1979 TRANS AM, BLACK AND GOLD SPECIAL EDITION, 110,000 MILES, T-TOPS, AUTOMATIC, ORIGINAL GOLD SNOWFLAKE WHEELS, 400 PONTIAC ENGINE. RUNS AWESOME! OR SHOULD I SAY, LIKE A SCALDED DOG!!!
THE CAR ORIGINALLY CAME WITH A 305 ENGINE AND THE ORIGINAL OWNER THOUGHT IT WAS TOO SLOW AND CHANGED IT WITH A 400 PONTIAC . SHE IS VERY FAST!

SHE IS A TRUE HEAD TURNER EVERY WHERE SHE GOES!!! BESIDES, ANYONE CAN BUY A NEW CAMARO, HOW DIFFERENT IS THAT? EVERYONE AND HIS BROTHER HAS ONE OF THOSE..HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WITH ONE OF THESE? SHE WILL GO UP IN VALUE EVERYDAY! It is rare to find one of these car that is originally black and gold and this one is!

PAINT JOB IS ONE YEAR OLD (Not perfect but looks pretty good) It was a $5,000.00 paint job.
TIRES ARE FAIRLY NEW ALSO
NEW DECALS
TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT LAST SUMMER
NEW ALUMINUM RADIATOR
NEW DASH

NEW SONY 6X9 SPEAKERS IN THE BACK WINDOW (1200 WATT SONY XPLODE AMP IN THE TRUNK)

NEW CARPET just to name some of the items.

NO RUST OR BONDO! COMES WITH PHS PAPERWORK ON THE CAR, ALSO, I AM INCLUDING SOME EXTRA TAILLIGHTS, AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR PART FOR THE CAR( the car originally came with air but the parts under the hood are not installed) I also bought the paint to touch up the engine and the gold on the wheels, you can have that too. I will also throw in another stereo (A NICE JVC) with the car. The one in it, sounds descent because of the subwoofer and amp in the trunk but will sound better with the nicer stereo i will include. I could just never bring myself to cut the dash for the new stereo. I AM ALSO INCLUDING A NEW FUEL PUMP I BOUGHT BUT NEVER NEEDED. It has original trans am floor mats that sell for over a hundred bucks on ebay by themselves.

JUST SPENT OVER $2000 BUCKS ON IT GETTING A WINDOW REPLACED, TRANSMISSION REBUILT ABOUT YEAR AGO AND SOME NEW DECALS .

NOW FOR THE BAD.....I WILL LIST EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF THAT THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE PERFECT AND CAR SHOW READY.
ALL MAJOR WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE TO THIS CAR. I HAVE SPENT OVER $17,000 TOTAL ON IT, AND SHE IS VERY RELIABLE!!!!!

seatbelts are kinda in poor condition and in need of repair, or just replace with new ones.
front drivers seat is coming apart at the seams
horn doesnt blow (dont need a horn if you have antique tags, which i do)
temp and oil guage doesnt work (fuel, speedometer and tach works tho)
the brakes need to be bled i think (car still stops pretty good tho)
the wheels look good from a distance, but could use some polishing
engine needs to be repainted to be in show condition
the heater doesn't work (i think its something simple)

passenger door is sticking and sometimes wont open from the inside

New dash put on, but the glue sent with it didn't hold it down so it needs to come off and be reglued with stronger glue.

The bumpers are not metal so therefore should've been prepped better, due to some cracking in the paint. Not bad enough to ruin the looks of this beautiful car.

The car has power windows with a new switch installed and a new passenger window motor put in. The window stopped rolling down about 2 days after it was installed. I think its a bad connection but haven't had time to take door panel off and research it.

So all that being said, don't buy this car if you expect it to be perfect. It needs some tweaking to be perfect but all MAJOR WORK HAS BEEN DONE! It is cold natured when you first start it, but after that it runs excellent and i would drive it to California and back! It is very reliable! I know i will regret the sell of this car later, but right now i really need the money.

According to Nada bluebook value system, my car qualifies for the average retail price which is $20,520.00 at present time. The value is steadily going up on this car and will continue to climb. Pontiacs are not made anymore and this is a highly collectible car!

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If 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.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
