1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
West Hartford, Connecticut, United States
|
For Sale, Beautiful 1976 Trans-Am, all restoration done about one year ago. The car drives super tight and straight, it has power steering and power disc brakes. This car can be driven anywhere with confidence. The engine is the origional 400 cu.in. and rebuilt with less than 1000 miles on it. It has a mild cam with roller rockers, an Edelbrock intake and headers. The engine compartment is very clean and detailed. The estimated horsepower is about 350.The turbo trans was replaced with a 700R with overdrive so cruising on the highway at 65 the rpm's are at 2200. The rearend is a 3:73 posi unit and rebuilt. The car has beautiful black paint with a red interior that just sets off the black paint. The interior has no rips or busted seams. It has power windows and power door locks. It also retains the orig. am/fm radio with an 8 track player. The orig radio has been disconnected and a new after marker radio an c/d player installed in the glove box. This car needs nothing except maybe the Firebird chicken on the hood. When the car was repainted I choose not to put it on, just personal choice. All other Trans-Am badging is there. The decal can be bought at many of the after market places. The rims are factory, and in excellent condition with no curb rash or marks. The tires have about 1000 miles on them. I'm selling the car to make room for my next project I have set the reserve low on this car, you couldn't rebuild this car for what the reserve is. The car is sold with no warranty and the buyer is responsable for the shipping, but I will assist in anyway I can. Connecticut does not issue titles on any cars older than 81 so it is sold with a bill of sales. If you have any questions call 860-463-3730. Thanks for looking. |

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General 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.
