For sale is a 1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The car has a powerful 305 Cubic Inch, High output 5.0 Chevy 5.0 Liter engine in it. The car is stock. It has new decals recently put on it from a kit. It has a new starter motor, spark plugs and wires, windshield wipers, battery, fuel line and filter, a Rochester Quadra-Jet carburetor, weather strip on the drivers side, seat covers, Trans Am floor mats, Pioneer cd player stereo,& etc.. All the lights work including the head lights which open and close electronically by a separate switch. The car runs and drives and has been well taken care of. I wash it and wax it every week. I'm selling the car because I'm leaving for school soon and I can't take the car with me so it has to go. This car looks good and reminds me of the car from the show Knight Rider as it looks similar to Kitt from the TV show. Trans Am's are well known collector's cars and it was even used in the Smokey and the Bandit movies. The car's interior is in decent shape with the seat covers and steering wheel cover. It is also a non-smoker car. The Pioneer stereo sounds great! There are no cracks in the dash pad which is common for these cars. The car has 95,235 miles on it and still strong. It has an automatic transmission. The oil has been changed regularly. The air conditioner was removed before I got the car because it adds a little horse power but the heater works perfectly if you're driving on a cool night or fall day. The car has a lot of muscle and is a true classic. The paint is black with silver on the bottom and looks pretty nice. The car wasn't abused, when parked it would be either in the garage or under the car cover. When driving the car it received many compliments and looks as it is a true beauty, or as they called it in knight rider the black beauty. Trans Am was Pontiac's top of the line firebird and I had a lot of fun with working on it and driving it too. The car has a clear title. The wheels are good, I bought special center caps where the bird emblem is silver to match the silver paint on the bottom of the car as well as the silver decals. The tires may need to be replaced soon but other than that and minor maintenance the car is great. I'm trying to be as honest and clear as I can. You will not be disappointed, if you have any questions feel free to email me and I would be more than happy to answer. Good luck and thank you for your time.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe

Sun, Apr 9 2023

In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.

Distracted driver crosses center line and hits police car

Wed, Apr 6 2016

Attentive driving and quick reflexes saved the life of a police officer in Hudson, WI, when an oncoming driver drifted into the officer's lane and struck his cruiser. According to KMSP, the officer was patrolling along a busy road through Hudson on March 31 when the crash occurred. Dash cam video from the patrol car which was released to local media shows the dramatic collision unfold. As the officer came around a mild left-hand curve, a white, 90s-era Pontiac Grand Am continued straight through the curve, across the center line, and directly into the officer's path. The officer was able to avoid a head-on collision, but the Pontiac still struck the driver's side of the patrol car. "Both the officer and the other driver are ok, however, this accident could have been much, much worse," said a Hudson Police Department official on the department's Facebook page. "So please remember to pay attention to your driving at all times when behind the wheel." Minnesota's Department of Public Safety estimates that one in every four crashes in the State of Minnesota are caused by distracted drivers. DPS believes that the actual number may be higher, but police often have difficulty proving distracted driving as the cause of a crash. Government/Legal Pontiac Driving Safety Coupe Police/Emergency
