This GTA was shipped to me in New Orleans from Pennsylvania in November of 2012. Since I have had it I have replaced a TON of parts and invested thousands of dollars. I too was scared of the high mileage of this vehicle, but I know the previous owner - He is a mechanic and rebuilt the engine at around 120K. The transmission was rebuilt around 165K. The drivetrain is 100% solid - nothing to worry about there. It does not burn or leak any oil and does not blow any smoke, and she starts every time.
Mechanical Details:
Heads were redone with stock parts, all bearings and seals were replaced - Engine is .040 over with stock roller cam and heads.
Engine mounts were replaced when engine work done
25lb/hr SLP fuel injectors
TES headers W/ High Flow Cat, 3' back
High volume/high pressure oil pump (Oil pressure is always high because of the high volume/high pressure oil pump - It is normal for the gauge to show off the charts)
Spark plugs are NGK +4 and 10mm spark plug wires from Accel
Horsepower is estimated between 275-300. Not tuned, stock chip
TPIS airfoil in throttle body
Radiator is 5 years old,
Water pump 5 years old
160 degree thermostat less than 500 miles on
Heater core replaced 5 years ago
BBK fuel pressure regulator Adjustable and currently set to 47PSI
I won't list every little switch and button I have replaced on the car, so here is the critical stuff:
Replaced the cracked rubber spoiler with fiberglass spoiler from Hawks Thirdgen Parts
Welded in tubular subframe connectors from Spohn, and painted red
Installed steering brace - 'Wonderbar' from Spohn
Replaced front sway bar end links
Less that 100 miles on 4 new tires
All new AC system: (compressor, condenser, tank)
New throttle body
New black carpet with masbacking from ACC (and had all seats shampooed while removed)
New Monroe front struts and ACDelco strut mounts
New rear Monroe shocks
Hew headliner
New dashpad
Installed 3.5mm headphone jack in front of original working Delco tape deck
New rear hatch shocks
New front seat belts (most have the plastics cracked)
All new GTA emblems & birds
Recent cooling system flush
Things to know:
Both fans are manually controlled by two toggle switches mounted on the dash
Original power antenna is not present, I have a 3' plastic one in its place
There IS rust on this car. Surface rust underneath, some in driver rear wheel well (I sanded and painted it with POR15 so it will NOT continue) and there was rust on the passenger side floor pan. When I replaced the carpet, I sanded that area and painted it with POR15 so it will NOT continue. There were 3 small rust holes, I painted the underside of them as well.)
The exhaust is rusted out and will need to be replaced - But it still sounds awesome
The VATS security system was removed - Thank goodness!
Driver seat had a rip - I sewed it
Rear seat has a cigarette hole in it
One of the strut mounts failed and the strut poked up and made a nipple size dent in the hood (see picture)
Coming with the car:
New unused AC Delco spark plugs
Smog Pump delete pulley
Front sway bar bushings
Door spring compressor and replacement pin kit (driver side bushing needs to be replaced)
Owners manual, professional shop repair manual (1,000+ pages), Haynes Repair Manual
Faded original window sticker

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
