I am selling my recently-restored 1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Car was purchased in June of 2012. It has the original 305 V8 with 190-195 compression on all cylinders. It runs strong. It also has the original 700R4 auto tranny which shifts smoothly. The car runs and drives great, and I recently had the A/C system recharged and converted to 134a refrigerant gas. I've spent more than $15k restoring the car, and this is a short list of what I've done to date...
and much, much more. When I purchased the car back in 2012 (I paid $3,000 for it), I started a builder's log on the Third Gen website, featuring more than 1000 posts and hundreds of photos with details on what I did—or had done—to the car. I think that chronicle will give you a good understanding of all the time and money I invested in this project. So, why am I selling my Trans Am? I own another T/A—a 1989 Turbo—which I would like to restore, so this one has to go, as I do not have the room to store both while I work on my '89. Since I got the '84, it has been kept garaged and it has not seen rain. I have taken excellent care of this car. Of course I hope the new owner will love it and care for it just as much. Trans Ams of this vintage are hard to find in nice condition, and this one is ready to be driven to the next car show. Items that still need attention include the fuel gauge (not working), and the power window switches sometimes stick, even though they are brand new replacement parts. Don't let this one get away. I am offering the car locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if I sell it to a Central Florida buyer. (I live in Orange City, between Orlando and Daytona Beach). — Auction ends this Sunday at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET) — — LOW RESERVE PRICE — Someone's going to own this car this weekend, but if you want insure you'll be that lucky person, I have set a more-than-fair Buy It Now price, which gives you the opportunity to secure the purchase of this car immediately. You won't be able to restore a 1984 Trans Am, to this level, for less money than my Buy It Now price. To give you a basic example of what went into this car and the attention to detail, I spent close to $500 just having the steering wheel, shifter, and e-brake knobs restored! I know that I am totally upside-down on this one, and—as they say—my loss is your gain. But as long as you are a 3rd generation Pontiac Trans Am lover, and you want to have a good car to enjoy for years to come, I am okay with that. Thank you for your interest! The Small Print: Please bid ONLY if you intend to buy. Buyer must submit a $1000 PayPal deposit within 24 hours of end of auction, and buyer agrees to pay any remaining balance within 7 days of the close of the auction. Payment in full and title transfer are required before buyer can take delivery of the car. Once the transaction is complete, car must be removed within 10 days after transfer is complete. Car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, NO WARRANTY.

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
