1970 Pontiac Trans am, RAIII 400 4 barrel, TH 400 Auto, manual windows, air conditioning, tilt wheel, Polar white exterior with Lucerne blue interior, built in Norwood Ohio and lived in the Midwest all of it's life. I have owned this car for 26 years and I am the third owner. I listed the car last year but after several failed buyer attempts I decided to keep it. I have now decided to list one more time in the interest of freeing up garage space. I disassembled this car in 1991 to start a full restoration but that's where it ended. I have realized that I will probably never get back to restoring so here it is. I love this car and I sincerely hope I can sell it to someone who wants to restore it right and bring this car back to life. The world just doesn't have enough 70 TA's. Total production for 1970 was 3,196 and 1,339 Automatics which are actually rarer than 4 spds. This is also an original Air conditioning car which makes it even rarer yet.
The body has some rust issues but is pretty solid overall. The rear quarter panels have been replaced with non OEM replacements however they fit just like the originals, the rear wheelhouses have been replaced with OEM GM outer wheelhouses. The rocker panels and front subframe are solid. The hood and decklid are in great shape, the rear fiberglass tail panel is MIA and the lower tailpanel has some rust holes, The rear frame rails are rusty and the original gas tank is rusty, The doors are excellent rust free, the left fender needs a lower patch and the right fender is pretty solid, Floor pans are pretty solid with one quarter size hole on the left side and the trunk floor is pretty solid as well with a quarter size hole as well. The front radiator support is rusty. The front euro nose is great and the lower front valance is solid. There is also a small hole in the upper rear window channel and the corners of the dash support are rusty( like all of them).
The interior is nice and original.. Seats are nice, carpet is shot, headliner is very nice, dash has small repairable surface defect by left knee area, Original console is very nice, original plastic panels are nice, original gages, dash plate, chrome gage bezels, original am/fm stereo, original door panels in good shape, original formula steering wheel, It's all there.
The original block has a damaged cylinder wall but repairable, excellent #12 heads, orig. intake, shaker w/operable door, orig,carb, distributor, RA111 manifolds, wiring harness all there. Suspension is still intact and car will roll, Trans and rear end have never been out of car, 5 original rally II wheels all there, I have many new parts incl. complete decal package NIB purchased in 1991. My cell is 309-287-4963.. The car is at my home in Illinois, I will try to answer all questions and I'm open to offers.

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.
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.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
