1984 Pontiac Trans Am. Bought new at Blount Pontiac in Gainesville, Florida by a man in his early 30's. I have the ORIGINAL title showing where he bought the car on March 2nd 1984. 5.0 liter (305 cubic inch) V8 engine with the 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission, four wheel disc brakes. What is cool about this particular car, is the fact that it is a top of the line Trans Am, but it has very few options.. It has manual windows, locks, seats, mirrors, no rear window defogger etc. The radio is AM/FM only, not even a cassette player. The original spare tire and jack are still stored in their original location. 
Since I have owned it, I bought four new Mastercraft MC-440 215/65R15 tires ($300), only had three mounted, one is in my shed. Car has had the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor, air filter, fuel filter, and wiper blades replaced. I drove it from my home in Darien, Georgia to Brunswick and back three times before the engine started smoking and I believe I hear a bottom end knock (SEE VIDEOS). I need a car that will get me back forth
I have always loved the looks of these cars, ever since I was a young boy. My Sisters boyfriend had one brand new and I got to ride in it, and it was a very memorable experience for me. And there was always KITT from the TV series Knight Rider... 
Here are a few cool things about the '84 T/A:
*It is one of the most aerodynamic Trans Am's ever built. The 1983 Daytona 500 Edition (Same body with same ground effects) had a coefficient of drag of only .029!! The only notable difference between that car, and this one are the "bowling ball" hubcaps on the wheels. This car is more aerodynamic than the newer (1993 and up) cars that despite having a more aggressively raked windshield, also had a ton more frontal area. 
*This particular car, with its short list of options weighs only 3262 lbs, according to the information on the title. 
*1984 was the last year for the Finned Type taillights. They were only used from 1982-1984, and the Trans Am models were dark tinted. 
*Car has functional cold air intake system. Under full throttle, a solenoid opens a flap at the rear of the hoods cowl to allow cooler air to get to the intake.
*No t-tops = less squeaks, rattles, and wet bumpkis first thing in the morning. 
*Instrument panel backlighting is red, just like the 1983 Daytona 500 Trans Am was, and later became a Pontiac trademark. 

I have removed the air conditioning compressor, condenser, hoses, and the smog pump. I kept those pieces should the next owner decide to use them. My dream was to build a light, nimble car that could get 25 mpg +, handle like a Porsche, and run like a Cheetah on cocaine, but it is just not the right time for that to happen. (Hawks Third Gen makes LS engine conversion parts, and also have everything necessary to convert it to a 6-speed, just sayin'). 
All lights work (dome light bulb is MIA, on the list of things to get before the engine started smoking). Steering was tight and smooth. Car could use shocks and struts, as well as hood and hatch struts. There are only 150 miles on the three tires I have put on the car!

 I also have a three piece rear window louver set that goes with it. The center section is damaged, but may be repairable, either way it is yours with the car. 

This car is in REMARKABLY good condition to be an unrestored 30 year old car!! You can't find these in very good shape anymore. They don't have complicated computers running abs systems, or engine controls, and is very easy to work on and get parts for. 



Car is located in the beautiful Coastal Georgia town of Darien (about one hour south of Savannah). Make a weekend get-away out of it, and spend some time at the beach while enjoying some fresh Georgia Shrimp and your favorite beverage! 

Deposit of $250 due within 72 hours of auctions end. Balance due within 10 days of auctions end. Car is advertised locally.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
