You know what it is that you are looking at! One of the rarest and best looking, head turning Trans Ams ever produced! Mechanically it's a solid solid daily driver. There is a binder of receipts for everything that has been done to it before I got it. Since I picked it up I have done the same. Comes with the build sheet, etc. * Most likely all the gaskets will need to be replaced. I have not done it and there is no record in the binder of it being done. * The brake light came on recently and I can't find the problem. I can't find a leak anywhere and I haven't noticed a bit of change in the performance of the brakes. It may be the proportion valve, not really sure. * Sway bar replaced in 2011 * Alternator replaced in 2011 * Power Steering pump replaced in 2011 * New motor mounts installed in 2011 * Master Cylinder replaced in 2011, but as you can see from the pics it looked as if the gasket leaked or brake fluid was spilled on it. I have replaced the gasket since it was pretty bad. * Carburetor kit was installed in 2012 * New shocks in 2011 * Spark Plugs replaced in 2011 * The engine has not been modified or hot rodded. Everything is original as can be and just purrs. Sounds great at start up, idle and while driving. * Automatic transmission feels solid. Shifts into gear like butter. * Windshield wipers work, but the fluid motor does not. Have not trouble shot it yet. Interior Since most of the work had been done to keep it rolling I have spent time on the inside. * New seat covers on the front seats. Brand new spring set in both seats with extra foam added in the butt and lower back area. Tracks greased and are like butter. Redyed the back of the seats and new chrome trim. Seat frames were wire brushed down and sprayed black. New busing added to take away that "pimp look" from the seat leaning. * New Retrosound stereo installed and new map tray installed. There is an amp hooked up to 6x9's in the back. Front speaker is not operational. It is there, but not hooked up. Still factory original speaker. * Power windows work. * Power door locks do not. I know it is an electrical issue that needs to be addressed. I replaced the motor on the drivers side and that did not fix it. * New door lock installed on drivers side, but need to install on passenger side. Do have the matching lock. * Do have brand new door handles for future use after new paint. * Have screw kit from F Body warehouse that I have been using as I have been upgrading parts of the interior. * Carpet is still in nice shape and has a good shag feel to it still. * Headliner is in nice shape. * The plastics around the headliner, sail panels, etc could be redyed and would look really nice. * New shifter plate installed. * The steering wheel is in good shape. Can start to see on the back side some light surface cracks, but it's not out of control by any stretch of the imagination. Very good shape for an original steering wheel. * Steering wheel column needs to be replaced and/or repainted. Not a big deal. * Dash has not been cut up, still very solid. * Bezel is in great shape too. * All gauges work, clock works but I have no idea what time it is. * New door pulls * Antenna is not installed, but radio pulls the signal. Not sure if the power function works on it or not. * New center console cover has been ordered, will be re-dyed and installed for new owner. Exterior This is where it gets wild. It's like your buddies girlfriend...looks good from afar, but once you get right up on it you see the problems! It looks as if someone painted it themselves and got in a hurry or didn't just slow down and do the prep work involved which is the most important part of it. * As you can see on the top center rail by the t-top there is a problem. Not sure what happened there. * I drove it to work about 4 weeks ago and you will see where someone did something to the front right hand side of the front bumper. AHHHHHHH! It does not have any physical damage that would warrant you having to replace the bumper, but it needs to be re-painted. My initial thought was that I would let it go for now and wait till I repainted the entire car. I very rarely drive it to work, etc. and the one time I did. I mainly drive it about 3-5 times a week to just run errands around town by myself, etc. * T-Tops DO NOT LEAK! They could stand to be replaced since they don't look fresh and clean. And guess what I have a brand new set I have not put on yet! I wanted to wait till after winter to install them to make it easier, but they will come with the car to the winner. * Brand new front windshield installed in November 2013. Rear defrost works like a champ and the glass is nice. * The paint overall I would rate on a scale of 1-10 maybe a 7 or 8? It's not terrible but you can see where they just got in a hurry. * Straight rust free car. * Lived in Tennessee for a while till it came to Oklahoma. * I keep it parked in the garage and it doesn't sit out and freeze in the winter or bake in the sun. What else do you want to know or need to know? Please feel free to drop me a line and ask and like I said I will be sure to answer any and all questions. The car is in Oklahoma just south of OKC. What do I think needs to be done to it to take it to the next level? A little engine TLC with gaskets, maybe new headers and just general clean up. And of course a new paint job if you so desire, but as far as a pay and drive off and around town car? You won't be able to keep up with the conversations and head turns you get from this awesome car! |

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
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.
