I have for sale a VERY SOLID RUST FREE 1979 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am. It is equipped with it's original 403 Olds motor and Turbo 350 Transmission. Car runs nice, but original carb needs to be rebuilt. I got it running with a friends carb and that DOES NOT go with the car. The car is loud at the moment, because it was missing exhaust manifolds when i bought it. I believe the previous owner was going to put headers on it and never did. I put the correct manifolds on it, but they are not hooked up to the exhaust, which is missing the downpipes. She moves around and drives, but there are no brakes at the moment. Motor looks to have been rebuilt, but i have no paperwork to verify. Was painted, so i'm assuming the motor was pulled at some point.
The previous owner had the car stripped down and covered it in a crappy primer, which is why you see surface rust. I assure you, there is no rot through that i can see on this car. Everything is solid. I have video's of the car running along with video of me under the car and walking around it. I can email them to interested bidders.
The interior of the car is nice. The dash is UNCRACKED. Floors are solid. Has the original radio that works. The interior panels are driver quality. Needs new carpet if you want it to be a show car. Seats need to be recovered. Steering wheel is very nice. Has tilt column with cruise control (unsure if it works, never tested it).
She needs a full restoration, but think of all the time and money that will be saved due to the condition of the body!! These are hard to find, and even harder to find (especially around here) in this condition. Buyer is responsible for shipping, but i will assist the best as i can. Please ask ?'s before you bid. Serious bidders only. Thanks and Good Luck!!

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob 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.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
