Levant, Maine, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Pontiac
Drive Type: RWD AUTOMATIC 4L65E
Model: Trans Am
Mileage: 568
Trim: TRANS AM
2005 LS2 400 HP, 400 Ft.lb Torque engine. Engine came from a salvage car with mileage in the high 30's. 4l65e automatic transmission. 3.73 gear posi rear end. 568 miles on car since rebuild. Professionally restored but not a Barrett Jackson car. It's an excellent driver and is in excellent shape. It was restored over the past 3 years. The seats were custom upholstered in ultra-leather with the firebird logo embroidered into the headrest area. The car was completely disassembled. New springs, bushings, body mount bushings, rotors, pads, lines too much to list but most of what could be replaced as new has been. The wheels are original but sandblasted and powdercoated. The car was in two car shows this summer with about 150 cars in each show and placed 1st in one and third in the other. I only mention that to show that it's a nice car. Everyone's opinion of nice is different. Feel free to have someone inspect before the sale. The car will be sold as is with no warranty and no returns as it will most likely have to be shipped. Because the car is over 15 years old there is no title as Maine does not require it in a car over 15 years old. I have more than the buy it now price in just parts and the original car purchase.

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.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
