Up for sale is a rare 1989 20th Anniversary Trans Am Turbo Indy Pace Car. This is #970 of only 1550 produced. This car has been restored completely and is very nice. Car has 2 previous owners, the last one being a local police officer who drove this car to and from work everyday for years. It is a high mileage car with restoration of everything completed within the last 3 months. Car has less than 200 miles on it since restoration, and those have been driving it back and forth to local car shows. Here is the breakdown:
Engine & Transmission - Both completely and professionally rebuilt. The engine was balanced and blueprinted by local machine shop and engine builder specializing in turbo GMs of this era. Camshaft was replaced with a custom grind, billet roller and lifter set with matching valve springs, timing chain and button. Heads and block are numbers matching to the car, as is the intake and exhaust manifolds. Exhaust and intake manifold were all blasted and ceramic coated with heat barrier along with the turbo housing, heat shield, and inlet pipe. Valve covers and upper intake were also blasted and powder coated to original color schemes. All brackets were blasted and powder coated along with the engine cradle, control arms, steering and suspension components. New oil pump, injectors, relays, sensors, switches, module, coil, radiator, fan motors, overflow and reservoir tanks, aftermarket caster-camber plates for better alignment, struts, headlight motors, etc. Car starts right up, runs great, shifts crisp and is a blast to drive. Adjustable turbo gate was also installed with a scanmaster digital read out to monitor engine data. Easily a 10 on a 1-10 scale. Exhaust - Replaced with 3" all the way back. Got rid of those horrible chrome tips, but I still have them. The exhaust now is hidden above that rear valance. Mufflers are flowmasters. Sound good. Since I am not too found of loud cars, I rate the exhaust in means of quality and function at a 9, but mufflers at a 5 because I like more quiet cars these days. Suspension, Steering and Brakes - Everything new (balljoints, bushings, tie rods, center link, idler, struts, shocks, rotors, calipers, wheels, tires, etc.). I did powder coat factory PBR brake calipers red and rebuilt them using cross-drilled and slotted rotors. Wheels are original to the car, just re-finished and look amazing. Tires were replaced when wheels were re-finished (BFG Comp TAs). Even the lug nuts, lug nut black covers and center caps were replaced new. Rear brakes are factory - I was going to do the same as I did to front, never got around to it. Rate this area a 10 as well. Very nice. Interior - Again, new everything (carpet, leather seat covering, dash, headliner, weatherstripping, leather shifter knob, leather e brake handle, door panels, switches, etc.). I had the dash wrapped in leather material to match shifter and e brake and looks SO much better than that plastic they used. Gauges were all taken out, cleaned, worn out gears replaced, and re-installed (odometer was set to ZERO to represent when restoration was complete). Original leather purchased and installed (very expensive) and extra leather used as inserts in door panels (looks great). Dynomat installed under carpet and upper sails and roof. Console, radio bezel, door handle inserts and gauge cluster panel were all carbon fiber dipped because that original checker-board patterns looks so bad after time. They all look really good (see pics). Rear hatch release new and functional, ttop covers and straps work and look great, cargo cover refinished and functional. Hard plastic seat belt covers for front seats are torn and side panels are cracked. I have new ones and will be installed today. New speakers in dash and back and work with factory stereo, as does the steering wheel controls. AC blows cold, Heat blows hot, and everything works fine. I rate this section a solid 9 just because I am so picky when it comes to interiors of cars. Exterior - I have not re-painted the car, but it looks really good up close and afar. With that said, I would bet it was re-painted at some point in its life and it was done right. I did have the front and rear bumpers re-sprayed because those parts just crack and look like crap over time. I also installed a fiberglass rear spoiler to replace that weak plastic one that always falls apart over time. New Indy decals as well as all new weatherstripping. Car looks awesome. Doors shut nice and solid and do not sag. Headlight go up and back down, fog lights work, third light replaced and functional. Never has had window tint, which is weird. I rate this a solid 8.5 because this is a driver and not a store in a warehouse and not drive car. It could easily be stored that way because it is that nice. Basically, everything you can imagine has been rebuilt or replaced and the car looks and runs great. All hard parts (block, heads, internals, rear end, etc.) are factory and number matching to this car. Very nice restoration with classy touches made along the way. |

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.
One of Burt Reynolds' favorite cars could be yours
Fri, Apr 12 2019LOS ANGELES — One of Burt Reynolds' favorite cars is going up for auction in June along with some of his cowboy boots, hats, sports jackets and other items from his estate, Julien's Auctions said on Friday. The two-day auction in Beverly Hills, authorized by the actor's family, comes almost a year after the death at age 82 of the charming star who was one of Hollywood's favorite actors. The highlight of the auction is a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am car that Reynolds used on photo shoots and drove on the Bandit Run cross country rally, which re-enacts the journey at the center of his 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit." The car, which Reynolds co-owned with his business partner Gene Kennedy, is expected to fetch up to $500,000 at auction, Julien's said in a statement. Two pairs of leather cowboy boots — one red and one yellow — are also offered for sale with estimates ranging from $800 to $2,000 a pair, along with two cowboy hats. Reynolds started out as a football player at Florida State University (FSU) before injuries suffered in a car crash wrecked his hopes of a professional career. But his attachment to FSU remained strong. The auction includes several custom or personalized FSU baseball, basketball and varsity jackets. Other highlights include an oil on canvas painting of the actor's favorite horse titled "Cartouche," which carries an estimate of $20,000 - $30,000. Other art works, furniture and dozens of personal items are also being offered for sale. The auction will take place in Beverly Hills on June 15 and 16, and will be preceded by a public exhibition of some of the items from June 10-14. Reynolds, who was also known for the 1960s television series "Gunsmoke" and the movies "Deliverance" and "Boogie Nights,"" died of a heart attack in Florida in September 2018.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
