Up for auction is a 1980 Firebird Trans Am Ttop car. The body of the car is overall very decent. Its not a perfect show car, this is a nice driver. If your looking for a show car it would need repainted. The paint on the car is nice and glossy yet but not perfect, and there is like 3 small dents on the hood. The car is rust free, there is NO holes or soft spots anywhere that I can see. The body, floor, frame rails are all very solid. The engine is a very strong running pontiac 400 V8 and turbo 400 automatic transmission. The engine runs great with loads of power, the transmission shifts great and as it should. The motor also has a 700 cfm Edelbrock carb. Ive also replaced recently the points, cap, rotor, plugs, and coil. The engine still needs plug wires and exhaust manifold gaskets and doughnuts. The exhaust is very loud and aggressive sounding. Sounds similar to Flowmaster mufflers but I believe the name of these mufflers is V-Tech. The interior needs work, Ive bought a brand new molded carpet and arm rests for the doors. The interior is mostly complete but the panels need dyed or painted or covered or replaced or whatever. The front seats are out of a newer Trans Am so in my opinion they look a little more sporty and they recline. The seats are in good shape front and back. I was going to have them stitched to match and cover the panels with some kind of material and go for a interior you may see in a pro touring car. I think it would be very simple to do with whats given and wouldnt cost much if you are willing and able to do the work yourself. The tires on the car are Goodyear Assurance 215/70R15 they have less then 700 miles on them. The driveshaft was recently rebuilt at a local machine shop everything is new the slip yoke, tube, and u-joints. It still needs the Ttop seals, the old ones have been removed. The windshield has a crack but not in the line of vision I still drive it that way. Well to sum it up I bought this car with the intention of eventually making it a show car but I never got that far. Its still very sharp and runs and drives and is alot of fun in the summer. Thats why at this time im trying to sell it as it sits you can enjoy it now and make it perfect as time goes or just go all out now. Theres no need for welding or straightening or looking for body panels. I think thats about it I believe I described the car very well but if theres anything to add I will do so or if there is any more questions or offers or someone that wants to come see in person feel free to give me a call or text at 319-551-7082.

This is a cash only sale I think I have more in this car then ill see back out of it so im prepared to take a loss but im not going to give my car away either. Im only selling because I could use the extra money, space and I just have too much going on and would like to see the car go somewhere to someone that wants to complete it and enjoy it for the next years to come. Please serious bidders/buyers only. Im looking to make a deal as quickly as possible im a motivated and serious seller with a clear title in hand ready to go.

Again this is a cash only sale the only trades I might be interested in is partial and the rest is still in cash. There is a reserve on the car but its not very high at all. I reserve the right to end the auction as soon as the car sells. I think thats about it, thanks for reading and good luck bidding!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

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."

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
