Low Reserve, Bid only to Buy! Car is going to sell!

One owner 78 Trans am. Have PHS documented papers from the Pontiac historic society . Sold new right here in Missoula MT.

Has Factory High Performance Pontiac 400 Numbers matching engine with W72 option ( high proformace engine with more horse power option). Very Rare. Factory Hurst shifter and Borg-warner T-10 4-Speed Manual transmission. Deluxe Interior package with power windows. Interior is way above average. No cracks in the dash, No rips in the deluxe cloth seats. Very nice for how old it is. Could use original carpet replaced. Could use carb adjustment. Windows need some attention to go all the way down. Paint is flaking off in spots. Only rust on car is drivers quarter and passenger side fender on the bottoms. Very Solid car otherwise. Solid floors, trunk, Rear valance behind gas tank and next to rear bumper. No rust in passenger quarter or driver side fender. Everything seems to work and drives very nice. Does not drip oil on garage floor. Engine sounds extremely healthy. The owner I bought it from said motor has not been out of car but you can hear that the cam is not stock. sounds like alot more power then stock so maybe work on engine was done in the car. I am not sure other than it does not sound stock and is very clean. I puchased the car from the son of the dad that bought it new and passed away a few months ago. Son did not know too much other then it was his baby and well cared for. CD player works but I removed wiring after I bought it and planned on rewiring it when I replaced the carpet. So , It still needs wired up.

This is a rare and desirable car with very nice options. Black interior and silver platinum paint. Nice wheels and tires. Have clear title. Comes with original shaker. I bought one that was not cut out, so both come with car. Has Posi rear-end . Has new starter and rebuilt radiator. All PHS documents and spare parts, extra shaker go with car. I have sold a few cars in 2010 and many parts on eBay. I have perfect feedback on cars and parts for many years. I try to describe the best I can so no surprises. It would not take much money to turn this car into a high dollar car or drive the way it is. I like the hard top because if you have more then 220hp the t-top car can twist on a fast take off. T-top cars dont do well with more horsepower because they are not stiff enough. T-tops also always leak. 4 speeds are rare and getting very hard to find especially in the 77-78 bantit looking years. Cash in person or funds clear before car goes anywhere. I am happy to work with your shipper or pick you up at airport for you to drive home. Car has 119000 miles. Same style car as in the Movie Smokey and the bandit accept no leaking t-tops and can handle the power better. Any questions let me know. 406 239-9817

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

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.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
