1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. I purchased this car as seen in the picture with it on the U-Haul auto transport. The car barely ran & didn't move under its own power as the transmission was damaged. The non original engine (orange one my hoist) was shot, so I grabbed a spare and had it rebuilt (I have the paperwork for the rebuild so buyer can see). It has about 9.1:1 compression ratio compared to the stock compression ratio of 7.6:1. The transmission is a rebuilt TH350 with s stock torque converter. The rear differential that came in the car was a 4.33:1 geared rear, anyone who knows Pontiac engines knows that a 4.33:1 gear ratio is way too steep, something like 3.42:1 or lower works better, so for use on the highway I installed a 2.41:1 posi differential to replace the drag differential. This current engine is more than capable of moving this car like it has a 4.10:1 gear ratio. The Rochester Quadrajet is a rebuilt off a 1972 Pontiac GTO 400, the intake is painted alumiblast & is also off a 1971/72 400 without EGR provision. I have a rebuilt starter, rebuilt power steering pump, new 100amp chrome plated one wire alternator, new water pump & divider plate, new fuel pump, hoses, belts, 4 row radiator, new battery, new battery cables, new brake master cylinder, rebuilt front brake calipers, new brake pads, new brake wheel cylinders, new brake shoes, new fuel tank, new fuel sending unit, new header back exhaust system from Jeg's High Performance, new door handles & locks, new stereo (CD, AM/FM w/Aux inputs), interior cleaned up, new door seals (rubber), new trunk seal (rubber), new poly body mounts, new rear shackles, new rear bushings & new windshield. The pictures of the car with the Pontiac Rally II rims are the rims that are currently on the car, however, I will include the 15x8 snowflake rims also pictured on the car, the tires are on another vehicle but I do have the correct lug nuts & center caps. The engine has 3-4 hours of run time plus about 70 miles since the rebuild. this car has some rust issues such as the spot on the hood, the rocker panels and some surface imperfections. I will be shooting close ups of the rust this week, it is a nice driver quality car that could use a repaint and some more finishing touches. My specialty is working on the stop and go and not body repair, this car runs good and drives great especially down the highway at 70mph keeping up with the rest of traffic. This car could be driven home without issue, I would not hesitate driving this car across country as is. the seats are the only interior part that I didn't have the money to recover so that is the only thing left in the interior to be done. This car is in really good shape for being 37 years old, please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We 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 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.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
