1979 Trans Am-10th Anniversary Edition-This is a true survivor car with 40952 original miles!!!!!It has the 403 and its the automatic. It has T-tops,power windows,power locks,it has all the goodies that the anniversary edition comes with. It has not been on the road since 2004. It is a 2 owner car. The woman I got the car from bought the car in 1985-and it had 32,000 miles on it when she bought it in 85. It has been garage kept its whole life. She said the only things that were ever changed on the car were the tires,brakes and she put a casstte player and eq in it--She unfortunately tossed the original 8 track. But other that that the car is all original with no paint work or motor mods.The car runs and drives pretty good considering it hasnt been out in 10 years. It has the old gas in it and could use plugs and wires but it runs good. The interior on the car is good except the driver seat is dried out and cracked as you can see in the pics. The other seats are very good. It has the original shag style carpet that came from the factory. No rips or holes. Just needs a cleaning. The back package tray has not been cut up. All the gauges work,even the clock and lighter. The power windows are a little slow and the passenger window gets stuck sometimes, has to be the switch. also the driver side seat belt cover is broken. The t-tops do not leak. I took the car and washed it when I got it and there was no water from the tops. Under the hood is dirty but all original-The AC compressor still works too. The car has all the books and manuals and has the original t-top covers. The body on the car I would say in is very very good condition and actually the pics dont do it justice,the paint still shines and with a good buff or wax Im sure it would look great but it still has a alot of shine to it the way it sits . It has 2 tiny rust dots and a scratch on the bottom of the driver door. She told me she hit the car with her lawnmower in the garage over the years at some point. It has 100% original paint. the driver side fender paint is coming off on the top-I took the pic. and the passenger side fender has a tiny dent in it where a ladder fell on it in the garage. It also has a couple of ping dentsand a few chips in the paint here and there They are very tiny and dont even show in the pics,all in all the paint is still really really good on the car.. It appears the car was z-barted or something as it has a factory undercoating that has wore off over the years but Im assuming it helped save this car. It has a slight exhaust leak. I believe it still has most of the original exhaust components. All the original smog stuff is on the car. Nothing has been removed. The trunk is in excellent shape as are the floor boards. Even the trunk light works. It has the original spare and jack. All and all a very good survivor car but could use a resto. I didnt want to paint it or do anything to it as its only original once. I figured I would leave it up to the new owner. This woman took very good car of the car and only put 8,000 miles on it since 1985!!!!!! It needs a restoration or keep it as a survivor car-your choice--These cars are hard to find and are going up in price fast-At least the Anniversary Editions are. Thats the T/A to have!-It has all the original books and manuals. Please feel free to ask questions or if you would like additional photos please feel free to ask. I encourage you to come see the car before bidding. It is located in Elmira NY 14905. I tried to describe the car as best I can. It is a true 40,000 mile 2 owne car-Could use a resto or drive it as it sits. I am listing it at no reserve. But I do reserve the right to end the auction as it is for sale locally so until I get a bid I reserve the right to end the auction. High bidder gets the car--

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob 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.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
