Up for bid is this very nice 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. This vehicle has recently had a frame off restoration. The engine and transmission are numbers matching with only 67356 original miles. During the frame off restoration, the body was removed from the frame and sand blasted and painted. the under-carriage was detailed with new body bushings, shocks, brake lines, and brakes replaced. The transmission was rebuilt and a b&m shift kit installed. The underside of this car is in very nice shape as well as the engine bay. The engine was removed and repainted, all seals and gaskets were replaced and a very mild cam was installed. Also, new timing chain and gears were installed along with new water pump, fuel pump, and a high volume oil pump. True dual exhaust with headers and flow master exhaust was professionally installed, the car sounds awesome!! The car really is in very nice shape. The interior looks very nice and original. The carpet has been replaced, the package tray and headliner are also new. The dash looks great. The paint is new and shines up very, very nice with only minor imperfections. All new weather stripping has been installed and even the key hole washers were replaced. This car is simply stunning as the pictures show. The car runs very well and shifts as it should. The engine is pretty much stock except for what I mentioned above, so if your looking for 300+ horse power, this is NOT the car for you. I wanted to keep it original, so the horse power is pretty much what the factory quotes. This car has recently won runner up twice and received first place once in its first three car shows, runner up in the 70's muscle car class and first in muscle car original. I have taken numerous pictures of the car and have explained it the best that I can. There really are no disappointment with this car. I did leave the hood bird off only out of personal preference. I do have the stock radio and even a NOS cb for that year Trans Am. I have several additional photos available if you'd like to see anything particular. I do have the car listed locally and may end the auction early in the event that it sells locally before auction ends. The reserve is set at a very reasonable price. The winning bidder is responsible for shipping however I will make myself available to assist. A deposit of $1000 is due immediately at auctions end and the remaining balance due within 3 days of auction ending. Good luck and happy bidding!! Please feel free to ask questions and request additional photos!!!

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
