1979 Pontiac Trans Am on 2040-cars
Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, United States
*View the car running at this YouTube link: http://youtu.be/PVP1dnVRQuQ I purchased this Trans Am out in Littleton, CO in 2007 and have kept it covered or in a garage ever since, it had 65000 miles on it when I bought it. I have babied it and only driven it in nice weather. It is blue(2002 Dodge Electric Blue) with gold phoenix decals, t-tops. Body is in fantastic shape with only a few minor surface rust spots underneath, the body and frame is essentially rust free. This car currently has 70,048 miles on it. Engine and Transmission have been completely rebuilt with less than 1,000 miles on them. Engine is a Pontiac 455 and transmission is a TH400. The interior is all original and in pretty good shape. The car runs great and sounds fantastic! Since I have owned this car I have also had the following work done with receipts for it as well: -Engine rebuilt. - At Aces Auto Engine Supply in Colorado Springs in 2009. -Transmission rebuilt - At Aces Auto Engine Supply in Colorado Springs in 2009. -Gas tank, pulled, cleaned, fuel lines flushed and cleaned. -New Electric Holley Fuel pump. -New upper and lower ball joints. -New sway bar bushings and links. - The rest of this work was done in early 2008. At Performance Auto and Machine in Colorado Springs. -New upper and lower control arm bushings. -New polyurethane body bushings. Also: -The wheels are American Racing Torque Thrust, 16'. -Tires have plenty of tread left on them. -A new set of headers in the box will go with the car (currently has headers that are in great shape, some of the wrapping is coming off though). - Dyno tuned by RPM MotorSports in Garner NC, it has 262.31 Horsepower, 352.48 Torque (this was done a few months ago, I have the dyno sheet). It was originally a black Trans am as indicated by the Cowl Tag: Cowl Tag: 1 79 10B 2FS87L051785 19B 19L 19U A51 CC1 B34115069 VIN: 2W87K9L114837 Imperfections: -Needs windshield wiper motor. It will come with the windshield wipers. -Will eventually need new power window motors. -Weatherstripping around Driver's door and T-Tops may need small amount of adjustment to be perfect. -There are a few minor scratches/chips (pictures included). -Front Passengers seat belt mechanism will need to be replaced. - Face for the radio was lost when I moved a few years ago, I don't remember what kind of radio is in it. - Speedometer and Tachometer are not currently hooked up. - Driver's side window will roll up and down just fine, but only to 3/4 of the full up position, it will need to be re-adjusted on its track. I hate to see it go but I never get a chance to drive it anymore, I have only put 5000 miles on it in the past 6 1/2 years! I have a folder full of receipts from all of the work as well. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. I have plenty more pictures, so just let me know if you want to see anything specific. Thanks for looking!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
