Runs Great!74 non-original Pontiac Trans Am with a much built (non original) 455 Pontiac motor (30 over 462 cubic inch).  I have a dyno sheet and a video of it making the dyno run.  This was just a quick 2 pull baseline dynoing without any adjustments using ONLY a 600CFM carburetor and 32 degrees total timing. With a larger carb and some tuning I would expect to see substantial gains in power. I have owned this car since 1991.  This list is still probably missing a few things. Freshly rebuilt and Upgraded 200 4r overdrive transmission. No real rust problems.  The interior carpet, pass seat and center console is out of the car at this time (it is here and included with it). I will include a brand New fuel tank that I was going to have modified for a racing sump pickup. Lots and lots of new stuff. This was not a real Trans Am according to the documents, it is a Formula that has been cloned. Every T/A part is here, but it’s just technically a Formula. I have recipes for almost everything. The car is showing some age and cosmetically will need a makeover in the future. I also have a complete virgin Pontiac 455 that I will include with it.

You can get in and drive this car NOW! You could even drive it home if you wanted to.  It has a lot of awesome things but I would recommend it for someone that loves to build hot rods or knows someone that builds hot rods 

THIS CAR IS BEING OFFERED AS IS (AS PICTURED)

10% DUE 48 HOURS AFTER END OF AUCTION, FINAL PAYMENT DUE 7 DAYS AFTER END OF AUCTION

 

Buyer is responsible for shipping, car will not be released till payment is clear. Prefer cash in person or wire transfer, inspections are welcome. 

I have more pictures upon request, let me know what you need. Email for my phone number it is much easier to talk than type.

Thanks for your interest.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

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.
