Up for auction * 1978 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird.White with white interior , auto trans , power windows, all spoilers are there , and shaker scoop , body is in pretty good condition for the age ,the previous owner had owned the car since 1988 and its been sitting in storage for the last 21 years. you can tell by looking at the stickers the car was last inspected 1992 and registered 1993.needs a restoration.21 plus years ago the original 403 cu olds went, so a Pontiac 350 used engine was put in , But that engine was a oil burner so at that time he was disgusted and put the car in storage and figured when his son got older they would do a father / son restoration. It did not happen.The engine has not run in a while, does not run now , old fuel will have to be drained from tank as well, back in the late 1980's to early 90's he had someone do some body work, it's looking alittle shabby on the drivers side rear quarter. The pictures should reflect that. The negatives are = incorrect engine needing a overhaul,some frame rot on drivers rail,no radio or rear speakers , and the sunroof and some body work which all these can be corrected. The good is it's a real Pontiac Trans am.I will answer any questions I can about this car. I want there to be no surprises. Please if you are not sure do not place a bid.( Also available, but (NOT) part of this auction is the drive train from a 1978.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
