So the story goes....

I bought directly from the original owner who was a line worker at GM , he traded in his 1972 Impala for this Trans Am for his wife. He drove and maintained the car up to 2002 at that point it was kept in his masonry garage started occasionally to keep the fluids going but essentially in storage. Inspection and registration stickers which are still are the windshield reflect that. The owner also completely rebuilt the original engine at Pontiac in 1998 at appox .100,000 miles . The car now has 106,000. When I purchased last year I had to replace the dry rotted tires and bad exhaust. I replaced with new correct size BF Good Rich Radial TA's and a correct style Magna Flow Exhaust with correct style tips feedin from the single catalyst convertor connection , so essentially looks great and sounds great . I also replaced the worn shock absorbers with KYB'S and installed a new battery and one brake line at the master changed the oil with ZDDP Defy. The car runs fabulous posi works transmission shifts correctly and super smooth on the highway . I did not charge the a/c though compressor is free and there is a new heater core in the trunk old one was bypassed. The factory am/fm radio sounds great and works great as does the factory CB radio with magnetic mount antenna. This is not a show car but a great jump in and drive driver . I would never completely restore this car its too original I would address the minor common rust at the bottom of the 1/4 s the trunk is fine and completely intact as is the space saver spare and tire inflator. The car is for sale locally as is my 1987 Trans Am convertable that was just used in the Wallmart/Jordache commercial ( ck youtube) . Please do not expect much and you'll be very happy to be able to experience this car tires smoking 4 barrels open is like no other it really is a big bad toy. My direct cell/text is 9176702299 Scott. I can help with deliver truck pick up or come down and drive it home starts at one turn of the key always hot or cold. There is no PAYPAL deposit cash, bank chack or wire transfer . 48 hours thats it . Do not Bid if you can not meet these terms . thank You and good luck.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
