1979 Trans Am - “Awesome Classic”- Atlantis Blue - Muscle Car
Up for sale we have a “Primo Investment” and “Excellent Fun Running” 1979 Pontiac Trans Am classic muscle car; In very good condition inside and out. Under the hood it has original 403 V-8 and automatic transmission with 59,100 original miles to the best of my knowledge. Car runs quiet (LOL) meaning no rattles or window air leaks.
It has a straight body with consistent space gaps, both doors, hood and trunk open and close smoothly with no concerns. Appears to have “no body work”, exterior paint / gold decals (and hood eagle) in very good shape with a few minor paint chips. Exterior paint is Atlantis Blue and looks very sharp.
The Interior has a factory fresh look and feel where the seats, console, doors, dash, headliner, and carpet are in very good shape. It has the original factory gauges, speedometer, tachometer, oil gauge, etc. all in good working order - clock works but not like a Swiss watch. The power windows, tilt, and interior/exterior lights all work, and A/C blows cool, and heater heats up pretty good, front defrost, and rear electric defroster / & lighted switch work well. Power locks work but in slow motion. It does not have any radio, but has dual rear speakers. I bought the car with parking brake not working, wipers work but fluid spray needs work. It has the (62X) Camel matching interior - great shape.
This is a high end quality Trans Am - “not” a 100 point show car but it is an awesome looker with that “Sweet Hot Purr - Wow Wow” with the car's sinister "T/A-6.6" branded shaker hood, rear and front spoilers in very good shape, side cooling ports, and honeycomb silver-gold snowflake aluminum WS6 15 by 7 wheels with the Trans Am 'gold bird' center caps. Tires are “near new” P245/60 R15. It has power front and rear disc brakes, power steering, and dual side splitting SST exhaust pipes.
This car was made in Van Nuys, CA with VIN # 2W87K9L178,256 - it runs and idles near perfect, and shifts like it should. It runs cool, charges correctly, and leaves “no” leaking fluids. The frame, floor pans, and exhaust are solid and clean, very little to no rust on 98% of this car, there are a couple spots in rear/undercarriage, and half dollar rust hole on the catalytic converter.
It has an immaculate trunk space and door with space saving spare tire and wheel. I have owned the car for 3 1/2 years and has been garage kept by me, and appears it was very well kept in it’s history. I bought the car for an investment and hardly drove it, but to keep it running properly. This car will make a very happy buyer, I am not selling it because I don’t love the car, but because I want to move on to other financial desires.
January 2013 I was starting and running car in driveway, noticed a little fluid leakage, and speedometer jumping around not working like it always does then it quit working, I took car to Precision Tune Auto care, the fluid leakage was brake fluid, had rear brake wheel cylinders replaced, rear brake shoes replaced, brake line and master cylinder flushed and replaced with new. Had the oil and filter changed, lubed, the oil dipstick tube was faulty and I had them replace it with a new one, speedometer was checked out and they replaced the speedometer gear retainer, and housing seals. the cable was fine. The car was driven about 20 miles with the speedometer not functioning right. Also had a headlight changed out, and new belts were also put on. I had also bought a new battery about 6 months ago. Car has been very well cared for and kept up and will make a very good buy.

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.
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."
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
