1979 Trans Am-10th Anniversary Edition-This is a true survivor car with 40952 original miles!!!!!It has the 403 and its the automatic. It has T-tops,power windows,power locks,it has all the goodies that the anniversary edition comes with. It has not been on the road since 2004. It is a 2 owner car. The woman I got the car from bought the car in 1985-and it had 32,000 miles on it when she bought it in 85. It has been garage kept its whole life. She said the only things that were ever changed on the car were the tires,brakes and she put a casstte player and eq in it--She unfortunately tossed the original 8 track. But other that that the car is all original with no paint work or motor mods.The car runs and drives pretty good considering it hasnt been out in 10 years. It has the old gas in it and could use plugs and wires but it runs good. The interior on the car is good except the driver seat is dried out and cracked as you can see in the pics. The other seats are very good. It has the original shag style carpet that came from the factory. No rips or holes. Just needs a cleaning. The back package tray has not been cut up. All the gauges work,even the clock and lighter. The power windows are a little slow and the passenger window gets stuck sometimes, has to be the switch. also the driver side seat belt cover is broken. The t-tops do not leak. I took the car and washed it when I got it and there was no water from the tops. Under the hood is dirty but all original-The AC compressor still works too. The car has all the books and manuals and has the original t-top covers. The body on the car I would say in is very very good condition and actually the pics dont do it justice,the paint still shines and with a good buff or wax Im sure it would look great but it still has a alot of shine to it the way it sits . It has 2 tiny rust dots and a scratch on the bottom of the driver door. She told me she hit the car with her lawnmower in the garage over the years at some point. It has 100% original paint. the driver side fender paint is coming off on the top-I took the pic. and the passenger side fender has a tiny dent in it where a ladder fell on it in the garage. It also has a couple of ping dentsand a few chips in the paint here and there They are very tiny and dont even show in the pics,all in all the paint is still really really good on the car.. It appears the car was z-barted or something as it has a factory undercoating that has wore off over the years but Im assuming it helped save this car. It has a slight exhaust leak. I believe it still has most of the original exhaust components. All the original smog stuff is on the car. Nothing has been removed. The trunk is in excellent shape as are the floor boards. Even the trunk light works. It has the original spare and jack. All and all a very good survivor car but could use a resto. I didnt want to paint it or do anything to it as its only original once. I figured I would leave it up to the new owner. This woman took very good car of the car and only put 8,000 miles on it since 1985!!!!!! It needs a restoration or keep it as a survivor car-your choice--These cars are hard to find and are going up in price fast-At least the Anniversary Editions are. Thats the T/A to have!-It has all the original books and manuals. Please feel free to ask questions or if you would like additional photos please feel free to ask. I encourage you to come see the car before bidding. It is located in Elmira NY 14905. I tried to describe the car as best I can. It is a true 40,000 mile 2 owne car-Could use a resto or drive it as it sits. I am listing it at no reserve. But I do reserve the right to end the auction as it is for sale locally so until I get a bid I reserve the right to end the auction. High bidder gets the car--

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.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
