1985 Pontiac Trans Am H.O. - the last year of the grumpy sounding "High Output" Trans Ams!

This 1985 Trans Am is one of a kind. It was assembled in the third week of October 1984 as an early 1985 model, but because Norwood/Ohio plant ran out of the right production parts during the model year change, they "created" a wild mix: Exterior already shows the new 1985 changes (restyled air dams, vents, tail lights) and the new '85 dashboard (with grit pattern gauge design), combined with '84 vinyl bucket seats interior. The 305 H.O. (205 hp with Premium gas) is attached to a THM 700R4 (4speed) automatic box, which officially wasn't available anymore for 1985 H.O. - of 44.028 Trans Am made altogether for the 1985 model year, 1.665 were listed as "High Output" version.

I bought this beautiful, award winning 1985 Trans Am early last year with less than 32.000 mls from the second owner who drove it only to classic car events. The first owner once stored the Pontiac in a garage for almost 13 years of the 22 years he owned it and created a wonderful clean time capsule. (vehicles history is well documented and complete).
But every car guy will confirm you just don't store a car that long without having some flaws coming along - so I had to do some improvements on this Firebird: The 4 barrel carburetor (Quadrajet) was totally refurbished, all hoses were replaced. The Alternator was renewed, also headlights (converted from sealed beam to stronger H4), foglights, headliner, hood insulation, rear wheel brakes (completely incl. emergency brake cable), brake lines (now all stainless steel), all system liquids/fluids changed, water pump renewed, also the windshield washer pump and even the flasher relay.
Soon I found myself cruising around town every night with this classic 80's T-Top Bird and even enjoyed a roadtrip to the west coast, and honestly there wasn't one single day without getting thumbs up or compliments - this Trans Am really wows the crowd and causes a stir, which makes me think it better should be kept as a show/hobby car than a summertime daily driver.
That's why I rather see it in somebody's hands who won't drive it every day and treats it the way it deserves.

The body and floor panels are all clean, the V8 looks and runs like brand new (engine was refined this summer). The four speed automatic shifts smooth and soft, the original exhaust rumbles like in the good old muscle car days. Everything works fine, even the (original!) concealed headlight motors, cruise control and A/C (blows ice cold, was refilled this spring). Nothing is worn out or cracked, no filthy smell (non smoker car). If you know cars, then you also know about GM's quality issues especially in the 80's - one reason why so many of these stylish, sleek Firebirds became extinct. You'll have to dig deep finding a better Trans Am than this one, especially in this rare H.O. version. This Trans Am is just turn-key ready to go – get in and enjoy the summer!

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.

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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
