General: 1977 unrestored L/78 W/72 T/A 6.6 Pontiac Trans Am with just 28500 miles. I have owned the car over ten years and am the second private owner. The car has been garaged its entire life and very well taken care of. Almost all of the car's miles were put on its first year of life. There still a 1977 inspection sticker from Michigan on the drivers side window. I have only driven the car 3500 miles since then. This Trans Am is fairly rare being one of 11,402 true T/A 6.6 4 speed cars built that year out of 155,736 total firebirds. Then how many are truly left in the condition this car is?
Options: this is a low option car with no AC or power windows just the best performance parts for that year
M21 close ratio 4 speed ,AK1 f+r custom seat belts , C49 rear window defrost, A01 soft ray glass, WW7 hood decal, B51 extra insulation, Y92 lamp group, C95 dome lamp, B37 floor mats, B84 body side moldings, B80 roof drip moldings, U58 am+fm radio, Y90 custom trim group, W72 T/A 6.6 liter 4bbl engine
Drive train: 100% numbers matching and all original parts. Only maintenance items (plugs, air filter, battery, one belt, one rad hose)have been changed. The car runs as a new car does. Starts perfectly in the cold weather and the motor sounds smooth . The transmission shifts correctly . Since I have owned the car I have not had to do any mechanical repairs. It drives down the road with no rattles, tracks straight, and just drives nice.
Body: 80% original paint, never any rust ,and 100% original body parts. The paint looks very good and the car is straight. The decals are in near perfect condition. All glass is perfect. The paint does have some small chips down low on the rockers and one small (pencil tip sized ding) on the rear quarter. Both of these things are very hard to see in a photo. There has been some repainting on the car to correct scratches which were put on the car in 1977 during delivery to the dealer. I have paper work from the original dealer showing this( passenger side door , front bumper, and trunk lid) All repairs match and are done well. At car shows the car looks awesome but it is original paint and is not perfect. Tail lights, marker lights , front grills and all other body parts look as new.
Interior : Simply, the best you will find on any show car. There are no scuffs, dirt marks or worn writing. The headliner is perfect as is the original carpet. It also has dealer installed cruise control with the original paper on how to run it. The ash trays have never been used. The dash and gauges are clear and scratch free. The trunk is the best you will find also. It has not a single dirt mark or any signs of wear. The car also has a CB install kit in the trunk that includes a perfect original clip on antenna.
Extras: The car has had two upgrades from stock . The first is brand new custom billet 17" Year One snowflake wheels with BFG kdw tires ($4000+) . The second is a true duel custom exhaust($2000) made out of 2 1/4" stainless with a crossover and a single duel in -duel out flowmaster muffler. This system makes the car sound great and it looks good too. Also the original rally rims with new BFG ta radials will go with the car . The rallys are perfect originals with no damage whatsoever. The trim rings have no scratches and the original valve stem caps are still there.(new valve stems :] )
Lastly I hope you have enjoyed looking. This T/A is truly a special car . I have tried to describe it well but if you want to know more please ask. Phone at 774-678-0756 between 5-8 eastern. I will return all calls. Thx, Andy

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
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.
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.
