Numbers-matching, W72 4 Speed With Build Sheet And Phs, Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Edgerton, Wisconsin, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a numbers-matching car with factory 4 speed. It has the original build sheet as well as PHS documentation. It left the factory with the following options: -Body side moldings -W72 400 4 bbl (Pontiac) engine -Custom, color-keyed seat belts -Electric rear window defrost -Soft Ray glass, all -Door edge guards -Hood decal -Additional acoustical insulation -Lamp group -Front & rear floor mats -Right hand visor vanity mirror -Drip rail moldings -Delco AM radio with 8 track player -Tilt steering -G70x15 white-lettered tires Here's a quick, walk-around video with the engine running: http://vid73.photobucket.com/albums/i224/blue71ta/1978%20Trans%20Am/MVI_9953.mp4 The engine appears to have been rebuilt as it is very clean under the valve covers and inside the intake. It has Erson roller rockers and a mild cam that gives it a nice lope at idle. The following parts are all new (or reman. in the case of the carb): remanufactured carburetor The wheels have been balanced and there is good tread on tires. The rearend is the original 3.42 ratio posi with the "PY" code. I'm pretty sure the Borg Warner Super T-10 transmission is original also, but don't see a VIN on it (probably stamped on top of the case), but it is dated correctly for the car. The body is solid for the most part, but will need some patching in a few areas (bottoms of fenders, driver's front floor & rear quarters). The trunk is in very good condition, the rear body panel is solid & frame rails look solid. Check out the pics and video for more detail. The tach, clock and temp gauges are not currently working, but all other gauges work. The radio is not working, nor are the lights & signals. These shouldn't be too hard to fix, just haven't had time. *Car will need to be trailered as the brakes need work and are not safe. Feels like the right front rotor is warped. I have a pair of used rotors off a '79 T/A that I will include with the car. This is a great start for a restoration. It's a numbers-matching, 4 speed car that runs & drives. You can fix while you restore / drive. Please ask all questions before bidding and only bid if you plan to complete the transaction. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end, with the balance due on or before the day the car is picked up. Full payment within 5 days of auction end. Car can be picked up after that as long as arrangements have been made. Balance is to be paid in cash or by wire transfer. |

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
