For sale is this 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with Fisher T-Tops, this car is in excellent condition for it's age and will make a great project if you're looking to build a show car or just a fun hotrod for the weekends. I have recently acquired the vehicle and do not have all information about the car but will tell you what I know.


First off, this thing runs great! The cars original 4.9L 301 V8 was replaced with the Pontiac 6.6L 400 V8 a couple years ago and not sure how many miles are on it. They painted the motor but does have some areas of paint that have came off you can not see these in photos but overall the engine compartment id really clean. Has an Edelbrock intake and a 600 cfm 4 barrel carb.The transmission is a 3 speed auto and is most likely original. Rear gears are 3:43 and the current mileage is about 85K and if they are original is unknown.

The car has 4 wheel disc brakes so most likely came with the WS6 suspension package but this is not confirmed since I don't have the original sticker. 

The car was originally red w/ red interior, previous owners had the interior painted and dyed to match new paint. With new paint came new decals and the 6.6L decal is now used on the hood to reflect the current motor. There are minor chips and dings in the paint in misc places and all are very minor, some chips in the interior show some of the original red. It is missing the t-top trim on the interior but does not affect the operation at all.

The body itself is 99% rust free, it has an under coating also. Very solid body. The seals are in decent condition for it's age, I would recommend new seals for the t-tops at the minimum.

Along with the upgraded motor, paint and interior carpet the car has new tires, brakes, shifter cable, shocks and 3 inch exhaust.

Power windows work good, the passenger side switch has to be wiggled at time but works, the power door locks DO NOT WORK, i have even looked into it to see if it's a fuse or something else but neither side operates but can still be locked manually.  The e brake is not connected and will be to be fixed along with the horn. The fan for the heat/ac is pretty slow and could be replaced. A/C has not been tested but was told it works just needs to be charged.

That's about everything I know, overall this is an excellent car and turns a lot of heads. Now here's the details on the Auction, PLEASE read this carefully so there's no confusion.

$1 start and a very reasonable reserve, If the reserve is met I'll be asking a $1500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit at time of auction close by pay pal only so PLEASE make sure you want this car if you're going to bid, If the deposit is not made with in 24 hours i will give a second chance offer to the next high bidder. Final payment will be CASH or Cashiers Check ONLY. LOCAL PICK UP ONLY, if you want to make arrangements to have the car transported that's fine. I'm also selling this vehicle through other avenues so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time.Please ask any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them quickly.

Thank you for looking and good luck!

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
