 For Trans Am fans out there, this is a really nice and unusual car. So much can be said, it is hard to know where to start. A bit of history first:
- This car has spent its whole life in Arizona. It was delivered here when new and it has remained in the desert so no issues with rust with this one. I am the third owner. The previous owner was a garage owner and mechanic. This was his wife's car and he decided to restore it. I will share with you what I know from what I have been told by him. The body was removed from the chassis and was painted by a real pro. This was probably twenty years ago but the paint job today looks amazing, except for a couple of little nicks. Everyone who sees this car always ask how long ago it was painted. When I got the car it had been sitting in a garage for the better part of those twenty year. I washed it and hand polished it a couple of times and the shine is really spectacular.
He also rebuilt the engine and Transmission. I was told that not one internal component of that engine rebuilt was stock. I can believe it because this engine runs very strong with incredible smoothness. The transmission is a TCI high performance transmission with a B&M Shifter. The car will easily spin its wheels even in reverse! The engine and transmission combo has less than 1000 miles since the rebuilt, even though it took place a long time ago. The car just sat in a garage waiting to be finished.
So all that was done before I got the car. As good as a mechanic the previous owner was, he hated interior work. As a result the inside needed a lot of attention. That is when I came in.
I pulled everything out of the car and we proceeded with insulating and sound deadening the interior. We re-upholstered the original seats and bolstered the front seats for better cornering compared to the stock flat seats. They are extremely comfortable and keep you planted pretty well. Everything inside is custom made. Check out the Bird on the headliner, the diamond stitched suede inserts on the seats with matching gear shift boot and custom door panels. This is definitely not a stock interior. New carpet with matching floor mats, the dashboard was also covered with hand stitched vinyl to match the rest of the car. All the plastic pieces elsewhere were also covered with vinyl for a classier look.
The original stereo system was obsolete. I installed a Clarion single disc CD player with I-Pod connection and bluetooth. There are two large amplifiers custom fitted in the trunk along with a single 12 inch woofer. Up front, there are two round speakers, two tweeters under the dash and two hidden 6X9 behind the back seats. The sound system is crisp and powerful.
The latest addition to the car was a complete new dual exhaust system with two Flowmaster Series 44 Original muffler and brand new Trans Am chrome tips. The sound is absolutely addicting.
The suspension was also upgraded by the previous owner. The car has a posi-traction limited slip differential rear end, KYB shocks and upgraded suspension hardware. The gas tank was also replaced when the body was re-assembled.
This is a very nice car and one everyone comments on. It will be sorely missed.
Serious inquiries only. If you need more info, feel free to call me directly: J-P 480-652-1600.
NOTE: THE MILEAGE STATED HERE IS WHAT IS ON THE ODOMETER, BUT IT MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. Speedometer also needs to be calibrated. It is about 25 to 35 mph off.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
