Two 1981 Recaro Trans Am Nascar Pace Car Projects *very Rare* on 2040-cars
Lutz, Florida, United States
Up for sale is a pair of 1981 Recaro Trans Am Nascar Pace Car Projects. I picked these up from a nice gentleman close to me who had these just sitting and waiting to be restored. I only restore 2nd gen Trans Am's and have a couple projects in front of these so I'm letting them go to someone who can put these diamonds in the rough back on the road. Anybody who knows these cars knows how rare it is to find one let alone two. Only 2000 made in 1981. The 1st car is a clean Florida title X87T (VIN 1G2AX87T7BN118796) car that had a tree fall on it across the hood area. The interior is intact and has had a 403 installed at some point in it's life. It will need body work from the tree damage but is mostly rust free. The trunk, pans, rear hinge pans, rear valance and other normal areas common to rust are clean. All I could find is some bondo on the lower rear quarters. This car is about 95% there and would make a nice resto. T-tops are in good shape. The 2nd car is a non titled (bill of Sale) X87T (VIN 1G2AX87T9BN116306) car bought as a parts car for the first. It is complete with interior and has a little more rust than the first car. It does have the 301 but only has a carb set up on it now. The intake, turbo and manifold are included however for the resto. T-tops are also in good shape. This car is a excellent parts car for the first or could even be restored if chosen. It is also about 95% there. Please remember these Super Rare cars are sold as a project. Both cars are worth approx 12k in parts. A finished Recaro T/A can sell for approx 20k so these are a solid investment. I'm not interested in selling only one or parting them out. All parts pictured are included in the sale. Buyer is soley responsible for the pick up and delivery of the cars and parts. Cars are located Outside of Tampa, Fl. 33559. Any questions please ask and thanks for looking. |

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
