1979 Pontiac Trans Am Ls1 on 2040-cars
Belton, Texas, United States
|
We have for auction a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am no rust Texas car. We replaced the 403 6.6 Engine with a 5.7 LS1 Engine .We used the drive train out of a late model GTO which had 8000 miles on it. This included the computer, the 4L60E overdrive tranny and the engine. We do still have the original #s matching engine and tranny which you will get with the car. I have put approx. 3000 miles on the car since the conversion so the drive train has under 12k miles on it. We did the conversion about 2 years ago and when we did we pulled the entire front clip down including the sub frame. It has new sub frame bushings, new Heidst tubular upper and lower control arms. The car had the factory 4 wheel disc brakes, we upgraded the calipers and rotors, all new pads and lines. The paint and was done about 6 years ago and was originally a brown car, interior about 5 years ago. The gold firebird on the hood was cleared over and looks great the rest of the decals were not cleared over. This is a T-top car and they are good working condition. All the factory gauges work accept the tach and speedo due to the conversion but I have always kept a Tom Tom GPS that has the speed and mileage on it. The car has had a professional tune on the computer so it runs really good, fast but still gets 20+mpg on the highway. This car is very reliable and could drive any distance. The tires are BF Goodrich and are like new less than 3000 miles on them and they are 275 60 15 on the back and 255 60 15 on the front. It has Flow master dual exhaust with no catalytic converters or O2 sensors. If you need any more pics or have any questions please don't hesitate to give us a call at 254-933-3596. |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
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.
