1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l 400 Automatic on 2040-cars
Rancho Cucamonga, California, United States
|
1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a running driving project car. It has the numbers matching 400 still in the car (not the 403 so it's a 49 state car), and it appears the rest of the drivetrain is original to the car as well. This car has been resto-modded a bit as you can see by the "Classic" Cragar weld wheels and a few other cues. It has the 6X heads and an aluminum intake-don't know if it's an original Pontiac piece or not. There is a Holley dual feed carburetor as well. It has a posi rear end, my research shows it should be a 3.23 or 3.42 since it is not an A/C but a heater only car.There are also headers and glasspacks with short tailpipes. It has a painless type aftermarket wiring harness with blade type fuses. It may have been a power window car, as there are switches in the door panels and a remote mirror. It is overall pretty solid, it will need patch panels in both rear quarters in front of and behind the rear wheels, and the outside corners of the floorpans as well as ther rear corners of the trunk pan and the drop panel behind the bumper. Most of the interior is present, but will need a headliner and to be reupholstered. The subframe and rear frame rails have some surface rust but nothing deep, should clean up ok. The car spent the last few years with a military man on base in Oceanside, CA and it has a clear Florida title. It does not have the California emissions so it was never titled here. I am representing this as a car in need of total restoration, but a good starting point for someone. I have no idea what the total mileage is. It will need at the very least tuning and a safety check. The transmission has a leak, probably from around the dipstick tube as there is no upper support. I have driven it around the block a couple times but that's the extent of it. Look closely at the pictures and bid away..Please message me if you have any more questions. Car is advertised locally as well, and listing will be removed if cash shows up at my door. Thanks, Steve

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.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
