1979 Trans Am - “Awesome Classic”- Atlantis Blue - Muscle Car 

Up for sale we have a “Primo Investment” and “Excellent Fun Running” 1979 Pontiac Trans Am classic muscle car;  In very good condition inside and out.  Under the hood it has original 403 V-8 and automatic transmission with 59,100 original miles to the best of my knowledge. Car runs quiet (LOL) meaning no rattles or window air leaks.

It has a straight body with consistent space gaps, both doors, hood and trunk open and close smoothly with no concerns.  Appears to have “no body work”, exterior paint / gold decals (and hood eagle) in very good shape with a few minor paint chips.  Exterior paint is Atlantis Blue and looks very sharp.

The Interior has a factory fresh look and feel where the seats, console, doors, dash, headliner, and carpet are in very good shape.  It has the original factory gauges, speedometer, tachometer, oil gauge, etc. all in good working order - clock works but not like a Swiss watch.  The power windows, tilt, and interior/exterior lights all work, and A/C blows cool, and heater heats up pretty good, front defrost, and rear electric defroster / & lighted switch work well.  Power locks work but in slow motion.  It does not have any radio, but has dual rear speakers.  I bought the car with parking brake not working, wipers work but fluid spray needs work.  It has the (62X) Camel matching interior - great shape. 

This is a high end quality Trans Am - “not” a 100 point show car but it is an awesome looker with that “Sweet Hot Purr - Wow Wow” with the car's sinister  "T/A-6.6" branded shaker hood, rear and front spoilers in very good shape, side cooling ports, and honeycomb silver-gold snowflake aluminum WS6 15 by 7 wheels with the Trans Am 'gold bird' center caps. Tires are “near new” P245/60 R15.  It has power front and rear disc brakes, power steering, and dual side splitting SST exhaust pipes.

This car was made in Van Nuys, CA with VIN # 2W87K9L178,256 - it runs and idles near perfect, and shifts like it should. It runs cool, charges correctly, and leaves “no” leaking fluids. The frame, floor pans, and exhaust are solid and clean, very little to no rust on 98% of this car, there are a couple spots in rear/undercarriage, and half dollar rust hole on the catalytic converter. 

It has an immaculate trunk space and door with space saving spare tire and wheel.   I have owned the car for 3 1/2 years and has been garage kept by me, and appears it was very well kept in it’s history.  I bought the car for an investment and hardly drove it, but to keep it running properly.  This car will make a very happy buyer, I am not selling it because I don’t love the car, but because I want to move on to other financial desires.

January 2013 I was starting and running car in driveway, noticed a little fluid leakage, and speedometer jumping around not working like it always does then it quit working, I took car to Precision Tune Auto care, the fluid leakage was brake fluid, had rear brake wheel cylinders replaced, rear brake shoes replaced, brake line and master cylinder flushed and replaced with new.  Had the oil and filter changed, lubed, the oil dipstick tube was faulty and I had them replace it with a new one, speedometer was checked out and they replaced the speedometer gear retainer, and housing seals. the cable was fine.  The car was driven about 20 miles with the speedometer not functioning right.  Also had a headlight changed out, and new belts were also put on.  I had also bought a new battery about 6 months ago.  Car has been very well cared for and kept up and will make a very good buy.

Buyer responsible for shipping Vehicle, if not picked up.  Buyer must schedule pickup prior to making travel arrangements.  Anyone buying sight unseen & having the car shipped,  please have a professional 3rd party inspect car (at your cost) so what gets shipped matches what got shipped.  The buyer/transit company is financially responsible for all shipping damages.

$1000.00 US dollar no refund deposit payable to PayPal within 48 hours of Auction end, with remainder to be paid within 7 Days of Auction end.  Cash or Bank wire transfer preferred, no personal checks for the remainder of the money owed.  Car WILL-NOT be released until funds clear my Bank, or my pocket.  It is a wonderful car with a clean, clear, Minnesota title in hand.

Anyone with zero feedback will have to contact me first if they would like to bid, no exceptions.  There is no bidding then inspecting, or buying then inspecting.  With due respect I have gone to great lengths to detail and inform about this VG car with closest integrity.  If you bid you are in line to buy the car.  If you have the winning bid you have bought the car, and it has no warranty.  If you want to inspect car before you bid, I will do everything I can to make that happen. 

Shipping, fees, and taxes are all on the buyer, I pay nothing but my own E-bay fees.  If shipping becomes a reality the buyer will procure and facilitate their own transport company.  I will honor it on my end, as long as all payment is complete.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

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.

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.
