I am the second owner of this vehicle and purchased it in 1982. It has always been garage kept and has never been subjected to the elements. Only on occasion has this car seen the rain due to forecast errors. I have loved this car and taken care of it over half of my life. It has always been adult driven by a non smoker. This is a true survivor, with the original motor, transmission, and interior. When I purchased the car in the 80's, I had part of the car painted due to scratches, but the vehicle was never wrecked or damaged. The interior has no burns or rips, and has normal wear.When I purchased the trans am, it had approximately 32,000 miles, and although I have put 30,000+- miles on it since then, I have only driven it less than 1000 miles in the past 15 years.
I do have the full set of factory wheels that came with the car, that will be included with the purchase. I have attached a photo of one of them to indicate the style.
I replaced the turbo back in the mid 90's, but am having trouble locating the paperwork to verify the date. It was repaired locally, but the parts were from GM. I have not had issues since. The motor was not touched other than the turbo. NUMBERS MATCHING. I have repaired small items along the way such as interior light, door handle, etc, but 99%+- is all original.
I will not ship, hold, or store the car after the sale. A non refundable deposit of $500.00 must be received within 48 hours of the end of auction, and full payment must be received within 7 days of end of auction. There is a bank near my house, and we will meet there to exchange title for full payment. Cash is the most reliable, but my bank will have to accept any form of payment, other than cash. You will be responsible for hauling, loading or shipping the vehicle. Although I am not hiding anything and due to this being a 33+ year old car, there will be no warranty given or implied. Please read the bidding instructions carefully.
I encourage you to ask questions prior to bidding and you will receive honest answers. I hope that it is purchased by someone who has taken care of it as well as I have. I never seem to drive it much and I plan to purchase a larger fishing boat after the sale.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
