1979 Firebird Trans AM. I bought this car running 15 years ago. Slowly have been working on it. SLOWLY..I flat dont have time or money to continue this project and instead of being frustrated with it I'm going to sell it. This car was data plated with a 403 olds and factory slap shifter not dealer installed. A fairly rare car..When I pulled the vin years ago it was one of say 750 made. I have pulled everything out of it. The 403 was trashed so I sold off the block and had a 455 laying around which I took to a machine shop in Tumwater, WA and they did enough magic to pull off what we think is a 503 now with Edelbrock guts. Engine still needs the bling for the outside. Its never been run and is on the engine stand wrapped in plastic. Trans is a 350TH with a factory slap shifter. Nothing had been done to it other than removed from car. Trunk has been blasted and repainted with spatter. Interior has been gutted and installed are: new carpet, new package tray with new 6x9 speakers, new headliner, new dome light, all dash lights swapped for LED bulbs, Dash and steering wheel have been restored, gauge cluster has been pulled apart cleaned and re-assembled, refaced dash bezel, restored gauge rings, new dash knobs, new lighter and assy, new grab handle. New glove box and restored glove box door with new lock (un installed). All interior plastics refurbished, new ashtrays, re dyed seatbelts, new sill plates (uninstalled), new door gaskets and bumpers (uninstalled). New slapshifter bezel (repop not installed). Rear seat re-upholstered in standard, car came with deluxe but i liked the standard seats. I have the front seats which need new foam and upholstery. Center console has had repairs done to make it usable but I was going to get a new one, I do have a new center console box, lid and lock as well as a reface kit for the console. New pedal rubber and bezels. All interior hardware is new and I still have some that needs installations. I have more new speakers and 2 chrome blinged amps still in the box.
This car is at the point where paint and body needs to get done before I go further. I started working the passenger door but I dont know what Im doing so I stopped. It looks ok but not perfect enough for black for paint. I bought 2 additonal doors with all the power window and lock gizzys to swap into the car since it didnt come with any of that. Theres a few rust spots in the usual places behind the wheel well on both front fenders. Plan was new fenders anyway. Shaker hood and scoop with assy not shown in picts, Im sure Ive got more but I cant think of it all right now.
2 brand new front tires mounted on some crappy cragars just to roll it around. 2 snoflake wheels which need restoring.
Youll get everything I have for this car..This car needs to go to a good home..not to someone who is just going to duct tape it together and wrap it around a tree. Your going to need a trailer to haul her home and room for all the extra stuff youll get with her.
No you cant drive it home, Yes it has a crystal clear title, NO scams NO flakes and NO emails from Nigeria please. This is also listed on craigslist..first come first serve.

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.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
