For sale is this 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with Fisher T-Tops, this car is in excellent condition for it's age and will make a great project if you're looking to build a show car or just a fun hotrod for the weekends. I have recently acquired the vehicle and do not have all information about the car but will tell you what I know.


First off, this thing runs great! The cars original 4.9L 301 V8 was replaced with the Pontiac 6.6L 400 V8 a couple years ago and not sure how many miles are on it. They painted the motor but does have some areas of paint that have came off you can not see these in photos but overall the engine compartment id really clean. Has an Edelbrock intake and a 600 cfm 4 barrel carb.The transmission is a 3 speed auto and is most likely original. Rear gears are 3:43 and the current mileage is about 85K and if they are original is unknown.

The car has 4 wheel disc brakes so most likely came with the WS6 suspension package but this is not confirmed since I don't have the original sticker. 

The car was originally red w/ red interior, previous owners had the interior painted and dyed to match new paint. With new paint came new decals and the 6.6L decal is now used on the hood to reflect the current motor. There are minor chips and dings in the paint in misc places and all are very minor, some chips in the interior show some of the original red. It is missing the t-top trim on the interior but does not affect the operation at all.

The body itself is 99% rust free, it has an under coating also. Very solid body. The seals are in decent condition for it's age, I would recommend new seals for the t-tops at the minimum.

Along with the upgraded motor, paint and interior carpet the car has new tires, brakes, shifter cable, shocks and 3 inch exhaust.

Power windows work good, the passenger side switch has to be wiggled at time but works, the power door locks DO NOT WORK, i have even looked into it to see if it's a fuse or something else but neither side operates but can still be locked manually.  The e brake is not connected and will be to be fixed along with the horn. The fan for the heat/ac is pretty slow and could be replaced. A/C has not been tested but was told it works just needs to be charged.

That's about everything I know, overall this is an excellent car and turns a lot of heads. Now here's the details on the Auction, PLEASE read this carefully so there's no confusion.

$1 start and a very reasonable reserve, If the reserve is met I'll be asking a $1500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit at time of auction close by pay pal only so PLEASE make sure you want this car if you're going to bid, If the deposit is not made with in 24 hours i will give a second chance offer to the next high bidder. Final payment will be CASH or Cashiers Check ONLY. LOCAL PICK UP ONLY, if you want to make arrangements to have the car transported that's fine. I'm also selling this vehicle through other avenues so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time.Please ask any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them quickly.

Thank you for looking and good luck!

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
