 catalyst, for those in the paint world. It still looks very nice, but is not a concours show car. It has never been buffed. The gold SE stripe kit was recently added making this Trans Am a real attention grabber. The tires are Goodyear radials with 85% tread remaining. It is a factory A/C car, missing only the compressor and manifold lines. The condensor and underdash A/C parts are still in the car. As seen in the interior photo, the radio is missing. These are among a few minor items that make this a work in progress in my opinion. This is a car that you can enjoy immediately while finishing the detail touches. It gets a lot of attention wherever it goes. It is a solid car with no rust issues. The TH 350 transmission developed a minor leak a few months ago, so while is was out to be repaired, I had the mechanic go ahead and completely rebuild it. The Rochester carb was rebuilt about a year ago and cranks easily and performs well. The snowflake wheels are factory 15x7. Someone decided it was a good idea (NOT) to install 1979 tail lights and rear bumper on the car. This could easily be changed back with standard 1978 Firebird parts from a salvage yard. Don't miss out on a very reasonably priced car that you can drive and enjoy now. This car is for sale locally for $6500.00, so I reserve the right to end this auction at any time in the event that it sells. I am selling this car as is. If you personally come look at this car after winning it, and you feel I haven't accurately described it, you do not have to take it. However, if you are the winner and have someone else come get it before you see the car, there will be no refunds. You are welcome to come see and hear it run at any time during the auction. Thanks for looking at my auction.
On Aug-25-13 at 19:24:14 PDT, seller added the following information:I just want to be sure that everyone is aware that the SE trim was added to an original black car, but it is not an original SE car.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The 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.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
