Purlear, North Carolina, United States

Up for auction is my very nice 1999 Pontiac Trans Am. I have owned this car since around 2001 and it has been garaged the whole time and is evident by its condition. By being a weekend or special occasion driven only car, it has only 29113 actual miles! I really hate to part with this car but I need the room in the garage and never get time to drive it. There probably will never be any more Firebirds built and you see very few on the road which is another reason that makes it so hard to let it go. The body style of this car is unmistakable and turns heads everywhere. The inside of the car is very clean and has gray leather seats with power driver side, the monsoon stereo system with CD player. The car is blast to drive an sounds awesome with the mods I have done. This Trans Am has not been abused and has never been on the the drag strip! The cam and mods make this car pull hard and fast. The idle sounds awesome and has one of the best sounds of any of the LS1 cams. I upgraded the valvetrain accordingly to handle the extra lift and duration of the cam. I have always ran Castrol full synthetic motor oil . Please see the video to hear this beast idle. The only negatives on this car is the rebuilt title due to the front clip being replaced. The car was repaired with attention to detail. Even the engine bay was clear coated as the factory does not do this. I also replaced the standard Tans Am hood with a lightweight fiberglass Ram Air hood which looks great! The driver and passenger air bags were not replaced but the covers are there and looks factory. I personally did not want to replace them and it saves weight as well. There are very few chips or scratches on this car since it has always been garaged. It will eventually need one headlight motor (about $100). The headlight motors are bad for stripping the gear inside them. It works but makes a noise as the light goes up or down. Look at the photos carefully as I have tried to photo any chips or scratches as well. I also photo'd the Goodyear tires which are also in good shape. I am starting the auction with a low bid and my reserve is very reasonable as I am taking in account the low miles and great condition of this car but also the previously repaired damage. Please message me with any questions you may have or if you would like any additional pictures. Here is a list of the mods:
GM Performance parts "ASA" racing camshaft
Manley valve springs
Manley push rods
Manley titanium retainers
Self ported throttle body
NGK spark plugs
Texas Speed clear intake lid
Texas Speed rumbler exhaust with Ractive black chrome tips
PCM tuning by PCM for less

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
