London, Kentucky, United States
SUNRISE AUTOMOTIVE LLC IS OFFERING THIS AWESOME ORIGINAL 1979 PONTIAC TRANS AM! I HAVE SHOT 304 PICTURES OF THIS BEAST TO PROVE HOW NICE AND ORIGINAL THIS T/A REALLY IS. WE ACQUIRED THIS CAR A COUPLE OF YEARS WITH INTENTIONS OF RESTORING IT, BUT CUSTOMER CARS COME FIRST. THIS IS 1 of 2485 HARDTOPS BUILT HAVING THE DESIRABLE L78 PONTIAC 400 COMPLEMENTED BY BORG WARNER SUPER T-10 TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ALSO ONE YEAR ONLY COLOR (CODE 69 HERITAGE BROWN). THIS CAR WAS SPECIAL ORDERED (REFER TO BUILD SHEET) AND SOLD NEW AT SPARLIN PONTIAC GMC BUICK IN PURCELL OKLAHOMA. THIS T/A WAS BUILT AT THE VAN NUYS CALIFORNIA PLANT ON (03 E) WHICH WAS THE 5th WEEK OF MARCH OF 1979 AND IN TRANSIT ON MARCH 30th. (REFER TO BUILD SHEET AND COWL TAG). VAN NUYS CARS WERE PAINTED WITH WATERBORNE PAINT WHEREAS NORWOOD OHIO CAR WERE PAINTED WITH LACQUER. CALIFORNIA WAS VERY STRINGENT BACK THEN WITH POLLUTION. THERE IS A "W" STAMPED ON THE COWL TAG THAT DENOTES A WATERBORNE PAINTED CAR. THIS BROWN BEAST RETAINS 90% OF IT'S ORIGINAL PAINT WITH EXCEPTION OF THE REAR BUMPER. THE PAINT IS EXTREMELY THIN WITH DINGS AND BRUISES AS SEEN IN THE PICTURES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HONEST CAR WITHOUT ANY COVER UPS!

I REMOVED THE CARPET TO REVEAL ALL THE ISSUES. EVERYTHING ELSE IS EXCELLENT! THIS IS A NUMBERS MATCHING CAR. WE DID CHANGE THE DELUXE VINYL TO DELUXE CLOTH JUST BECAUSE THEY WERE IN BETTER CONDITION. NO HARM THERE. THE RADIO IS AFTERMARKET AND DOES NOT WORK. THE POWER WINDOWS, POWER TRUNK, LIGHTS AND GAUGES OPERATE AS THE SHOULD. I BELIEVE THE A/C WILL WORK WITH A BELT AND A SHOT OF FREON. I'M GOING TO GET THAT WORKING. THE TIRES ARE THE OLD GOODYEAR EAGLE GTs THAT HAVE SEEN BETTER DAYS. THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND REAR END OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD WITH NO KNOWN ISSUES. THE CLUTCH IS HEAVY BUT SMOOTH AND GRIPS GOOD. THE ORIGINAL BOOKS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ARE IN THE GLOVE BOX.

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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
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.
