This beautiful '82 Trans Am is in excellent original-type condition. I am the 3rd owner and it has never been driven
in the Winters and stored inside most of the time year-round. Have the original build sheet,
owner's manual, various service records, etc. to show it has been cared for very well.
This car is ready to drive & enjoy. It handles very well. All the suspension is tight and
the drivetrain is rock solid.
Recently replaced items during the last couple of years include new starter, New Radiator, & new Cruise Control Unit, Belt moldings.
140,000 miles. You will be hard-pressed to find a cleaner and better-cared-for Trans Am of this
vintage. This car has many hard to find original items and has always been kept in tact as
original besides the addition of the old style full sized Firebird decal on the hood.
The T-tops and weatherstrips are in great shape and do not leak. The dash pad has no cracks
or blemishes and the entire interior is almost perfect except for one small spot on the
driver's seat outer edge which was "patched" as you can see in the photo.
The car was repainted many years ago, I was told but it looks fantastic still with no fading or peeling areas at all, no dirt in the paint, etc. and it has a very smooth finish with little or no orange peel. Not full of bondo either. It appears to have been done very professionally
This car is very fun to drive and reliable. I have the original stereo too, if that is
something that matters to you. This is a great car for collectors!
I will try to show detailed photos of any of the imperfections on my photobucket page.

Things That need attention in order to be perfect:
1.Air conditioning compressor probably needs to be replaced. I charged it and it worked but was noisy and lost the charge so I unplugged it. All parts are still bolted on
2. Left turn signal does not cancel automatically when you finish turning.
3. Once in a while, wipers do not shut off with switch until car is shut off. Looking into that now but I would never drive it in the rain or when wipers are needed so that has not been a priority.
4. Driver's seat has small spot on outer edge that needs to be reupholstered (as shown in photos and youtube video)
These are all small items that are probably only of concern to the perfectionists but I wanted to disclose as much as possible.
Thanks!

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
