Roanoke, Virginia, United States
THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY TRANS AM AUCTION. THIS CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL AND VERY SOLID. I OWN A BODY SHOP HERE IN VIRGINIA AND JUST FINISHED A COMPLETE REPAINT. THIS INCLUDED STRIPPING THE CAR TO BARE METAL AND REPAIRING ANY PROBLEM AREAS, EPOXY PRIMERING, 2K PRIMERING, BLOCKING AND FINALLY FINISHING UP WITH A BASE CLEAR PAINT JOB. I WOULD RECOMMEND FINISHING THE CAR WITH TRIZACT SANDING AND BUFFING. THE CAR HAS MINOR DIE BACK THAT COMES WITH ANY MULTPLE LAYERS OF MATERIAL. ( I COULD HAVE IT DONE IF WINNING BIDDER WOULD LIKE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE ) I HAVE TAKEN THIS RESTORATION TO A POINT THAT ANYBODY COULD FINISH AT HOME. THE EXPENSIVE PART THAT MOST PEOPLE CONTRACT OUT IS DONE. THE CAR WILL NEED ALL OF THE CORRECT EXTERIOR DECALS, STRIPING, RUBBER SEALS, TIRES, ONE RIM WITH TRIM RING AND CENTER CAP AND A PARTIAL TO FULL INTERIOR KIT .THE CAR WILL COME WITH THE ORIGINAL 400 ENGINE. THIS ENGINE WILL NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD. THE 400 THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE CAR IS BELEIVED TO BE OUT OF A LATE 76 EARLY 77 TRANS AM. THIS ENGINE DOES HAVE A "NOISE " KNOCK WHEN IT RUNS, THE OIL PRESURE IS GREAT. ITEMS THAT ARE NEW THAT I INSTALLED INCLUDE PLUGS, INTAKE AND VALVE COVER GASKETS, ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND CARBURATOR KIT. I AM SURE THAT YOU MAY FIND OTHER THINGS THAT YOU FEEL THE ENGINE IN THE CAR MIGHT NEED. THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL CAR RIGHT DOWN TO THE SOLID EXHAUST WHICH STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE UNDERSIDE IS VERY SOLID WITH A DIME SIZE RUST SPOT AROUND THE CONVERTER, THIS CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE LOCALLY AND OTHER AREAS, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF NECESSARY. I WOULD ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES TO COME BY TO THE SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION. I AM IN VIRGINIA, SO PLEASE RESPECT THE TIME DIFFERENCE IF YOU ARE CALLING FROM A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE. PLEASE CALL MIKE FOR QUESTIONS. THANKS 540 353-2269

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."
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 could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
