1979 Trans Am 10th Anniversary

I have owned this car for about 7 or 8 years now. I originally bought the car from a Texas pawn shop. The shop told me the original owner traded the car for something there at the shop and it was a smallish town as everyone was familiar with the car. This is the original miles on the car. Everything is original on the car and the motor has never been removed from the car. I have many Trans Ams and the time has come for me to sell one or two of them. They are all kept in a garage at my house and I have probably put less than 1000 miles on this car in the time I have owned it. I will describe the car as accurately as I can. I have sold many cars on eBay and have not had a problem with the buyers expectations of the car based on my description.

Exterior- the exterior has been reprinted at some point before I bought the car. The paint job has held up fine since I have had it. In 8 years it has not deteriorated much so I assume the paint job is decent quality. It is not perfect as there are nicks, scrapes and scratches. Nothing major, probably an 8 out of 10 quality. Not show quality but a very good driver quality. I have just had the wheels completely refinished in base coat clear coat paint and the tires are BRAND NEW. The T-tops still have the storage bags and are in great condition and so are all the seals and weatherstrip. It looks like they replaced them when they painted it. The passenger side front grill cracked and a piece is missing (should be able to see in pictures). The other side did the same thing about 4 years ago and I replaced it. Just haven't gotten around to ordering this side yet. All the lights work and look good with no yellowing or cracks. All the glass is good and I had the power antenna replaced for the factory 8-track so it would go up and down as the factory designed.

Interior- I had the interior done after buying the car and can provide reciepts for new door panels, headliner and carpet. The seats have the original silver leather and don't have any fading, cracks or tears. I replaced the console lid and dyed it but the silver dye is starting to come off in a small area (may be able to see in pics?). All the lights, horn, gauges, windows, heat, defrost, seat belts, radio and everything else works on the car. When I got the car I had it charged with R12 as it had not been converted to the new freon yet and it blew good and cold. Over the years it has leaked out and I never had it converted to R134 and never found any more R12 to charge it with. The interior is overall in great condition and I would rate it a 9 or 9.5 out of 10

Drivetrain- The drivetrain is original to the car. The motor has never been out of the car and it still shows its factory blue paint well. You can see a little oil starting to leak from the back of the drivers valve cover but it never leaves and visible oil on the garage floor. It still starts right up and runs like I imagine it did from the factory with no noises or smoking at all. When I got the car I went through it completely and replaced all the fluids, belts, brakes, and hoses. The transmission is also the original however I did have it out of the car. One day I went out to the garage and noticed a puddle of transmission fluid under the car so I took it in for repair. It was the front pump seal that was leaking so I had it replaced. He said the transmission had never been out of the car and that the clutches looked a little dark so I told him to replace whatever it needed even though it had always shifted perfectly and still does. There is no shift kit or converter in this car so it has a factory feel and goes in and out of all the gears easily. I have not taken this car on any longer than an hour or so trip, but have never had a problem starting, driving or operating this car in any way.

If you have any questions please let me know. I'm sure I have left something out or forgotten something and I will update the listing as these things come to mind.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
