For Trans Am fans out there, this is a really nice and unusual car. So much can be said, it is hard to know where to start. A bit of history first:
- This car has spent its whole life in Arizona. It was delivered here when new and it has remained in the desert so no issues with rust with this one. I am the third owner. The previous owner was a garage owner and mechanic. This was his wife's car and he decided to restore it. I will share with you what I know from what I have been told by him. The body was removed from the chassis and was painted by a real pro. This was probably twenty years ago but the paint job today looks amazing, except for a couple of little nicks. Everyone who sees this car always ask how long ago it was painted. When I got the car it had been sitting in a garage for the better part of those twenty year. I washed it and hand polished it a couple of times and the shine is really spectacular.
He also rebuilt the engine and Transmission. I was told that not one internal component of that engine rebuilt was stock. I can believe it because this engine runs very strong with incredible smoothness. The transmission is a TCI high performance transmission with a B&M Shifter. The car will easily spin its wheels even in reverse! The engine and transmission combo has less than 1000 miles since the rebuilt, even though it took place a long time ago. The car just sat in a garage waiting to be finished.
So all that was done before I got the car. As good as a mechanic the previous owner was, he hated interior work. As a result the inside needed a lot of attention. That is when I came in.
I pulled everything out of the car and we proceeded with insulating and sound deadening the interior. We re-upholstered the original seats and bolstered the front seats for better cornering compared to the stock flat seats. They are extremely comfortable and keep you planted pretty well. Everything inside is custom made. Check out the Bird on the headliner, the diamond stitched suede inserts on the seats with matching gear shift boot and custom door panels. This is definitely not a stock interior. New carpet with matching floor mats, the dashboard was also covered with hand stitched vinyl to match the rest of the car. All the plastic pieces elsewhere were also covered with vinyl for a classier look.
The original stereo system was obsolete. I installed a Clarion single disc CD player with I-Pod connection and bluetooth. There are two large amplifiers custom fitted in the trunk along with a single 12 inch woofer. Up front, there are two round speakers, two tweeters under the dash and two hidden 6X9 behind the back seats. The sound system is crisp and powerful.
The latest addition to the car was a complete new dual exhaust system with two Flowmaster Series 44 Original muffler and brand new Trans Am chrome tips. The sound is absolutely addicting.
The suspension was also upgraded by the previous owner. The car has a posi-traction limited slip differential rear end, KYB shocks and upgraded suspension hardware. The gas tank was also replaced when the body was re-assembled.
This is a very nice car and one everyone comments on. It will be sorely missed.
Serious inquiries only. If you need more info, feel free to call me directly: J-P 480-652-1600.
NOTE: THE MILEAGE STATED HERE IS WHAT IS ON THE ODOMETER, BUT IT MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. Speedometer also needs to be calibrated. It is about 25 to 35 mph off.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
