1979 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe 455/4 bbl You’re looking at a very rare Pontiac Grand Am Coupe only 4021 of these were made in 1979. And what’s rarest of all is it has a 455 in the engine bay! If the factory would have built a car like this, this would be it. This is a true fast, sleeper. This car is ready to rock and roll for cruise nights this summer or the drag strip. A true Muscle Rod that looks great and gets loads of attention. You can get in it and drive it now! This car is a real cool sleeper… At last year’s dream cruise this car got rave reviews from the audience as it cruised down Woodward Avenue. It has a 455 V8, .030 over, which makes it a 462 Cu in. ? torque monster (replacing the factory 301). It was professionally rebuilt (I have some of the receipts, I did not do the rebuild). The Pontiac engine code is confirmed to be a YY with the big value 6X heads. All true Muscle Rod go-fast parts. The engine is matched to a turbo 350 transmission with a shift kit. You lay rubber in second gear, as you nail it. Driving the power to the ground is the heavy-duty GM 12 bolt posi- rear end. It is fueled through an Edelbrock 1604 carb sitting atop an Edelbrock aluminum high-rise manifold. It has a brand-new professionally installed dual exhaust system. What a great rumble from this new 2.5” exhaust system, with large diameter full length headers from MAD DOG Headers. The front tires are new and the rears have good tread life, and are BFG 245x15’s. The car handles very well, nice and tight. The radiator is upgraded to a heavy duty aluminum radiator. The battery has just been replaced. The big sway bar holds the car in the corners. This Pontiac is very dependable and the car runs and drives is you would expect from a great cruiser or drag/street racer. Take on the Power Tour this year and be one of the very rare people with the Pontiac version of the Malibu. Everything works on this car as it should, including the AC. There is some surface rust underneath the trim around the rear quarter windows and, but there is no rust through anywhere! There is some bubbling on the passenger side rear quarter about the size of a quarter. Nothing major. I believe the rust proofing job preserved this car. The undercarriage of this car is extremely clean. The interior was redone last summer (2013) with new painted trim ( Carmine Red), new headliner and carpet. Everything works on this car, just like from the factory! The interior is all factory original except for an aftermarket period radio. The seats look great ( driver seat needs minor stitching) and the dash is perfect, no cracks rips or tears. The car comes with some original service manuals and some paperwork, and service records, which date back to the mid-1990s. This is an awesome Muscle Rod YOU must see to appreciate. I highly recommend you come and take a look at this car and you will fall in love with it. You will not be disappointed. This car is ready for cruising or the drag strip, or both… A whole lot of fun in store for the purchaser of this rare Pontiac… GRRRRRRRRRR, it just needs a tiger tail.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The 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.
