Selling my 1982 Pontiac Trans Am MR MSE #195 of 500 built.

The car was built by Pontiac and then shipped to Mecham Auto in Arizona where their mechanics upgraded 500 Trans Am's for the SCCA races. Pontiac was not allowed to participate in the SCCA races unless they could build a Trans Am capable of handling the race. These Trans Am's went to the SCCA's to win!!!

The car had a pretty nice set up as far as the 80's are concerned.

Power windows/locks/antenna/mirrors/trunk release

The Recaro interior is in AMAZING shape. Especially being 30 years old. The seats hug as well as the car hugs turns with it's Koni suspension.

Mecham Racing put their personal touches with their badges on the horn, hood, rims and #195 of 500 plate.

It has cams, headers, new magnaflow cat, holley 4 bbl carb, edlebrock manifold and positrac.

Unfortunately I haven't taken it to a dyno so I'm unsure of the HP. I know it's a fun ride with that jerk into the seat feeling. Traction is great and car shifts quickly. I have never ragged the car but I'm not the first owner.

I've looked over the car as much as I could in my own garage and it has very few surface rust spots.

In the past month I've replaced a cracked plastic on the door panel, heater core/hoses/adapters, power window motor, trunk release relay, air cleaner element, antifreeze, speedometer cable and drive gear(speedometer started bouncing), all 8 or so rear tail light bulbs.

I rewired the radio to bypass the factory amp. The last owner replaced the radio with a factory "match" and crossed all the wires during the install so I've completely rewired them all correctly. The horn button also had a loose wire and that has been fixed as well.

The car does need: an armrest door (haven't looked around for that yet... wasn't a major concern for me) and some touch up paint/sanding for the small rust spots. (3 I think... each are smaller than a nickel). The rear hatch needs new shocks.... roughly $20 a piece.

All in all, this is a fun car. Rare find anymore. A piece of American history.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

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.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine 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.
