A Beautiful Black California 1978 Pontiac Trans Am with the rare WS6 Special Trans Am Performance Package and T-Top roof (Only 2558 of this model was built). This low mileage vehicle (just hit 55555 miles) has had a frame-off restoration recently completed (see photos) and restored with original GM or ACDelco parts. This vehicle is in original "almost new" condition. This is a "Matching Numbers" vehicle which means the VIN number on the dash matches the VIN numbers stamped on the engine, transmission, and date codes on other parts. I have complete documentation of this car's dealer order form and option content from Pontiac Historical Services. This vehicle is a California car and was built at the Van Nuys CA assembly plant. It still has all the original VJ9 emissions control equipment and factory catalytic converter (California buyers will not have to make any modifications to license this car). The engine is the 6.6L 403, it has a turbo-hydramatic 350 3-speed automatic transmission, the rear axle has factory safety-track (posi-traction) with 3.23:1 gears. The tires are brand new on reproduction 15x8 snowflake wheels. I do have the original 1978 all-gold painted 15x8 wheels if you would rather have them instead. The exhaust system, catalytic converter, brakes, suspension, electrical, fuel and brake systems have all been replaced with correct original parts. The carburetor, and transmission were just overhauled, the engine is in great condition, does not burn oil, and runs great. The vehicle has power windows and power door locks too. This vehicle has not been hot-rodded or modified. The exterior paint is new with new stickers. The air conditioning and cruise control work. it has an original radio with cassette player. The original interior was black vinyl, but it is now is has been upgraded to tan cloth. This vehicle is completely road worthy and licensed; it is very fun to drive.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
