1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This car was in storage for 12 years in a two car garage in Mississippi when I bought it. It was a father and son project that partially got started. I bought it and transported it to my garage where it has also sat untouched for an additional year and a half. I also purchased a gold 1978 trans am parts car and removed all the good parts off of it and they are also included in this auction. Extra Hood, two rust free straight front fenders, extra taillights, turbo 350 trans, extra leaf springs, the entire truck of this car is full of extra parts, some new, like a brake booster and master cylinder, box of new sub frame rubber bushings, etc. also new rear brake drums, new front brake rotors and calipers, extra upper and lower control arms, two extra steering boxes, steering rod, links, tie rods etc. the car has the original numbers matching w72 performance 6.6 liter engine with closed chamber heads stamp code 4., it also has the original factory Borg Warner 4 speed trans. Included also is four other engine blocks and three sets of cylinder heads, one of the set of heads are the casting 62 which are fairly hard to find. two extra intake manifolds both are the older performance non-EGR type. Three engine blocks are 400s and one is a 455. The 455 block is at standard bore as are two of the 400s. The 400 engine block on the engine stand has been at a machine shop and already prepared for rebuild. It also has a newly turned crank that goes to it. All the extra engine parts I bought, came with the parts car, so I don't know what machine shop did the work, but it is marked and tagged with the needed info. The car itself is in pretty solid condition with the normal rust on the floor panels, and other minor areas. The frame, rocker panels and other areas seem solid. This car is a project and will need to be completely stripped down and rebuilt for proper restoration. The entire interior will need restoration as well. The truck pans are in good shape and around the rear window is solid, the t-top seals were removed for inspection and the metal is solid in that area also. There is a little rust on the front windshield window posts see pics., also when I bought the car, the rear bumper was missing. I suspect it was removed due to a small damaged area on the left rear quarter, see pics. Included is a gold rear bumper from the parts car. Also under the hood, someone removed the brake cylinder, the radiator and shroud, belts etc. not sure why. The engine in the car is not seized and seems to have no oil leaks, although it does have surface rust. The distributor is there but the cap and coil is not. I have not tried to start the engine because of the missing parts. I wasn't worried about it because I originally planed to take everything apart and restore. Also I forgot to mention one set of the cylinder heads are for the 455 they are matching to the block according to the previous owner. Please contact me with any and all questions you may have prior to bidding, I will be happy to answer all inquiries. My goal is to not misrepresent anything and for you to be happy if you are the winning bidder. The winning bidder must pick up the car and all parts locally in Foley Alabama. No shipping. Thank you for looking!

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
