Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary on 2040-cars
Brookline, New Hampshire, United States
beautiful 1979 10th anniversary Trans Am; VIN number 2X87K9L167272. I still have the original build sheet and owner’s manual. About 99.5% of this car has been reconditioned or replaced. I have about 1.5 inches of receipts to show the work. It is easier and shorter to list what needs to be done vs what was complete. I’ve had the car since 2003 and I never ran or turned on the air conditioner so it may or may not work. The cruise control doesn’t work. The original 8-track display is orange not red, I don’t know why, and it no longer holds the preset stations or time. Never the less, it works great with good reception and plays the tapes. The power antenna works as it should. Even the little clock in the dash still works. The car is not an original purist restoration. I fixed it to drive, not be trailered. For example, the factory cars had the underside of the engine hood a flat black and the underside of the trunk painted silver. I’ve always thought that looked strange and unfinished, therefore, I painted the underside of the hood silver and added the insolation pad. When I replaced the head liner, I used the felt material, not the original perforated vinyl because it gives the car a warmer feeling inside. It has the original rims but instead of refinishing the polished aluminum, I had them chrome plated. To me, chrome looks and holds up better than polished aluminum. I also installed a modern radio with CD in place of the map tray. There is an extra toggle switch installed next to the rear window defogger switch that controls which radio is playing. I also installed a true duel exhaust with Flowmasters and a Holley 650 or 750 CFM carburetor. I don’t remember which and my receipt from Mondello Performance Products does not list it. The original motor had 88,565 miles on it. I rebuilt the engine in 2005 and now it has 90,122 miles on the car. In ten years I’ve driven the car about 1500 miles, or about 150 miles per year. The car has been kept garaged and protected. I am a non-smoker so there are no nasty odors. I have done extensive work on this car, inside and out.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
