1976 Trans Am. My older brother bought this car in about 1980 and had in storage the last twenty years. He was in the process of restoring it when a stroke ended his life and it's been a couple years since and I had some time available so I finished his project as sort of a tribute to his love of this car. He had a son and two daughters. The Engine, Tranny and Car Vin numbers all match. He had put a small lift cam in at some point but was not to radical as you can hear it blub at a idle a little and the car runs just fine. The Drivers seat has a some small tears but outside of that the interior is completely 95% intact as it came from the factory new. The seat covers in the pictures were put in twenty years ago and I would recover the seat or have an apholstery shop repair the drivers seat as it is rare to find a original seat cover in this condition. The stick shift and the shift knob both say Hurst on them. The motor is a 400 with 4 speed manual transmission. Anyway interior is all original. Classic Industries sell new authentic upholstery for $269 dollars a set for the front seats. I left the old School fuzzy seat covers on for the time being and decided whoever buys it could have the seat covers repaired or to have new covers put on would be up to them. The engine compartment is how it was when I got the car and is not perfect but is pretty much original condition and still needed to have the auto polish from the paint job cleaned off the air cleaner etc. The radiator support looks like it may have been straightened in the past. The tires are BF Goodrich TA's 265/50/15's in the front and 275/50/\15's in the rear. Apparently this size of tire is no longer available in 50's but they were in good shape, had plenty of tread left in them and fit the looks of the car so I replaced the corroded SS Cragers with brand new ones and they look great on this set up. After replacing all the rubber molding on the doors and trunk they all shut hard but I assume that settles in after a while. They shut fine before the new molding was put on and seems to be getting better the longer it's on. Car needed new alternator and wiper motor so they are both new or rebuilt. New headlight switch so dash lights dim correctly. Car comes with original inflateable spare tire and like new original jack. Large firebird decal could use to be replaced if you want it to be perfect. Tack and Speedometer work fine as does the odometer. Car shows 65,152 miles as of now but above I added some for driving around getting the bugs out. I put in new plug wires and spark plugs. The wires were shot and now the car runs pretty darn good. 4 barrels needed some lubrication and freeing up put seem to work as intended now. I put in a new K & N air filter and had the brakes all re-done. Car handles really good with the tire combination and steering is really fast compared to cars these days. Drivers door glass has scratches that I would change out if I was keeping it for my self for show. I drove the car out to dinner and it gets a lot of thumbs up. Of all the Trans Ams years and colors I believe this is one of the sharpest looking TA made from the round headlights to the front and rear bumper covers. Want more info and any additional pictures just ask.

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags
Sat, Jan 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.
Junkyard Gem: 2006 Pontiac Solstice
Wed, Sep 4 2019The debut of the Pontiac Solstice, back in 2005 for the 2006 model year, stirred up much excitement in the automotive world. Sales were brisk at first, and then they weren't so great… and then Pontiac itself went under The General's cost-cutting axe. One thing I have learned during my junkyard travels is that even sought-after sports cars eventually reach a point at which they start showing up in the big self-service junkyards. For example, the BMW Z3 began appearing in such yards about five years ago, along with the Audi TT. While the Honda S2000 still appears to be exempt from this process, today's Junkyard Gem shows that the time has now come for the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky. The first Z3s and TTs I saw in the U-Wrench-type yards were crash victims, not worth fixing, and that's the case with this Solstice. In a few more years, I'll start seeing the occasional Solstice/Sky discarded due to general worn-outness. Someone grabbed all the undented front body parts and the transmission (these items, presumably, being valuable), but no junkyard shoppers have felt like pulling the non-turbo 2.0-liter Ecotec. The interior seems dirty, probably from exposure to the elements while sitting outdoors in this Colorado Springs wrecking yard, but not in bad shape otherwise. Perhaps the car's owner celebrated a return from Iraq with the purchase of a sporty new Pontiac, 13 years ago. These cars have an enthusiastic following, so I wasn't expecting to see a junked one so soon after production ceased. I felt the same way about the Chrysler Crossfire, however, and I found two of those last year. What's next, a 2002-2005 Thunderbird? This content is hosted by a third party.

Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
