This is a very rare find, this car was purchased new by Mr HP Rouben on August 3, 1971.
Mr Rouben was a wealthy business owner from Decatur Georgia who had several vehicles deemed "Company Cars".
This particular vehicle was used for cross country "business" trips with the family
. Mr. Rouben caught the front fender on the passenger side , on one of his trucks in the warehouse, while backing the car out for a trip one day in 1984. He decide to take another vehicle and parked this one in the warehouse.
Unfortunately before the car could be repaired, Mr. Rouben passed away. All company vehicles were put in the warehouse by his family members along with other belongings, in a rural area in Atlanta, and locked away up until last year when a friend of mine purchased the building's belongings in an auction. The roof of the warehouse had received damage and leaked inside which caused some condensation in the cars nothing was damaged to the pontiac other than the vin plate rusted, and the headliner fell. The cars were vandalized at some point by scrap thieves who stole the radiators, keys, and tried to steal the heater core from this car. A homeless person had also broken into the warehouse and was using this car to sleep in. When I purchased the car the tires were flat and dry rotted, it had no keys, and was not running. I pulled it to the shop, replaced the distributor with an electronic one, replaced the plugs, the wires, the oil, the oil filter, radiator , the tires and had the steering column rebuilt and keyed. She now cranks and drives , needs a muffler, the brakes are spongy and the accelerator pedal sticks sometimes. I had plans for this car but it has done nothing but set since I got her running. I do crank her up at least once a week and drive her around the yard.
There is NO TITLE, it is not required in Georgia on a vehicle this old, It comes with a bill of sale and the last tag receipt (registration) ONLY. With that being said, it has only ever had one title, and the title number is on the last tag receipt, you should be able to petition the state of Georgia through your MVR for a title with your bill of sale, I would suggest you check before bidding.
This is a very straight and solid car and other than what I replaced, is 100 %  Original. The pictures speak for themselves.
Car must be paid for in full within 7 days of auction end afterwards you may have as long as need be in order to arrange transport. If you are picking up in person there is a local notary who can notarize the bill of sale for you for $5.00 and I recommend it.
Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding.
Thanks and God Bless.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari Wagon

Wed, May 27 2020

The Detroit station wagon was fast losing sales to minivans and trucks as the decade of the 1980s progressed, but Pontiac shoppers still had plenty of choices as late as the 1988 model year. A visit to a Pontiac dealership in 1988 would have presented you with three sizes of wagon, from the little Sunbird through the midsize 6000 and up to the mighty Parisienne-based Safari. Today's Junkyard Gem is a luxed-up 6000 LE, complete with "wood" paneling, found in a car graveyard in Fargo, North Dakota. Confusingly, the "Safari" name in 1988 was used by Pontiac to designate both a specific model — the wagon version of the Parisienne/Bonneville— and as the traditional Pontiac designation for a station wagon. That meant that the wagon we're looking at now was a Safari but not the Safari in the 1988 Pontiac universe. The 6000 lived on the GM A-Body platform, as the Pontiac-badged version of the Chevrolet Celebrity. Production ran from the 1982 through 1991 model years, with the A-Body Buick Century surviving all the way through 1996. The LE trim level came between the base 6000 and the gloriously complex 6000 STE (which wasn't available in wagon form, sadly). I visited this yard in Fargo after judging at the Minneapolis 500 24 Hours of Lemons in Brainerd, Minnesota, last fall. Up to that point, I had visited 47 of the Lower 48 United States, with just North Dakota remaining, so I made a point of doing a Fargo detour in order to check that state off my list. I'm pleased that I found such a good example of the 1982-1996 GM A-Body in this yard, because the most famous of all the A-Bodies is the 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera driven to Brainerd by the inept Fargo-based kidnappers in the film "Fargo." This Minnesota-plated 6000 had some rust, but just negligible levels by Upper Midwestern standards on a 31-year-old car. The interior looked very good, with the original owner's manual still inside. The 6000 LE boasted "redesigned contoured seats and London/Empress fabric," which sounds pretty swanky. Something less swanky lives under the hood: an Iron Duke 2.5-liter pushrod four-cylinder engine, known as the Tech 4 by 1988. The Iron Duke was, at heart, one cylinder bank of the not-quite-renowned Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8; while fairly rugged, the Duke ran rough (typical of large-displacement straight-four engines) and made just 98 horsepower in this application. Pontiac offered a couple of optional V6s in the 6000 in 1988, but no Quad 4.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here 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.
