1979 Firebird Trans AM. I bought this car running 15 years ago. Slowly have been working on it. SLOWLY..I flat dont have time or money to continue this project and instead of being frustrated with it I'm going to sell it. This car was data plated with a 403 olds and factory slap shifter not dealer installed. A fairly rare car..When I pulled the vin years ago it was one of say 750 made. I have pulled everything out of it. The 403 was trashed so I sold off the block and had a 455 laying around which I took to a machine shop in Tumwater, WA and they did enough magic to pull off what we think is a 503 now with Edelbrock guts. Engine still needs the bling for the outside. Its never been run and is on the engine stand wrapped in plastic. Trans is a 350TH with a factory slap shifter. Nothing had been done to it other than removed from car. Trunk has been blasted and repainted with spatter. Interior has been gutted and installed are: new carpet, new package tray with new 6x9 speakers, new headliner, new dome light, all dash lights swapped for LED bulbs, Dash and steering wheel have been restored, gauge cluster has been pulled apart cleaned and re-assembled, refaced dash bezel, restored gauge rings, new dash knobs, new lighter and assy, new grab handle. New glove box and restored glove box door with new lock (un installed). All interior plastics refurbished, new ashtrays, re dyed seatbelts, new sill plates (uninstalled), new door gaskets and bumpers (uninstalled). New slapshifter bezel (repop not installed). Rear seat re-upholstered in standard, car came with deluxe but i liked the standard seats. I have the front seats which need new foam and upholstery. Center console has had repairs done to make it usable but I was going to get a new one, I do have a new center console box, lid and lock as well as a reface kit for the console. New pedal rubber and bezels. All interior hardware is new and I still have some that needs installations. I have more new speakers and 2 chrome blinged amps still in the box.
This car is at the point where paint and body needs to get done before I go further. I started working the passenger door but I dont know what Im doing so I stopped. It looks ok but not perfect enough for black for paint. I bought 2 additonal doors with all the power window and lock gizzys to swap into the car since it didnt come with any of that. Theres a few rust spots in the usual places behind the wheel well on both front fenders. Plan was new fenders anyway. Shaker hood and scoop with assy not shown in picts, Im sure Ive got more but I cant think of it all right now.
2 brand new front tires mounted on some crappy cragars just to roll it around. 2 snoflake wheels which need restoring.
Youll get everything I have for this car..This car needs to go to a good home..not to someone who is just going to duct tape it together and wrap it around a tree. Your going to need a trailer to haul her home and room for all the extra stuff youll get with her.
No you cant drive it home, Yes it has a crystal clear title, NO scams NO flakes and NO emails from Nigeria please. This is also listed on craigslist..first come first serve.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
