1979 Trans Am - “Awesome Classic”- Atlantis Blue - Muscle Car
Up for sale we have a “Primo Investment” and “Excellent Fun Running” 1979 Pontiac Trans Am classic muscle car; In very good condition inside and out. Under the hood it has original 403 V-8 and automatic transmission with 59,100 original miles to the best of my knowledge. Car runs quiet (LOL) meaning no rattles or window air leaks.
It has a straight body with consistent space gaps, both doors, hood and trunk open and close smoothly with no concerns. Appears to have “no body work”, exterior paint / gold decals (and hood eagle) in very good shape with a few minor paint chips. Exterior paint is Atlantis Blue and looks very sharp.
The Interior has a factory fresh look and feel where the seats, console, doors, dash, headliner, and carpet are in very good shape. It has the original factory gauges, speedometer, tachometer, oil gauge, etc. all in good working order - clock works but not like a Swiss watch. The power windows, tilt, and interior/exterior lights all work, and A/C blows cool, and heater heats up pretty good, front defrost, and rear electric defroster / & lighted switch work well. Power locks work but in slow motion. It does not have any radio, but has dual rear speakers. I bought the car with parking brake not working, wipers work but fluid spray needs work. It has the (62X) Camel matching interior - great shape.
This is a high end quality Trans Am - “not” a 100 point show car but it is an awesome looker with that “Sweet Hot Purr - Wow Wow” with the car's sinister "T/A-6.6" branded shaker hood, rear and front spoilers in very good shape, side cooling ports, and honeycomb silver-gold snowflake aluminum WS6 15 by 7 wheels with the Trans Am 'gold bird' center caps. Tires are “near new” P245/60 R15. It has power front and rear disc brakes, power steering, and dual side splitting SST exhaust pipes.
This car was made in Van Nuys, CA with VIN # 2W87K9L178,256 - it runs and idles near perfect, and shifts like it should. It runs cool, charges correctly, and leaves “no” leaking fluids. The frame, floor pans, and exhaust are solid and clean, very little to no rust on 98% of this car, there are a couple spots in rear/undercarriage, and half dollar rust hole on the catalytic converter.
It has an immaculate trunk space and door with space saving spare tire and wheel. I have owned the car for 3 1/2 years and has been garage kept by me, and appears it was very well kept in it’s history. I bought the car for an investment and hardly drove it, but to keep it running properly. This car will make a very happy buyer, I am not selling it because I don’t love the car, but because I want to move on to other financial desires.
January 2013 I was starting and running car in driveway, noticed a little fluid leakage, and speedometer jumping around not working like it always does then it quit working, I took car to Precision Tune Auto care, the fluid leakage was brake fluid, had rear brake wheel cylinders replaced, rear brake shoes replaced, brake line and master cylinder flushed and replaced with new. Had the oil and filter changed, lubed, the oil dipstick tube was faulty and I had them replace it with a new one, speedometer was checked out and they replaced the speedometer gear retainer, and housing seals. the cable was fine. The car was driven about 20 miles with the speedometer not functioning right. Also had a headlight changed out, and new belts were also put on. I had also bought a new battery about 6 months ago. Car has been very well cared for and kept up and will make a very good buy.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
