1975 Pontiac Trans Am on 2040-cars
Fairfax Station, Virginia, United States
|
1975 Pontiac Trans Am originally a 400/ 4 speed car, now it sports a 505 cubic inch supercharged Pontiac roller motor. The block was purchased directly from ALLPONTIAC.COM. A Paxton NOVI 2000 supercharger is currently making 12.7 pounds of boost which equates into 650 rear wheel horsepower and over 700 foot pounds of torque. The brackets for the supercharger are all CNC custom made. A March serpentine system runs power steering, alternator, water pump and A/C!! The transmission is a Tremec TKO 600 five speed. A custom made Strange Engineering Ford nine inch rear completes the drive train with 3.89 gears. A Hotchkiss Total Vehicle System, Hotchkiss sub frame connectors and Competition Engineering Slider Links makes up the suspension. The car sits 2 inches lower than stock. The front brakes are slotted rotors and the rears are 11 inch drums. A hydroboost system ensures stopping power. Aeromotive 3000 electric fuel pump with sump, all plumbed in stainless steel braided line. The interior is very stock looking and in original condition. A Quick Fuel air fuel computer is present to read real time percentages. Upon purchase, this car was sent to Farrish Pontiac where it was stripped and painted base/clear in the cars original color, Argent Silver. No rust at the time the car was painted nor does it have any now. Floors and trunk are all original and solid. All new weather stripping, new Trans Am decals which were supplied by Phoenix Graffix. Car is very original looking but is a race car underneath. The wheels are original honeycombs which have been restored with the original wheel paint. I had it custom made by 3M. The rear wheels are 15x9, they were sent to Weld Craft Wheels where they were widened 2 inches. Tires are sticky M&H Racemasters. This build is about 1500 miles old and has never seen the track. It has been covered in the garage and driven only to cars and coffee. This build was completed by George Reggio at Maryland Performance Center. |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, 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.
Driving Notes
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.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 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.
