1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This car was in storage for 12 years in a two car garage in Mississippi when I bought it. It was a father and son project that partially got started. I bought it and transported it to my garage where it has also sat untouched for an additional year and a half. I also purchased a gold 1978 trans am parts car and removed all the good parts off of it and they are also included in this auction. Extra Hood, two rust free straight front fenders, extra taillights, turbo 350 trans, extra leaf springs, the entire truck of this car is full of extra parts, some new, like a brake booster and master cylinder, box of new sub frame rubber bushings, etc. also new rear brake drums, new front brake rotors and calipers, extra upper and lower control arms, two extra steering boxes, steering rod, links, tie rods etc. the car has the original numbers matching w72 performance 6.6 liter engine with closed chamber heads stamp code 4., it also has the original factory Borg Warner 4 speed trans. Included also is four other engine blocks and three sets of cylinder heads, one of the set of heads are the casting 62 which are fairly hard to find. two extra intake manifolds both are the older performance non-EGR type. Three engine blocks are 400s and one is a 455. The 455 block is at standard bore as are two of the 400s. The 400 engine block on the engine stand has been at a machine shop and already prepared for rebuild. It also has a newly turned crank that goes to it. All the extra engine parts I bought, came with the parts car, so I don't know what machine shop did the work, but it is marked and tagged with the needed info. The car itself is in pretty solid condition with the normal rust on the floor panels, and other minor areas. The frame, rocker panels and other areas seem solid. This car is a project and will need to be completely stripped down and rebuilt for proper restoration. The entire interior will need restoration as well. The truck pans are in good shape and around the rear window is solid, the t-top seals were removed for inspection and the metal is solid in that area also. There is a little rust on the front windshield window posts see pics., also when I bought the car, the rear bumper was missing. I suspect it was removed due to a small damaged area on the left rear quarter, see pics. Included is a gold rear bumper from the parts car. Also under the hood, someone removed the brake cylinder, the radiator and shroud, belts etc. not sure why. The engine in the car is not seized and seems to have no oil leaks, although it does have surface rust. The distributor is there but the cap and coil is not. I have not tried to start the engine because of the missing parts. I wasn't worried about it because I originally planed to take everything apart and restore. Also I forgot to mention one set of the cylinder heads are for the 455 they are matching to the block according to the previous owner. Please contact me with any and all questions you may have prior to bidding, I will be happy to answer all inquiries. My goal is to not misrepresent anything and for you to be happy if you are the winning bidder. The winning bidder must pick up the car and all parts locally in Foley Alabama. No shipping. Thank you for looking!

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General 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.
