1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 5.7l Repairable Easy Project on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:98209
Location:

Enfield, Connecticut, United States

Enfield, Connecticut, United States

 This auction is for a 1998 Trans Am with a 5.7 LS1 engine and 4L60E automatic transmission.  The car has been in a very minor front end collision as shown in the pictures.  It was paid off by the prior owners insurance company and therefore it has a salvage title. 

The car is in very nice shape and was obviously very well taken care of.  The body is in nice shape, with no rust and the paint shines great.  There are a few small scratches and chips here and there as is expected on a car of it's age but I would say it's in above average condition.  The interior is all in very good condition as well.  The seats are leather, with no rips or tears and are quite comfortable.  It has all of the usual power options and a Monsoon stereo system which plays loud and clear.  The wheels are chrome plated aluminum and are not peeling or flaking. 

The LS1 engine runs and sounds great and the car drives in the yard.  I have not driven it on the street.  The car has headers and a modified exhaust with no cats and an SLP intake, other than that it appears to be all stock.  Everything on the car seems to work as it should.

The damage on the car is very minimal, I really am at a loss as to why it was totaled.  It will need a left headlight assembly, repair or replace the front cover and replace the left fender.  The hood needs very minor repair as shown in the pictures.  The right fender will need paint as well (clear is peeling where the auction company put tape on it).  This about as easy as you can get in a project car and will require a very minimal effort to get back on the road.  I have a headlight and a left fender that will be available to the winning bidder for an additional $200 if wanted. 

This car is being sold as is with no warranty.  It is not fit for the road in it's current state due to the headlight and the fact that it is illegal to operate a salvage vehicle prior to repair in CT.  It has a salvage title.  Please do not bid on the car if you do not intend to buy it.  Feel free to ask all questions that you have  before the auction ends, I will be glad to answer them.  I will be glad to assist with loading the car on a truck if you need it shipped and will try to help buyer find shipping through Central Dispatch.  I have an account there and will list it to help find a ride.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

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.
