Introduction: Up for auction is an extremely nice, 3 owner, 1978 Pontiac Trans Am WS6. This car features the first year for the WS6 and has a lot of rare options. Not to mention the car brandishes 99% of its original paint. The car is an extremely nice, very original, Matching Numbers, Trans Am with a nicely preserved 67,000 miles. Let's take a walk around it and see what she has to offer.

Exterior: Pouring over all of these classic Trans Am lines is a lustrous code 19 Starlight black finish. The body is 100% original Detroit iron and in excellent condition. The paint is in very good condition as well and maintains 99% originality. There is an area on the rear driver's side quarter panel that was blended after a scratch was repaired. There was also a scratch on the hood that was blended to hide a scratch. Other than those two small areas the rest is original. There is some paint checking on the driver's side "B" pillar (see pics) as well there are some small rust bubbles on the lower driver's door (see pics) There are a couple of other spots that has some pulling (see pics) Again this is all original body and paint that is razor straight and looks perfect from 5 feet away. The body is very straight and has a mirror like reflection. All the glass is in great condition and is chip, scratch, and crack free.  The Fisher  T-tops fit snuggly into place, are in great condition, and seal very well. The original Factory Fisher T-Top bags are included with the car. Every light, signal, and indicator work properly. As you can see even the original, unpainted, wheel spoiler welting is in pristine condition.

 

 

 

Interior: Straight off the showroom floor, this nicely appointed muscle car interior is as mint as they come  The original black vinyl interior is in outstanding condition and has been nicely preserved as well. The seats show very minimal wear with no burns, stains, rips, or holes. Carpet, door panels, headliner, console, etc are in great shape as well. The interior is totally complete and functional. All of the gauges function properly, gauge lights are bright and work nicely with the dimmer. I have owned several of these cars and have not seen one that the every light, switch, and system function properly and reliably. Even the clock keeps accurate time and the cigarette lighter actually works. Power windows work well. 

This car features:

Pulse wipers

Rare radio delete option

Power trunk release

Rear window defrost

Cruise control

Power windows

Air conditioning

All 4 original GM floor mats

Fisher T-Top bags

 

The air conditioning works and blows very cold. Heat works great too and the blower motor functions at all speeds. Power windows move with ease and seal very nicely. There is a small wear hole in the carpet on the driver's side from the heal of a shoe resting on it over the years. Other than that the interior is perfect! The dash and rear package tray are straight and free of holes, cracks, or warpage.

 

Mechanical: Turn the key and bring to life the numbers matching 6.6L 400 Pontiac V8. The engine runs very strong and is incredibly smooth. There has never been any leaks or smoking of any kind.  The odometer reads 67,757 and runs very well. In 1996 she was titled with 53,500 miles. She always starts and has never left me stranded. She runs cool all day long and maintains about 60psi+ oil pressure at cruising speed. The TH350 trans shifts out nice and firm the way it is supposed. The car handles and drives very tight and effortless. The steering is responsive and tight with no slop. The brakes bring everything to a halt promptly and smoothly. The floors, trunk, and frame rails are in outstanding condition. The handling of the car is very responsive and stable. It is a blast to drive! Everything under the hood is completely original with every factory valve, vacuum line, reservoir, and wiring still in tact and uncut. The original owner worked for the Holley company and installed one of the first aluminum intakes on this car. I still have the original complete manifold setup that goes with the car.

Paperwork on the car:

Original window sticker (with copy)

Both original build sheets (with copies)

Any piece of paperwork that came with the car when purchased

Several maintenance receipts

Warranty booklets

Original owners manual

Original dealership model brochures

PHS documentation

Original service and parts manuals

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
