1979 Pontiac Trans Am Ls1 on 2040-cars
Belton, Texas, United States
|
We have for auction a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am no rust Texas car. We replaced the 403 6.6 Engine with a 5.7 LS1 Engine .We used the drive train out of a late model GTO which had 8000 miles on it. This included the computer, the 4L60E overdrive tranny and the engine. We do still have the original #s matching engine and tranny which you will get with the car. I have put approx. 3000 miles on the car since the conversion so the drive train has under 12k miles on it. We did the conversion about 2 years ago and when we did we pulled the entire front clip down including the sub frame. It has new sub frame bushings, new Heidst tubular upper and lower control arms. The car had the factory 4 wheel disc brakes, we upgraded the calipers and rotors, all new pads and lines. The paint and was done about 6 years ago and was originally a brown car, interior about 5 years ago. The gold firebird on the hood was cleared over and looks great the rest of the decals were not cleared over. This is a T-top car and they are good working condition. All the factory gauges work accept the tach and speedo due to the conversion but I have always kept a Tom Tom GPS that has the speed and mileage on it. The car has had a professional tune on the computer so it runs really good, fast but still gets 20+mpg on the highway. This car is very reliable and could drive any distance. The tires are BF Goodrich and are like new less than 3000 miles on them and they are 275 60 15 on the back and 255 60 15 on the front. It has Flow master dual exhaust with no catalytic converters or O2 sensors. If you need any more pics or have any questions please don't hesitate to give us a call at 254-933-3596. |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General 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.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
