1991 Pontiac Firebird - Trans Am / Gta Model on 2040-cars
Prescott, Arizona, United States
This vehicle was purchased by me in Los Angeles, California from a dealer for $5,000. I bought it solely because it was in good condition, and had 66K miles on it when I bought it. It now has about 103,500 +- on it. It is the GTA model, and I do have the original build code sheet that goes with it.
I have to many projects, and not enough time to finish / restore this one. It is rust free, having spent most of it's life in Valencia, California and then Arizona after about 2003. I have replaced the A/C system (blows cold), the heater core (not a fun job), the tires have about 2K miles on them, etc, etc. New plugs, and all new ignition system parts. It was misfiring so I thought it was all those parts (about $800 worth), but it was because I didn't put premium fuel in it. I had not driven it in a while, so I did not need fuel. I put premium in and the miss went away. In my opinion the vehicle is very straight. It did get 2 small hail stone nicks on the roof, and cracked the windshield. I replaced the front window as a result of the hail damage. The rear spoiler is broken (part came off), and in my opinion the entire interior needs to be replaced. That will bring it back to where it should be. The vehicle runs and drives well. It tracks straight, doesn't pull to either side when you apply the breaks, and starts right up. It has never overheated on me, and I would describe the overall condition as "good". Not perfect, as it is a 1991. If you purchase the car, and once you come and see it, if you don't like it..we will cancel the transaction with Ebay. I will assist with shipping and might be able to deliver if your not to far away. I have a clear title in hand, and it comes with a spare set of rims (Trans Am), and lot of small parts I have bought over the years. I am open to offers, but I just turned down a $2K cash offer (a reseller). This is being sold for restoration, but can be driven daily. I have ALWAYS kept it registered and insured. That should tell you something. It is not a junker. If you have any questions, pls. feel free to contact me. Thanks for looking and have a great day. P.S. comes with a new car cover. |

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.

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.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
