1979 Pontiac Trans Am Special Edition WS6 Y84 T-TOP Original window sticker, wheels, and most other parts. Huge pile of receipts....... I bought this car in an unrestored very good condition and restored it over the last 7 years with my kids. I have kept all the original parts. It has Global West and Hotchkis suspension parts, frame connectors, 3.42 posi rear, new gas tank, original seat covers and dash. I put a 1969 428 4 bolt engine built by Butler Performance in TN (525HP / 550TQ) with all forged internals and mated to a TCI trans. We fixed all the rust in the t-tops, body, and undercarriage. Hate to see this go but circumstances force sale. Let me know if you have any questions, I will be posting more and more as it comes to mind. Window Sticker Options: (I looked for this car for almost two years before purchasing. I think it was the most highly optioned one I came across.) Body Side Molding 428 ENGINE PARTS: Ross Pistons 4.181 x 1.295 (2.5" x .990" Pin) 428 Grams! Custom Stereo: (I wanted a factory looking system, but one that would blow your doors off) I mounted a dual Pioneer speaker under the front dash, two 6x9's in the rear using the original speaker covers, custom built a subwoofer so the T-Tops would still fit in the trunk. Used a Kicker 5 channel amp to push the whole thing. Keeping the factory radio (installed but not hooked up) really adds to the charm. Besides, who wants to cut the dash? That was one of the first things I looked for when I was buying it and would not do it because you can not get that originality back. OTHER FEATURES: Solid Body Mount Kit PARTS ON ORIGINAL 403 ENGINE: Pontiac #5 heads STILL TO DO: Heater Core |

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.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
