 Let me give you a little history on the car and myself. I am sure that I will not remember everything but I wont BS you about anything. I want the buyer to know exactly what he will be recieving, If you have any questions please email me. Now, This car was a storage/Barn find. It was found in storage somewhere in Flordia and shortly fell into the hands of a classic car dealer. They put some light work into it just to get it looking good. I had purchased it and had it shipped to me in Biloxi, MS. The car came with no paper work and was in need of a serious tune-up. I drove the car as a daily driver for about 2 months until I PCSed to Goldsboro, NC to my new base. I then was able to keep it stored and cared for properly. I took the car to a very reputable classic car restoration shop(Trinity Auto) and had the guys there rebuild the carburetor and adjust the timing. The car drove cross country when I moved here and I would not hesitate to take her cross country again, The motor is solid! Additionally the body of the car while not perfect, is in very good condition. The front bumper has a small paint chip and there are some very small/ barely noticeable blemishes/chips. There is no serious body work needed at all.  But, The car is not perfect and it does have some issues. It leaks a very minimal amount of oil, a couple drops on the garage floor a month. It comes from the drain pan gasket and I have not replaced it. When I purchased the car it had the heater core bypassed. I hooked it up just to find the obvious, Yes it needs a new heater core. The car has a issue with the headlights and dome light. The dim's will only come on if the brights are on. And the dome light will not turn off. Also, it needs a new shift knob. Please keep in mind I have the dash off(not the entire dash, just the shiny metal part) because I was working on the electrical and it will be sold that way unless you email me and ask for me to put it back on. When looking at the pictures please keep in mind that those pictures were taken after a professional detail of the entire car and it may not be that spotless when you receive it.  Besides these problems it is a Numbers matching car and as far as I can tell almost everything on the car is original. It has less than 40,000 Original Miles and has treated me very well. You may love the car as-is but if not, it will not take much work to get it where you want. You may ask why I am selling the car. I need a truck. I am a new home owner and I cant keep relying on friends and neighbors. I truly do love the car and I am in no hurry to sell it so please do not lowball me.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
