SELLER REMARKS

If you're Bill Mitchell, arguably one of the most influential car designers of all time, and you get hold of a 1980 Trans Am, what would you wish for? This incredible 1980 Trans Am is the answer to that question, boasting a long list of functional and cosmetic upgrades specified by Mr. Mitchell himself and only 9k actual miles, making this car far more than your average black Bandit.


Being able to dip into the world's largest automaker's parts bin is a fantastic advantage and the result was perhaps the most amazing semi-factory second-gen F-body ever built. After leaving GM, Bill Mitchell started his own design/build firm and a few cars like this slipped out. Of course, since then it's had four owners who all cherished it like it was something truly remarkable, and while it has been lightly modified over the years (including those gorgeous oversized wheels), everyone has been very careful to respect its original specs. The incredible Starlight Black paint was recently applied at a cost of over $10,000, and we've never seen paint so deep and dark on a Trans Am before; this might very well be the best black paint job we've ever seen. Most of the Pontiac's overbearing gold decals were deleted at Bill Mitchell's shop in 1980, save for some highlights around the bumper and on the hood scoop, so it looks very sinister prowling the streets and must have blown people away back in the day. A slightly deeper air dam helps with the long, low, wide look, and impeccable fit and finish make it stand out regardless of the mods. This car is extremely impressive.


The interior got a fairly comprehensive makeover at Mitchell's direction, including upgraded gauges and a special emblem on the center console, and it's all original in this car. This Poncho comes loaded with options, too, including power windows and locks, A/C, and a tilt wheel, and it's all in fantastic condition. Tan upholstery contrasts nicely with the black paint and all the traditional Firebird styling cues are there, including an engine-turned dashboard and three-spoke steering wheel. The state of preservation is truly remarkable, again indicative of the care this car has received over the years. Most notable, perhaps, is the Hurst cue ball shifter, which is tied to a Doug Nash 5-speed manual transmission, which was the biggest single modification to the Bill Mitchell Concept and truly transforms the driving experience. The trunk is also correctly outfitted with a factory mat and full-sized spare tire with cover.


Bill Mitchell also specified a fire-breathing 400 cubic inch engine, which is based on a service replacement block and gently modified to generate about 300 real-world horsepower. The engine bay is quite authentic-looking, from the big air scoop up top to the Pontiac Turquoise paint on the block, although a set of ceramic-coated long-tube headers and Flowmaster mufflers were added along the way. The suspension features various tweaks to make this Trans Am a 4-seat Corvette hunter and the aforementioned close-ratio 5-speed powers a 10-bolt rear with 3.08 gears on a limited slip. Bill Mitchell also specified a set of gorgeous BBS alloy wheels to replace the factory snowflakes, and they are included with the car, although it currently wears gorgeous 17-inch snowflake reproductions with fat Kumho rubber.


Documented with actual mileage, PHS paperwork, a window sticker, books, manuals, brochures, and other critical paperwork, this amazing Trans Am is not only spectacular to drive, it's also a fantastic part of Pontiac history. Call today!

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
