Trans Am, "z" Code, T-tops, Pro Street, Built Engine, Drives Great, Fast!! on 2040-cars
Lusby, Maryland, United States

This is a beautiful 1978 t-top Trans Am, body is amazing!! Look at the pictures, all wheel well edges are still sharp and the underside is clean. Previous owner said it's the matching numbers 400 but I can't say for sure, so I've set the reserve as though it's not. I took a picture of the engine code from just under the passenger side head but I can't decode it anywhere, it looks more similar to a 455 code though, also the heads have a 5G casting on them which a quick search suggests 455 too. Whatever it is it runs strong with long tube headers and true dual exhaust, small cam, edelbrock intake, after market distributor. Automatic transmission shifts great (original shifter is in the trunk) and has a tranny cooler. Rear suspension has traction bars installed, someone was definitely building a mild pro street. Brakes are good. Lights, blinkers, wipers all work. Windshield is being replaced tomorrow, it has a crack you can't see in the pic. Heater hoses are looped back into engine so no heat right now, original AC car but no compressor anymore, radio not working but 6x9 speakers are installed in rear valance. I'll post more interior pics tomorrow, front seats are nice but not original,sorry about the garage pics but there is bad weather right now, I'll take better outdoor pics if it clears up. Paint is good. I took a quick buffer to it and shined up nice, a real buff job would make it real good. T-tops work great and don't leak, tires are great, new alternator and starter. Car is a blast to drive!! Tires are great, 205's in the front 225's in the rear. Reserve is very low!!! Before the auction ends please ask any questions you want, ask for pictures, come see it, bring a mechanic, I have nothing to hide! After the auction ends is not the time for that. Click the "shipping and payments" tab above to see what it would cost to get the Trans Am brought to you! I have tested the car and found no mechanical issues, however I will not tell you you can drive it anywhere, that's up to you. Recommend hauling. If you'd like to talk to me, send a message with your number and I'll call you. DATA PLATE: 78 2FS87 N 270908 74B A51 11L 11U 05D A31 WS4 CA1 9704?7 On Mar-17-14 at 16:13:17 PDT, seller added the following information: I've added more pictures but ebay will only let me put 24 so if you would like more send me a message with what you want to see and I'll send them to you privately. I put a picture of a little bubble starting, there are 3 or 4 of those but that is the worst. Windows go up and down smoothly, doors open and close flush (drivers door does sag a touch when you open it, but not enough to effect the opening or closing of it). Back right overhead seatbelt doesn't retract. Aftermarket Tach pictured is not hooked up. The seats in there are electric but not hooked up yet. These are things I noticed today when really trying to nit pick. |

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
