1976 Pontiac Trans Am  

 

 

1976 Pontiac Trans Am

Here is a ultra rare and unique car. This is a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am 50th Anniversary Edition car with a 455 motor and 4-speed manual transmission.

Check out my store for more great Unique and Classic Cars.

 

Make sure and check out the Video below.

 

This car is a 50th Anniversary model of Pontiac. It has the factory gold package. It came with a factory 455 engine that has been rebuilt but has never been fired over since then. This was the last year that they offered the 455 in these cars from the factory. This is the first model of the Y-84 or "declared" cars that they made. Most came with factory Hurst T-Tops but some did not and this is one of them.  

The body on this car is very straight and clean. There is no rust on this car. There is two spots on the roof where the paint peeled and there is surface rust but nothing major. There is no dents on the car. This car is in very little need of restoration especially on the outside.

The interior of this car is actually in pretty good shape. It has the black seats with the red trim. The front seats do show some wear but the back seats are in great shape. The carpet is all still here and looks great. The headliner is beautiful. It has the dark gold on the steering wheel and the matching gold trim on the dash. This was all part of the special package. This car even came with factory A/C.  

If you are looking for an ultra rare car to start or add to a collection. Or something you don't have to do much work on at all this is the car for you. This is one of the most rare cars I own and really don't want to sell it but I am selling just about everything and it just needs to go.

Options:

50th Anniversary Edition

If you don't know anything about buying cars go buy a brand new Honda Civic or a Ford focus.

Yes a 65 corvette that needs restored is super kool but you wont be pushing it to work everyday!! I describe my vehicles better than most just use common sense is my point.

Who the heck are you…….
Missoula Auto Auction is a montana based trust dealership that wholesales quality preowned vehicles to auto dealerships and to individuals. Why would we rather wholesale than retail you ask? Well, the answer is simple.
 This is not my day job I love cars that’s all there is to it and 99 percent of my stuff is just different modified rare collectible or who knows maybe I just liked it I do not really take trade ins unless it fits into the categories above I don’t take junk just because it what they had to trade in….. I source my inventory from auctions friends and 30 years of establishing networks, friends, customers, and just folks who know me and call me up with a car they saw. I just love having these jewels around. While wholesaling brings far less profit per vehicle, it allows me the luxury of being at auction 2-4 times a week and doing what I love to do buy cars I wish I didn’t have to sell any of them I have a personal collection of over 100 cars 70 of them trans ams cause that’s what I like.
Many of our first time buyers become repeat buyers, referring family and friends to us buying more cars or ordering the parts to fix up their toys. Enjoy your new investment.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When 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.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'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.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 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.
