1978 Pontiac Trans Am project car. It is an original 400 engine car. The original engine has a spun bearing and is disassembled. Block & intake have been hot-tanked. Valve covers and misc brackets have been blasted and primed. Hood, fenders, radiator core support has been blasted and epoxy primed. The core support is in very good condition. I have new door handles, new door hinge bushing and new misc body bushings for this car. The car was mostly complete when it was disassembled and I have most everything that was removed. There is an extra nose and misc front end parts that came from a donor car. Shaker assembly is there. When I got the car it had a 400 turbo trans in it but I am not sure that is original. 1 section of floor behind the drivers seat has been replaced. The other floor peices are cut and ready to be fitted in the car. The trunk needs a small section replaced. The cross brace in the trunk floor has already been replaced. The bottom of the quarters will need to be replaced. I just sent off the clear title to be registered in my nme so it should be back by the time of pickup.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
