 Up for auction is my very nice un-restored 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. It was built at the Van Nuys plant and sold new at Till’s Motors in Bellevue IA. The first owner traded it at Dan Kruse Pontiac. This is where the second owner bought it on August 10th 1982. At that time the car had 27,916 miles on it. I purchased it from the second owner’s estate last July. The car currently has just 35,600 miles. There is a log book to account for most of the miles added by the second owner.

 This is a mostly original car with only the tires, radio, battery, mufflers, upper radiator hose and the Air Conditioning compressor being changed. The A/C has been converted to R-134. The mufflers are vintage Walkers that have a lifetime warranty and were installed back in 1986. The A/C work was done back in 2008. This is when the upper radiator was changed also. The radio has been replaced with a “state of the art” (at least for 1979) Alpine in dash AM/FM Cassette player with a power booster/equalizer. It really does sound pretty good. This unit was a bolt in with no cutting or hacking required. I do not have the original radio.

 The car is equipped with the 403 Oldsmobile engine and an automatic transmission. It is code 75 red with no hood bird. Most people say it is hood bird delete but this was an option that was not ordered. It has the black deluxe interior. Some other options include tilt, cruise, intermittent wipers, A/C, Power windows, T-Tops and WS6 Suspension. I have some paperwork and the build sheet.

 I would describe the condition of the car as what it would look like if you could go back in time and buy it when it was a two or three year old used car. It looks incredible but there are a few little door dings etc… The driver’s seat has a very small wear mark on the left side bolster. There has been some early 1980’s vintage GM dealership lacquer paint work done to the bottom of the fenders and quarter panels but it is mostly original paint. This painting was for chips in the paint, not rust. There is no and has never been any rust! It has not been driven in the winter and has not even really been in the rain since 1982. It has been a toy since being purchased by the second owner. It has been stored in a heated garage forever.

 

I am not a dealer or broker. This is my car and it is titled in my name. The car is licensed and insured but unfortunately it is hardly driven, that is why it is being sold.

 

 

I have many photos posted at this address:

 I am not really interested in any trades as I am trying to downsize but I would consider an up or down trade for an interesting Mopar, an original paint Survivor quality Black with a Red interior 1978 Trans Am or a very nice low mileage late model Corvette convertible. I have no interest in any Harley Davidson motorcycles.

 

My work hours are not normal so do not be alarmed or offended if I am not able to reply to your questions right away. I will respond. I do not like the eBay policy of hiding user ID’s. If you are a real bidder and want to know who you are bidding against let me know and I will tell you. You will not find any ghost or phantom bidders here!

If you choose to bid on it sight unseen you are doing so at your own risk. Please remember you are bidding on this car to own it not to come and look at it. I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please do not ask what the reserve is. It is reasonable and it will not be revealed.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
