1980 Pontiac Trans Am Paint codes correctly note the car as Starlite Black, Tan interior “W” code car notes that the vehicle originally had a 301cc engine. Engine has been replaced with a 1980 Camaro Z28 350cc and a freshly rebuilt TH350 transmission. The engine has a mild performance cam, aluminum Performer intake manifold, and a Holley 650 carburetors that was rebuilt by Midas in Cleveland TN in April 2016. The engine has long tube headers and true dual exhaust with the original factory stainless dual tips. It has a new master cylinder and new brake booster. Midas in Cleveland TN installed new brake pads on it and the brakes function very well. The vehicle has a new steering box, and this means that the vehicle steers very well, with very little “slop” compared to many with the original steering boxes. The car has new paint, which I would rate as fair to good because a close inspection will note some sanding marks especially on the hood. The graphics are all new including the bird on the hood, which is actually a 1979 bird because many did not care for the original 1980 bird. It has new weather stripping from the t-tops down. Also, new headliner and rear package shelf cover. The dash has a new dash cover which covers all but one dash imperfection, which can be seen close to the radio. As pictured, this car had the unusual factory option of cruise, although it does not currently function. It has new door panels, new seat foam and fabric(the seats were taken apart and new fabric installed. This is not just a cheap slip on cover). New carpet in cabin and in the trunk. The original jack complete with the “bumper guard” are present. The original t-top covers are present in the trunk along with the complete jack assembly. The gauges light up and function, although the cabin light switch must be switched on in order for them to be on. Also the guage lenses are a bit fogged as is common with this vintage. The wiper motor and blades are new and function perfectly in the high and low settings. The headlights work but the brights do not. The car has spent its life in central TX and the previous owner was quick to point out that the car is rust-free. I climbed under the car with a flashlight and looked in the usual places especially in the doors but I have currently not found ANY rust. You could look a long time and not find a car this RUST FREE. The snowflake wheels are in overall good condition, although a close inspection will note areas of the paint have been repaired with fair results. The snowflake wheels have new center caps which look very nice. The front windshield is new and free of scratches. The t-tops functions well and can be put on and taken off with relative ease. There are some small scratches, especially on the driver t-top, but are not seen from a couple feet away. The vehicle is free of dents, however, a close inspection will note small dings in doors. The side lights and brake lights work properly. The turn signals work properly however, the left blinker indicator light on the dash does not function on the dash. Both window motors were replaced in April 2016 and the windows go up and down perfectly. The interior is overall in very good condition. The cabin light is wired but is not currently hooked up. The heat and air do not currently function, although the condenser and heater core are present on the vehicle. The previous owner told me that the heater core had been pressure tested but I have not been able to corroborate that. The car runs and drives well. I drive it to work once a week or so. The motor really sounds nice and the car draws onlookers at most stops. The title is clean and clear and in hand.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
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.
