This a one owner car, I bought it in August of 87 and still have the window sticker. It has always been a daily driver until about 3 years ago. I bought a new car and put this one in the garage. It has been well mantained. (I am a mechanic of 30 yrs) All service work and repairs have been done by me. It has not been in any major accidents. The front bumper cover has been replaced twice. Once from a minor fender bender, the second time due to a deer hit. Had to replace the right front fender on the deer hit as well. All parts were OEM. It has had a few door dings fixed too. I had a complete all over paint job done before the deer hit about 6 or 7 years ago. For some reason the paint did not take to the new bumper cover and is peeling off. About 3 years ago I had a second deer hit on the drivers door and rear quarter panel and from that I tapped a guard rail on the right side. (minor damage from that and have not been fixed) The tranmission is original, the engine is not. In 87 there was a problem with eng blocks cracking in the lifter valley area and letting coolant in. Well, I got 116k out of mine before it happened to me. Replaced the 185hp 305 with a 330hp 350 GM Performance eng. Added MSD distribitor, MSD ignition box, headers, performance cat. converter, stainless steel exhaust. It looks completely stock when you open the hood. It runs very well. I also have new in the box, a GM Performance port fuel injection system that would boost the hp to 350 or more. The interior is in good shape, some sun fade. The dash pad is cracked and I have a new headliner panel for the area behind the T-Tops. The T-Tops do not leak but the rear window will sometimes. Had it fixed a couple of times but, only last for a couple of years. Has a new radio with cd player. I have the original radio but, it stopped working. I also have the T-Top bags and new trunk liner. I may have new weather stripping for the doors and windows. I will have to look for it.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
