For sale is a very rare 1991 model Trans Am GTA with original 74K Miles. This car has been in storage for the past 13 years. It was part of the inventory of a car dealership that closed a few years ago. The title is clear. Low miles, all original and it used to run perfectly, with ice cold air, but unfortunately it was parked for a few years without starting it, and the darn rats may have chewed through some wiring.


Needs tires, won't start due to some sort of problem getting fuel to the engine, and has a foot long dent/scratch from a boat trailer backing into the right front fender.

The car ran great but wasn't started for over 2 years. When I tried to start it, the gas in the tank was bad, so I had to drop the tank and do a bunch of work, including new relays, pumps, and a whole lot of other tune-up and electrical work in excess of $1000. But the car won't start and stay running. The best estimate is that there is some sort of wiring problem (there is a red wire that has been chewed through and it may have something to do with the fuel system). If you spray starter fluid in the intake manifold, the engine will run momentarily. So I really think the problem is with getting fuel somewhere down the line. As I said, the miles are really low and the car ran great before being parked for a couple of years. If you are mechanically inclined, my loss will be your gain, as I am selling it at a fraction of original cost.

Since the title is not in my name and is still marked in the possession of the car dealership that is now out of business, this car can only be sold to someone who can register it in any state other than California. If you are a CA resident, please note I cannot sell this to you.

Please contact me with any questions prior to bidding.

$250 deposit after auction closes but no later than 24 hours, via PAYPAL. Balance due by cash or money order only.

Car is currently in Julian, CA and must be towed away from there on a FLAT BED truck. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs.

Thanks for looking.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
