This 78 Trans Am was built in the Van Nuys plant in CA and was born with a Pontiac 400 engine and a 4 speed transmission. The car as now a rolling chassis and is missing the engine and transmission. This car needs extensive work but is a great candidate to restore back to original or build a pro touring beast.  CLEAN TITLE in hand.

The interior is complete minus the center console, door panel and visors. The dash has some cracks on top and the carpet will need replacing.  The rear bumper is cracked on the passenger side. The tail lights, z bar linkage, radiator and cowl tag are missing. The rear end is missing the back plate and drums, see photo.     

The BAD: the fenders, hood, doors, trunk lid, and quarter panels are very rusty. The rear window gutters are rusted thru. The trunk pan has two large holes near the rear bumper mounting bolts and has several nickel size holes which were made by a drill bit, the roof has rust bubbles (cover with bondo) on both sides near the rood drip molding, the driver side floor board has a hole near the seat bolt, the rear passenger seat pans also have hole made by a drill bit. Windshield is cracked. The metal cowl and dash has rust at both ends near the pillars. SEE PHOTOS. Tags are expired.

Included in the sale you will receive:  77-81 Firebird hood, an additional gas tank, a driver door (good skin), a clean trunk lid, front nose impact bumper, extra rear seats, a 7 blade cooling fan and clutch, the upper fan shroud pieces and clutch/brakes pedals. I tried to describe the car as best as I can. If you have any other questions or would like to view the car in person; you can contact me via email or call  714 337 0776. Happy bidding and good luck.

To the winning bidder: A 500 dollar non refundable deposit will be required within 24 hours of the sale. The remaining balance can be paid in cash at the time of pick up. Sorry no checks.

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.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
