1976 Trans Am 455 / 4spd "barn Find" on 2040-cars
Church Hill, Tennessee, United States
|
Im offering up one of the jewels of my personal stash! this is a complete, NEVER wrecked, NEVER blown, NEVER molested 1976 Trans Am 455/4spd car. It has only had the OEM radio and the A/C compressor removed. The a/c lines were not damaged and remain intact. It DOES RUN and DRIVE! This car was discovered in a local mans basement a couple years ago by a buddy of mine, where it had been setting since july of 1995! This is an original all OEM 455 car. The car needs and is certainly worthy of a ground up restoration. Everytime I drive this car I catch myself looking in the glove box for my Eagles 8-track! It runs, drives, and feels like a Trans Am should, tight and quick! The engine has been massaged and has a nice torquey sound and feel. THE BODY - Suffers from the all too typical rust as most T/As do, However its effects are limited to the qtr panels and the floor pan. THERE IS NO RUST OUT! In the drain trays, trunk floor, cowl panel, or sub rails! The RT Qtr will require full replacement, the LFT Qtr needs the panel behind the wheel opening. a small area in the pass front floor and the toe bd on the drivers floor. The car has never had a repaint. There are new replacements for the missing fender foilers included THE INTERIOR - Shows typical wear for a T/A of these yrs. there are no components missing. Most of the interior is tired, however the steering wheel/column are in good condition, the upper door panels are nice, the lowers are salvageable as well. the console is nice and its solid. The headliner and sail panels are most likely canidates for replacement as well. the dash is crack free. The OEM radio is missing but all other components are intact. A new carpet kit is included. THE ENGINE - Is smooth and powerful. It appears to have been rebuilt or @ least warmed over. It has what feels and sounds like a Ram Air III cam, headers and new dual exhaust. The tranny is the correct muncie with OEM shifter. The clutch is toast and needs replaced. Not having to rebuilding the engine saves a boatload of cash on the restoration. The A/C pump has been removed, but the lines have been covered to protect em.
Im selling this car as-is where-is. I fully expect the winning bidder to pick this up in East TN. I will assist with loading onto your carrier I have so many projects that Ima lifetime behind, thats the only reason Im letting it go. It will make an excellent restoration of one of pontiacs finest examples of horsepower and grace. I am more than willing to provide any information that will allow a bidder to make a well informed intelligent decision. Please ask any questions you might have. The winning bidder will be required to make a deposit of $1000.00 thru paypal @ the end of the auction with the balance due in cash or certified funds upon pick up. If you have a boatload of neg feedback you need to contact me before bidding. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck! |

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
