General: 1977 unrestored L/78 W/72 T/A 6.6 Pontiac Trans Am with just 28500 miles. I have owned the car over ten years and am the second private owner. The car has been garaged its entire life and very well taken care of. Almost all of the car's miles were put on its first year of life. There still a 1977 inspection sticker from Michigan on the drivers side window. I have only driven the car 3500 miles since then. This Trans Am is fairly rare being one of 11,402 true T/A 6.6 4 speed cars built that year out of 155,736 total firebirds. Then how many are truly left in the condition this car is?
Options: this is a low option car with no AC or power windows just the best performance parts for that year
M21 close ratio 4 speed ,AK1 f+r custom seat belts , C49 rear window defrost, A01 soft ray glass, WW7 hood decal, B51 extra insulation, Y92 lamp group, C95 dome lamp, B37 floor mats, B84 body side moldings, B80 roof drip moldings, U58 am+fm radio, Y90 custom trim group, W72 T/A 6.6 liter 4bbl engine
Drive train: 100% numbers matching and all original parts. Only maintenance items (plugs, air filter, battery, one belt, one rad hose)have been changed. The car runs as a new car does. Starts perfectly in the cold weather and the motor sounds smooth . The transmission shifts correctly . Since I have owned the car I have not had to do any mechanical repairs. It drives down the road with no rattles, tracks straight, and just drives nice.
Body: 80% original paint, never any rust ,and 100% original body parts. The paint looks very good and the car is straight. The decals are in near perfect condition. All glass is perfect. The paint does have some small chips down low on the rockers and one small (pencil tip sized ding) on the rear quarter. Both of these things are very hard to see in a photo. There has been some repainting on the car to correct scratches which were put on the car in 1977 during delivery to the dealer. I have paper work from the original dealer showing this( passenger side door , front bumper, and trunk lid) All repairs match and are done well. At car shows the car looks awesome but it is original paint and is not perfect. Tail lights, marker lights , front grills and all other body parts look as new.
Interior : Simply, the best you will find on any show car. There are no scuffs, dirt marks or worn writing. The headliner is perfect as is the original carpet. It also has dealer installed cruise control with the original paper on how to run it. The ash trays have never been used. The dash and gauges are clear and scratch free. The trunk is the best you will find also. It has not a single dirt mark or any signs of wear. The car also has a CB install kit in the trunk that includes a perfect original clip on antenna.
Extras: The car has had two upgrades from stock . The first is brand new custom billet 17" Year One snowflake wheels with BFG kdw tires ($4000+) . The second is a true duel custom exhaust($2000) made out of 2 1/4" stainless with a crossover and a single duel in -duel out flowmaster muffler. This system makes the car sound great and it looks good too. Also the original rally rims with new BFG ta radials will go with the car . The rallys are perfect originals with no damage whatsoever. The trim rings have no scratches and the original valve stem caps are still there.(new valve stems :] )
Lastly I hope you have enjoyed looking. This T/A is truly a special car . I have tried to describe it well but if you want to know more please ask. Phone at 774-678-0756 between 5-8 eastern. I will return all calls. Thx, Andy

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According 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.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
