HERE IT IS ! IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THIS 1979 TRANS-AM SILVER ANNIVERSARY 4 SPEED , THEN YOU KNOW THIS IS 1 OF 500. THIS CAR IS UN RESTORED AND THE ONLY TELL TALE SIGNS OF PREVIOUS WORK THAT I HAVE SEEN IS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE RIGHT REAR QUARTER PANEL. (VIEW PICTURE) THE CAR OVER ALL IS VERY SOLID AND HAS NOT SEEN THE OUTSIDE SINCE AUGUST OF 2006. WHEN I PARKED THE CAR IT STARTED AND RAN STRONG. THE STARTER WAS SHOWING SIGNS OF AGE OR A CORRODED CONNECTION. IT WAS HIT OR MISS WHEN ENGAGING IT.THE MOST SIGNIFIGANT RUST SPOT IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE FENDER LOUVER. ( SEE PICTURE ) A FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER ARE THE RADIO AND AC COMPRESSOR ARE MISSING. I HAVE THE T-TOP LEATHER BAGS AND EXTRA TAILLAMPS. A RADIATOR AND AC CONDENSOR GOES AS WELL, HOWEVER I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY ARE CORRECT FOR THE CAR. THERE ARE SOME WIRES HANGING UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN. ( MAYBE PREVIOUS AFTER MARKET STEREO ? )THE FRONT GRILLS THAT WOULD GO AROUND THE DRIVING LIGHTS (FOGS )ARE MISSING WITH SOME TYPE OF HOME MADE MESH IN PLACE, THESE WILL PULL RIGHT OUT. THE INTERIOR WARRANTS A COMPLETE REFURBISHMENT (BECAUSE OF THE RARITY OF THE CAR). OVERALL I FEEL THE CAR IS VERY SOLID AND WITH A PROPER REPAINT AND NEW DECALS AND INTERIOR KIT, I THINK YOU WOULD BE DRIVING. THE ENGINE RAN STRONG WITH MAYBE NEEDING VALVE COVER GASKETS ETC... BEFORE REPAINTING BLOCK ETC...PLEASE CALL MIKE WITH QUESTIONS 540 353-2269 ( I AM NOT AN E-MAILER OR LIVE MY LIFE ON E-BAY) SO I WILL TAKE A POTENTIAL BUYER MORE SERIOUS IF I SPEAK TO THEM VS E-MAIL. PLEASE DO NOT BE LIKE BOATING 87 (E-BAY HANDLE ) AND BID AND WIN AND THEN ASK TO SEND PICTURES TO HIM AND THEN BAIL. I AM IN VIRGINIA, SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN CONSIDERATION WHEN CALLING. THANKS, AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following 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."

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
