A 1978 Trans Am, including history and documentation (Leader Automotive, George DeLorean).

It is finished in original paint, Mayan Red, original black velour custom interior, power windows, tilt, AM/FM stereo radio, electric rear window defroster, and WS6 special performance package, all in excellent condition.

Now things change.

The original owner had special ordered the special WS6 package car and had it shipped to Detroit, MI. From there it
was sent to Troy, MI. All this was done with the full intent of having the original engine removed and having
Leader Automotive build a custom built Pontiac engine. Within a week of receiving the car, he took it to Leader
Automotive and had it turned into a sleeper. The outside maintained its original appearance but a monster custom
engine underneath, designed and built by George Delorean, brother of John DeLorean of Pontiac Motors. George
Delorean is the renowned, legendary engine builder that owned Leader Automotive.

George Delorean, pulled the Pontiac 400 and replaced it with a custom built 428 block with RAIV heads (stamped 7F6)
and a Holley Street Dominator manifold, Holley carburetor, Round Port Hooker Headers (Super Comp) with 2" primary,
3.5 collection, were installed with a free flow exhaust system. The original TH350 transmission was pulled a TH400,
with a shift kit, was installed. As well as, a 3000RPM, Stall Converter, and additional external oil cooler. The
rear end was changed from a 323 post tract to a 410 gears set. In the beginning, the car had a solid lift cam but
was later changed to a hydraulic lifter to provide better driving ability.

It is wild the way we happen to come across this car because it was really just sheer chance, as we weren’t even
remotely looking. To find a car that is in such fantastic condition, originality preserved, unheard of low mileage,
with a custom built George DeLorean engine…. Just wow! Other than the drive train, the car is in original and
pristine condition. The car was originally under coated and also has the Ziebart treatment. Now due to the car
being stored for over 25 years it had developed some oil seal and gasket leaks, so the engine had to be pulled. We
cleaned up the engine bay and degreased it. While the engine was out we cleaned and degreased the engine, replaced
the gaskets and seals, then painted the engine the correct Pontiac blue. We cleaned and polished the original
installed Moroso valve covers and oil pan. Also we replaced the exhaust, as it had seen its days sitting for 25
plus years, and the headers, due to one being damaged. Thanks for looking.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
