Highly optioned 1977 Trans Am for sale. This car sold new in Overland Park, Kansas; I have the Build Sheet and the Pontiac Historical Documents proving its authenticiy. I purchased from the Kansas owners several years ago and shipped to Georgia. It is currently titled in Georgia in my name. The best way to describe this Trans Am is "the car that your local Pontiac dealer would call his favorite customer and say I have a low mileage, excellent condition, just as good as new that you need to buy." It is a 1977; the year of the Bandit and the year to own.
Guys seem to always want to talk about the engine or the performance of the car before anything else; I am no diffferent. This Trans Am came with the L78 engine option; the 200 horsepower Pontiac engine; best availabe in 1977. It is also equipped with the 3.23 posi-tration rear axle. Of course, the Trans Am came with the large diameter front and rear sway bars. There is a photo of the Build Sheet that shows all the options the car came with; I have also comfirmed that the engine block is original to the car and is stamped with the code Y6 and has the car's VIN is stamped on the block as well. I did do one upgrade; I changed the exhaust manifolds from stock to the Ram Air units that were availabe in the late 60's and completed the exhaust system with Dynoflow mufflers and new exhaust splitters. The BF Goodrichs TA's (245-60-15) are new and have very few miles. The exceleration and the handling will please the owner; fun to drive.
As stated earlier, this Trans Am is highly optioned. It is a striking color combintion of Cameo white exterior and Firethorn Red interior. I had the car repainted about 3-4years ago and completed with new Phoenix graphics decals. I never thought the 1978 red bird for the hood had enough color so I changed to the later version(80-81) which is much more striking with lots of color. The interior is the Deluxe version in Firethorn Red. There are no cracks and no problems; I had the front seats recovered because of fading; but, they actually would do just fine in most cars. The car came with Air Condition and Cruise Control; both still work. The air condition is nice on hot days or just when my wife does not want the wind to blow her hair. The guages all work; the previous owner installed a newer radio system in the glove compartment, but the orignal is still in the dash. The electric windows still function. The interior pictures show just how nice the inside is today.
The pictures and the documentation speak for themselves; this is a super nice car. If you have any questions or would like to see the car, please call me Randy 770/634-3093. But remember to do this before the bid end; you are bidding to own; not to come inspect after the bid end.

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k
Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
