PHS Documented included to buyer showing rare WS7 option!

The Trans AM has a Clear “California Title” in my name and Registration is current! 

Has Original Blue and Yellow color License Plate!!  

There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas!  Car is Rust Free!!!

This is a nice and rare factory equipped “WS7” performance handling package.  Only a certain number of Trans Am were produced with this suspension which is the same as the WS6 suspension except it does not have the rear disc brake brakes and was factory built with rear drum brakes.  It does have the front disc brakes and performance like the WS6 suspension! 

I do have the PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) Documents listing this rare WS7 Performance Suspension and will be included to the buyer. 

The Trans Am has the original 403 CID Engine.  The  VIN Number stamped on the engine  matches the VIN number on the dash!!!! (see photos of VIN numbers stamped on engine block).

 The engine runs nice and smooth with good power!!  The engine has not been altered and is very original!  I don’t know if it has the original miles stated on the odometer which reads 38,614.

The Trans AM has all its smog required emissions and will easily pass the California Smog Test!!! (passed the smog test on March 2014 with no issues! I can supply a copy of the smog certificate if needed!!).

The transmission is a Turbo Hydromatic 350 and possibly is the original transmission but I could not locate the VIN Number, so I will not say it’s matching numbers.  The transmission shifts smoothly and has no problems!  

The Car was built in Van Nuys, California and has no rust!

The front suspension has been rebuilt with new upper and lower control arm ball joints and bushings.  Front sway bar link bushings were also replaced. 

Has new Rear leaf springs rubber pads installed!!

New Front brake calipers and brakes!  Rear brakes have been also replaced and are in good condition.

New gas tank!!  Rubber fuel lines have also been replaced!

New Duralast Battery!

New weather stripping installed! (doors close a bit hard due to new weather stripping and door hinges will also need to be slightly adjusted/replaced).    

The car has a very nice and Shiny “Star Light” Black Paint job with nice SE (special edition) Decals!!!!!  The Trans AM was restored and painted approx. 3 years ago.  The body is straight and free from dents and rust.  There are no major dings on the Trans Am other than the normal road debris scratches.  

There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas!  Car is Rust Free!!!

Original 15X8 Inch wheels which have been polished!!  

All four wheels look like new!! All four Center Wheel Caps are in good condition!!  Front tires are Goodyear Radial  245-60-15 and the rear tires are BFGoodrich 275-60-15.  Car was stored for a while and tires might need to be replaced.

Original Steering Wheel with functional horn!!

Original front and rear seat frames.  Seats have been reupholstered and are in like new condition!

New black Headliner with no tears!

T-Tops are in very good condition with no cracks!

Clean door panels!!

Has New Black carpet!!

Nice clean Center Console and Shifter!!  

Original Dash Board in good condition but does have one crack going doing the top center of it (see picture).

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek

Thu, Jul 9 2015

The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.
