Up for sale is a 1972 Pontiac Trans Am survivor. Only 1,286 were ever made that year. It has never been apart and still has all of the original drive train in it including the 800 cfm QuadraJet carburetor which has never been apart. The original complete 455 H.O. engine is still in it and appears to have never been out of the car. It runs and drives and still burns rubber when shifting into second gear. The carburetor accelerator pump is very weak and if the engine isn't started every 4 days or so then a small amount of gas has to be added down the carburetor. After that or if started every day it does not need it. These carburetors are very rare and I don't want to take anything apart if I don't need to. This is an original white car with blue stripes and a blue interior.The original shaker scoop is there with solenoids inside and original paint with 455 HO decal. It has the original radiator in very tired condition and can be re-cored to keep the correct tanks. It has the very tired original exhaust. It has the correct original date code stamped rally wheels. It has the correct PQ Turbo 400 Transmission and correct 10 bolt Positraction rear. The air conditioning compressor was removed by the previous owner. An A/C compressor with brackets (can't guarantee all there or correct) are in the trunk with the jack and space saver spare tire.

This car sold new in Palm Springs, California and has been in California all of it's life. The odometer shows approx 38,000 miles. I am not representing this as original and there are no records to show show otherwise. The previous owner was going to restore it and put it inside of his garage and sanded the paint down all over. It sat in that garage for over 30 years afterward never running. He eventually got in his 80's and had some Alzheimer's issues making obtaining the car difficult even though he had it offered for sale. I got it running and currently registered. I have driven it occasionally locally but never far as the cooling system is old and I avoid overheating it. The left front bumper bracket is bent and could be straightened with the bumper removed, the bumper itself seems good.I have no parts for it other than what is in the photos. I do not have the front grilles. The previous owner feels that he has them but no idea where in the massive collection of junk that he has hoarded over the years so no help there. I have had this car for over a year and am realizing that I am getting older and simply don't have time to restore it as I have 2 other cars that I can't find time for ahead of it. I moved it to a storage garage in a nearby city so I am listing it with photos from my files as going there isn't easy. It has the usual body rust at the right wheelhouse area. I have a new patch panel for it in the trunk that is large enough to repair it. The rest of the rust showing is very heavy surface rust, the floors appear to be fine. I could have primed it but I feel that the new owner would rather see that it is all the original uncrashed sheet metal.

Reserve is lower than I've been offered to part it out. I just want a good home for this survivor. It's almost 50 years old, so why kill it now. Winning bidder to pay transportation costs. Being sold as-is; where-is. No other parts are included other than the previously mentioned items in the trunk and what you see in the photos.

Thanks for Looking and Good Luck!

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 Â– also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past Â– to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
