The Toy Barn of Dublin Presents:

1976 Pontiac Trans Am

Numbers-matching 455/4spd, FRESH frame-off restoration

The Toy Barn is thrilled to offer this absolutely beautiful '76 Trans Am, in stunning condition, and ready for it's new owner! This is a get-in-and-go Trans Am, ready for the shows, the street, or the collection, and was a recent trade-in here at our facility. This numbers-matching L75 455 H.O. Trans Am had a complete and high-quality frame-off restoration in 2009, and was driven approximately 400 miles since completion. The previous owner had purchased it from RK motors in Charlotte, and included with the sale will be all of the photo documentation that was included when purchased. This is a beautiful car, for sure, and will be a fantastic addition to that special garage.

Condition: The Carousel Red (paint code 78) finish looks and shines fantastic, as you'd expect. The gold decals and "chicken" are all new as well, the honeycomb wheels are in excellent condition, and from front to back this Trans Am looks nearly new. Underneath, the finish is what you'd expect from a frame-off F-body like this; still shiny and close to new, with only 400 miles since the restoration. The interior is excellent as well, with a finish that looks like new. Check out the photos below, they do a good job at representing this beautiful interior. This Trans Am fires right up, sounds and runs strong. From top to bottom, this Trans Am is amazing. Call me for more details.

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.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
