*Special Edition/Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Trans Am (Y82 Code)*


ONE OF 533 MADE WITH T-TOPS!!!  2400 total Special Editions Trans Ams made in 1976; 533 were T-tops (THIS IS A T-TOP CAR!):
  • First year of new style front bumper
  • Last year of the single headlights
  • First year a black Trans Am was made
  • PHS (Pontiac Historic Services) documents included 
  • Tires are very good
  • Runs and drives (18mpg highway)
  • Original gold honeycomb rims
  • Factory power windows
  • Edelbrock Four Barrel
  • The car has spent its life between ND and SD.
Work that is needed:
  • The paint is rough and most of the decals are no longer on the car.
  • The left exhaust manifold is cracked and the 2nd from last bolt is broke off.
  • The T-top roof has been cut off and replaced with a hard top.
  • From underneath it looks like there may have been some repair done to the rear.  There is a small hole starting in the trunk pan, and a few inches behind the leaf spring hanger on the passenger side (especially) looks like it needs to be reconstructed or replaced.
  • The original deluxe vinyl seats are now cloth.
  • The dash has been cut to accommodate a CD player.
  • The A/C just quit blowing cold.  I believe the dryer needs to be replaced.
  • I don't believe this is a numbers matching engine because the front stamping is YC.
  • The lower valance and the fairings don't seem to match up.  I am not sure what is right and what is wrong.
Please contact me with any questions or requests for specific pictures you may have.  I'll get back to you with a prompt response.

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.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
