I have for sale a VERY SOLID RUST FREE 1979 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am. It is equipped with it's original 403 Olds motor and Turbo 350 Transmission. Car runs nice, but original carb needs to be rebuilt. I got it running with a friends carb and that DOES NOT go with the car. The car is loud at the moment, because it was missing exhaust manifolds when i bought it. I believe the previous owner was going to put headers on it and never did. I put the correct manifolds on it, but they are not hooked up to the exhaust, which is missing the downpipes. She moves around and drives, but there are no brakes at the moment. Motor looks to have been rebuilt, but i have no paperwork to verify. Was painted, so i'm assuming the motor was pulled at some point.
The previous owner had the car stripped down and covered it in a crappy primer, which is why you see surface rust. I assure you, there is no rot through that i can see on this car. Everything is solid. I have video's of the car running along with video of me under the car and walking around it. I can email them to interested bidders.
The interior of the car is nice. The dash is UNCRACKED. Floors are solid. Has the original radio that works. The interior panels are driver quality. Needs new carpet if you want it to be a show car. Seats need to be recovered. Steering wheel is very nice. Has tilt column with cruise control (unsure if it works, never tested it).
She needs a full restoration, but think of all the time and money that will be saved due to the condition of the body!! These are hard to find, and even harder to find (especially around here) in this condition. Buyer is responsible for shipping, but i will assist the best as i can. Please ask ?'s before you bid. Serious bidders only. Thanks and Good Luck!!

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According 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.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
