1979 Trans Am Original Color Nocturne Blue with Gold Graphics. This car has been restored at some point and time. The car has been repainted its original color with correct gold graphics. Patch panels were welded in the floor boards with rubberized undercoating applied. It was originally an Olds. 403 but someone installed a rebuilt Pontiac 400. I bought the car in July 2012 and it developed a rod knock. I am mechanically inclined so I removed the engine and found it to be very clean. I installed a remanufactured crankshaft with new 20/20 bearings. The pistons are forged stamped L2262F30 Sealed Power 030 over. While I had it apart I checked the camshaft specs with a digtal micrometer. All the lobes were good and it is a Competition Cam grind 228 degrees duration and .477 lift. I used Felpro gaskets and put the engine back together. The block is a 78 400 with 6X heads and 73 intake with the full size carburetion base openings and EGR blocked. My father rebuilds Q-Jets and provided me with a 78 Q-Jet that was completely cleaned dyed and plated and performance rebuilt. This engine starts idles and accelerates as perfect as it gets. The transmission shifts fine ( I did change the fluid) appears to be stock toque converter, no shift kit. Driveshaft u-joints have been replaced at some point because they have lube fittiings. The posi traction rear end has 3.73 gears. I know this because I counted the teeth when I changed the fluid. The exterior paint is in great shape. Has a few small knicks scratches that were touched up with correct paint. Only noticeable if you are looking closely for imperfections. Has small rust bubble under paint on hood and right rear quarter panel. Again not noticeable until looking closely. Interior is in very good condition as you can see by pictures. Options on this car are as follows: Power windows Power locks Power steering Power antenna Tilt wheel Rear defogger WS6 suspension with 8" snowflakes in great shape T-Tops with the original bags. Vehicle also has dual exhaust with headers. A/C has been removed power antenna has been unplugged behind glove box because motor kept running. The antenna stays up and radio works fine. Power door locks work intermittently. All other power options work fine. That is all I can think of to mention. If you have any questions my email is Brzibart@gmail.com or can call or text me at 502-235-4813 my name is Brian. Please don't bid if you don't have cash. I am selling this car and using the money to restore a 79 Bandit T/A in case any one wondered. Thanks for bidding and good luck.
The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction at any time.
This car is sold as is and has no warranty!

'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.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
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.
