I picked these up from a nice gentleman close to me who had these just sitting and waiting to be restored. I only restore Trans Am's and have a couple projects in front of these so I'm letting them go to someone who can put these diamonds in the rough back on the road. Anybody who knows these cars knows how rare it is to find one let alone two. Only 2000 made in 1981.

The 1st car is a clean Florida title X87T (VIN 1G2AX87T7BN118796) car that had a tree fall on it across the hood area. The interior is intact and has had a 403 installed at some point in it's life. It will need body work from  the tree damage but is mostly rust free. The trunk, pans, rear hinge pans, rear valance and other normal areas common to rust are clean. All I could find is some bondo on the lower rear quarters. This car is about 95% there and would make a nice resto. T-tops are in good shape.

The 2nd car is a non titled (bill of Sale) X87T (VIN 1G2AX87T9BN116306) car bought as a parts car for the first. It is complete with interior and has a little more rust than the first car. It does have the 301 but only has a carb set up on it now. The intake, turbo and manifold are included however for the resto. T-tops are also in good shape. This car is a excellent parts car for the first or could even be restored if chosen. It is also about 95% there.

Please remember these Super Rare cars are sold as a project. Both cars are worth approx 12k in parts. A finished Recaro T/A can sell for approx 20k so these are a solid investment.

I'm not interested in selling only one or parting them out.

All parts pictured are included in the sale.

Buyer is soley responsible for the pick up and delivery of the cars and parts. Cars are located Outside of Tampa, Fl. 33559.

Any questions please ask and thanks for looking.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.
