76 Pro Street Trans Am
This is my 76 Trans Am Pro Street car. I bought this car as an old stripped out forgotten drag car. The body was very solid being it was used only as a drag car since 1983. It was then stripped out and left for dead in 1995. I found it on E-Bay in 2001 and started to bring it back to life. The only thing I got was the shell, no wiring, brake lines, gas line or anything. I first started by striping down the under side of the car. I redid the rear frame using an S&W Race cars 4 link with a Super car rear setup with 4:56 Gears and Wilwood 4 piston disk brakes. Carrera Chrome Adjustable coil over shocks. I had a custom aluminum 15.8 gallon fuel cell built. For the front suspension I used Jim Meyer Race Cars Tubular front control arms with Hal Corp adjustable coil overs and Wilwood 4 piston caliper disk brakes. The interior was all custom built by me. It has a fiberglass dash and console. The dash needs a bit of finish sanding to be complete. I was planning on painting it to match the outside of the car. It also has a Hurst Pistol Grip shifter. And a 10 point roll cage. I also have new tan JMS racing seats for it with 5 point harnesses. I have new door panels that will need to be dyed to match the seats. I also have new carpet still in the box. All the Autometer gauges will be included. The car rolls on 33x21.50 Mickey Thomson Tires with Weld 15x15 wheels in the rear and 26x7 up front. I am now running a new LS6 454 complete with Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads, Full roller cam' Crane roll rockers and gear drive. It has an 8-71 Supercharger with two 750 double pumper blower carbs. It's pushing 800HP. The transmission is a TCI TH400 Full manual w/ reverse valve body. It has a Denny's Drive Shafts Super Car drive shaft in it. The motor is brand new over $15,000 invested. The motor and transmission can be bought with the car if interested. But not included in this listing. I am including the headers and exhaust if you want them. Theres just way to much to list here about the car. It was built with the best of everything. If you have any questions just send me a message. I have 100's of pictures of building the car which I will send to you. Heres a video of the car as it was being built. I have a Youtube video of the build if anyone wants it message me. The motor and trans will be removed when auction is complete and deposit of $1000 is received.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following 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.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
