This is my 1980 Turbo TransAm that I cannot finish.  Been collecting parts for 10 years. Florida title in my name. I was trying to do my 3rd Silver TA. New wife said no more cars.   

This car has a great solid body for  a 33 year old car. Been in my garage for 12 years. Was a 301 Turbo with a A/T that ran. Now I have a 455 Pontiac engine and a 4 speed trans for it. All the machine work done at a race engine shop.  Bored 60 over and all parts balanced. New  parts are valves, springs, bearings, rings, oil pump, timming chain and gears, lifters, RamAir 3 cam, full gasket set, freeze plugs, pistons rods and rings, valve covers, air cleaner, water pump,  motor mounts, 6X heads assembled with new valves, almost everything needed to assemble the engine. Flywheel has been balance. Used aluminum 4 barrel manifold, no carb. Used oil pan. Used radiator, exhaust manifolds. A/c pump. I have 10,000 parts and you will get more parts before you leave my shop.

I have lots of new parts for the body, new lower GM grilles, front to rear SS brake line, front to tank fuel line, interior firewall padding. Boxes of used parts that have been cleaned and painted rally black for show.  Car has tilt wheel, power windows that work, power locks, power trunck latch, factory air, cruise control, t-tops with bags.Bucket seats and rear seats that do not match colors.  No radio, hood, 4 speed center console, battery, and the rearend has no rear drums and no brakes. Did have a disc brake rear end, Front disc brakes work only for moving around shop.

The body is in great shape, fenders are great, quarter panels are very good, driver door needs a lower patch panel, passenger door needs a full skin. full left and right floors needed, trunk floor also. Doors and floors is the only body work needed. Frame rails are very good. All the glass is good. Need some minor patch around the t-top channels. Has all the ground effects and spoilers. New keys.I hope someone will give this car a good home and finish.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ

Sat, Mar 4 2023

A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).
