1975 Pontiac Trans Am on 2040-cars
Troy, North Carolina, United States
I have for sale my 1975 trans am 455 high performance. It is not numbersmatching but is put together with select high performance components to enhancethe power output. Don't let looks fool you. I bought it from the originalowner who had put a round port HO 455 race engine in it not long after he boughtit new.. It was taken out and now has a balanced and blueprinted 455 highperformance engine with 1971 #96 gto heads( 9.0 compression on a 455) stockwould be 7.6 compression and a1973 gto turbo 400 transmission with a workingdownshift switch on gas pedal like the 73-74 super duty. Stock 1975's wouldhave a turbo 350 with kick down cable. The Super Duty engine was rated at 290hp,actual is about 370hp. This engine has over 400hp. SD 1/4 mile stock was 13.5.This car can do a 12 second 1/4 mile. If you know anything about 75 transam's, the engines were weak(185hp for 400ic to 200hp for 455ci) .This carhas 390 gears (256 gears were stock).The engine, transmission, and rear end havebeen built with high quality parts. I changed the oil and bolted MT slicks on itjust to see the shift points in drive. It chirped the slicks from first tosecond at 5400rpm and shifted into third at 5400pm. Perfect! It has no leaks,squeaks, knocks, or whines. Oil pressure is around 80 psi cold. Hot is 25 to 30psi at idle with manual gauge inside car. The car looks factory stock under thehood with stock intake and quadrajet and out side with rally 2 wheels all round.You can set the choke, turn the key and it fires right up like from the factory.Everything is there to hook up the AC. The compressor is not shown but it goeswith the car. It does have a brand new aluminum radiator, starter, alternator,horns, master cylinder, wind shield wash

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
