I am selling my recently-restored 1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Car was purchased in June of 2012. It has the original 305 V8 with 190-195 compression on all cylinders. It runs strong. It also has the original 700R4 auto tranny which shifts smoothly. The car runs and drives great, and I recently had the A/C system recharged and converted to 134a refrigerant gas. I've spent more than $15k restoring the car, and this is a short list of what I've done to date...
and much, much more. When I purchased the car back in 2012 (I paid $3,000 for it), I started a builder's log on the Third Gen website, featuring more than 1000 posts and hundreds of photos with details on what I did—or had done—to the car. I think that chronicle will give you a good understanding of all the time and money I invested in this project. So, why am I selling my Trans Am? I own another T/A—a 1989 Turbo—which I would like to restore, so this one has to go, as I do not have the room to store both while I work on my '89. Since I got the '84, it has been kept garaged and it has not seen rain. I have taken excellent care of this car. Of course I hope the new owner will love it and care for it just as much. Trans Ams of this vintage are hard to find in nice condition, and this one is ready to be driven to the next car show. Items that still need attention include the fuel gauge (not working), and the power window switches sometimes stick, even though they are brand new replacement parts. Don't let this one get away. I am offering the car locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if I sell it to a Central Florida buyer. (I live in Orange City, between Orlando and Daytona Beach). — Auction ends this Sunday at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET) — — LOW RESERVE PRICE — Someone's going to own this car this weekend, but if you want insure you'll be that lucky person, I have set a more-than-fair Buy It Now price, which gives you the opportunity to secure the purchase of this car immediately. You won't be able to restore a 1984 Trans Am, to this level, for less money than my Buy It Now price. To give you a basic example of what went into this car and the attention to detail, I spent close to $500 just having the steering wheel, shifter, and e-brake knobs restored! I know that I am totally upside-down on this one, and—as they say—my loss is your gain. But as long as you are a 3rd generation Pontiac Trans Am lover, and you want to have a good car to enjoy for years to come, I am okay with that. Thank you for your interest! The Small Print: Please bid ONLY if you intend to buy. Buyer must submit a $1000 PayPal deposit within 24 hours of end of auction, and buyer agrees to pay any remaining balance within 7 days of the close of the auction. Payment in full and title transfer are required before buyer can take delivery of the car. Once the transaction is complete, car must be removed within 10 days after transfer is complete. Car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, NO WARRANTY.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
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."
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.
