 I bought this car about 5 years ago, but had trouble navigating the California Air Resource Boards requirements to register vehicles that have had motor swaps, so it has sat in my garage awaiting the day I move out of California or the emission laws change out here.  Neither has happened, and now that I've been accepted to grad school out here, I've come to grips with the fact that I have to let go of this car.  I'll try to list everything that it still needs below.  Despite what's probably going to be a long list, it really is a great car.  I drove it around for a few months on the temporary tags, and it really is a blast.  I'm sure whoever gets this car is going to have a great time with it.  My loss is your gain.

Shipping:  You have to work out shipping.  I will be super accommodating about dates and times, but you have to pick the car up before Aug 1st.

Condition: 

Motor:  The car has been extensively modified by the previous owner in order to accommodate the engine-swap.  The motor is a 3800 SC from a Buick Regal GS using WCF mounts and the WCF steel flywheel. The swap is common and well-documented on the internet.  The motor runs hot and I noticed the previous owner had installed an overdrive pulley on the supercharger.  You will likely want to swap it out for the original (included in sale), or run the proper tune for the overdrive pulley.  I don't know the actual mileage for the motor or the drivetrain.

Exterior: The car was re-sprayed and the paint looks pretty decent from a distance, but there are issues.  (See photos.)  There is a very large chip on the front nose, probably where the previous owner had used a leather bra.  There is a crack on the driver fender where the original paint underneath is exposed.  The panels on the car are plastic, though, so rust is not a concern.  There are also some white marks where the inconsiderate jerks who share my garage have hit it with their door.  Those should buff out. 

Interior:  The entire interior was entirely missing when I purchased the car.  The skin on the driver-side door is from a fiero with manual locks so there is a weird hole where the door locks would go and the center console (aka the rear glove compartment) is missing entirely. I recently recovered the headboard and there were never were any sun-visors. Also there is a plastic part called the "spider" that the radio mounts to which has cracked. This can be sourced from  a pick-and-pull or purchased from the fiero store.  The radio in the picture will ship with the car.  Once you replace the spider, you can re-mount the front center console which is all included. There is a small part of the seat which is worn/torn in the spot typical for Fieros from getting in/out.  It should be apparent in the pictures.

Drivetrain:  The car has pretty much sat for five years.  You should expect to want to change the tires, replace the battery, and drain and replace the fluids.  I did put some gas-tender in the tank, but I don't know how long that stuff lasts for.  The last time I started the car was about a year ago when I moved to this apartment complex and I drove it onto the flatbed and into the garage.  (The car has been garages the entire time I've owned it.). I probably should mention that when I first got the car, I had to do a pressurized bleed on the clutch master in order to shift properly.  Once I bled the system, though I drove it around for a few months with zero problems.

I'm going to include a bunch of miscellaneous parts with the car.  The previous owner supplied all the air conditioning parts that are needed if you want to install that.  I've also bought the custom drilled rotors and (used) corvette brakes for the "big-brake upgrade", which I didn't start.  All that will be included with the sale. 

If there are any questions, please ask.

Also, please remember I need you to pick it up by Aug 1. 

Thanks.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
