1972 Trans Am Clone Built 400 Engine With a Manual 5 Speed California Car Runs and drives great. Engine and trans have 5400 miles on them since rebuild. Rebuild was about 6 years ago so its been driven less than 1000 miles a year. All suspension, brakes and steering components were replaced at the same time Engine is a 1970 400 out of a lemans. It is .030 with Hyperutectic pistons, factory crank and rods, crank is .010 .010 and has a comp cam setup in it. Cam is very streetable and makes power off idle to 6000 rpm. Cam has a nice muscle car lope. Trans shifts great and all shifts are positive. Clutch is new as well, I think its a Centerforce. It is a 5 speed transmission. Brand new not rebuilt. The rearend is the factory 10 bolt with 3.55 gears and a posi. The tires have a lot of tread but are old. Rims are real Cragar Draglites. they are aluminum, no curb rash and shine pretty good. They are not clear coated so they polish up with aluminum polish easily. Front disc, rear drum power brakes, power steering. manual locks and windows. The factory gauges are in the car but factory speedo did not work with new trans so it has a new speedo just clamped to steering column. All other gauges like oil water volts are new autometer. The speedo is also an auto meter and mileage is correct to engine rebuild. It has a 5" monster tach with adjustable shift lite. The interior is in excellt condition. No tears in seats, headliner is new, carpet is new but has a slice in it by shifter. dash is near perfect with only a crack by gauges and steering column. Top of dash is perfect, tach is screwed to a pillar not the dash. easily removable. The paint is pretty good for a 12 year old paint job, few minor chips and blemishes but shows great still. All glass is good. Trim and bumpers good. Not a show car or perfect restore but a nice driver quality paint and body. Looks really good, nice shine. This is the 3rd paint job, original was red then green then this blue. There is some rust in lower portion of trunk pan and very lower corners of quarter panel are getting a few rust bubbles. This is the only rust on the car. Floor pans are solid. Doors and fenders are solid. Overall the car performs well, drives great and has pleanty of power. drives and stops straight, no pulling or shakes, no rattles, very tight suspension. Drives like a newer car. Engine is responsive, stays cool (about 180-190*) and has great oil psi. All fluids changed on time every time. Very well maintained. All the lights work, wipers, dome light, signals etc... This could easily be a daily driver or just a fun show car. Its very reliable and has no engine, trans or wiring issues. Starts and runs correct every time. Engine should make 400-425hp and it will cruise down the freeway at 70 in 5th gear around 2000 rpm. Clean California title in hand, registration is current. Car is available for viewing and test drives. Any questions please feel free to call Jarrod at 619-988-2274 |

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
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."
