1979 Black on Black 403 Automatic Cloth Hard Top Asking $27,500 OBO All Reasonable Offers Considered Mileage as of this date is original 24,403 Kilometers ( 15,130 miles ) Yes. A very nice, very gorgeous low mile 1979 Trans Am. This car was built in Norwood, Ohio and sent to Canada when new. What is the difference between a Canada and US Trans Am in 1979? The Speedometer and Odometer are calibrated in KM per hour rather than MILES per hour. There are MILES per hour though on the Speedometer. You can change this quite easily if you wanted to but I would leave it. You can tell how fast you are going on the speedometer in miles per hour on the gauge as well so you are not going to be getting any speeding tickets. Yes. All of my cars are numbers matching with original drive trains. Including this one. Purchased from the original owner. Heather Skippen of nearby London, Ontario. Heather bought this fine car brand new from the originating GM dealer ( Huron Motor Products of Zurich Ontario ) back in the spring of 1979. The original build sheet and GM Historical docs are in another file here on the www.birdbunker.com website. Super clean car. Well cared for. The 1979 paint was kind of crappy and just too tired to save. What is it with this 79 paint? Must have been the worst year GM had for paint? Anyhow, the big orange and red bird was cracked when acquired. In that state, the appearance was a major distraction to the car. It was the state of the big orange and red bird that required a hood repaint to attach a new bird. Just the like the hood repaint on the 1976 White car I have, there is no way then to match the rest of the car. Impossible. So, the car had to be painted entirely for it to look proper. You know when it is time to leave a car alone and you know when it is the right time to paint a car. This car was better off painted. The decision was made to repaint the car and reapply the original correct decals etc. and that was a smart move. The new paint and new decals on this car are simply amazing. The quality of the deep, rich black paint job like the other painted cars in the birdbunker is simply amongst the very best paint jobs there are. The black, the orange \ red decals and the bright argent snowflake wheels gets a ton of attention when moving around town. Gorgeous looking car. This car originally came with Rally II’s but was changed to the Silver Snowflakes for bling appeal. You could always go back to Rally II’s if you wanted to. The argent silver snow flake wheels look simply fantastic and they are correct for 1979 Trans Am wheel options.
What is nicest about this car is that it drives, smells, looks, handles, and sounds just like it should in 1979 with about 16,000 miles on it. This car needs nothing other than to be cleaned, loved and driven. It is that nice..... A strong running car that looks great and will go anywhere. Like a trip back in time. Yes. I know that this car is a 403 Olds and not the 400 Pontiac. Yes. I know that your 400 4-Speed car is worth more money. Many people tell me so. So what do you get when you buy this car? a.) you get a complete numbers matching, low mile 1979 Black on Black Trans Am painted back to original factory colour and decals. b.) You get a car with not just a nice new paint job... you get a car with an astounding paint job and decals professionally applied. c.) You get fairly new rubber plus 4 perfectly done snowflake rims, plus the correct Stainless caps and snowflake lug nuts. Not the cheap plastic ones that went on the 79 10th Anniversary that year. Contact Information Call or email me ( John Shaw ) about the cars. Do not call Tom please. Tom can assist you in seeing the cars since he is always there. I will discuss price and any other information that you want to know about the cars. Thank you John ----------------------------------------- John Shaw ...............

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
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.
