Purchased Feb 2012 with 1750 miles on the odometer. I'm a 53 yr old professional male, the only driver, always garaged. I have never spun the tires, they cost too much and it's hard on the car. Bought from a private collector who never drove the car. I bought this to build it into a serious street machine. I have spent a year and $22,000.00 to get this Trans Am to where it is today. I'm a performance car builder ( GTO, Trans AMs, SRT vehicles) and enthusist with lots of experience and many cars on my resume. I will e-mail you the "build resume" on this gorgeous car for you to read, it's 4 pages and would take too much to list here.
I built this to keep as it is my last project, and planned on driving it and being buried in it when I die. I along with the performance shop and a friend with 20 years experience who helps me with car projects went thru this car with a surgeons precision to make it what it is today. I'm probably the only person who would drop the front cradle and engine, suspension, transmission, gas tank and overhaul a car with 2750 miles on it, that's what I did with this TA.
I have pics of the mileage at 1750 then 2750 during the build, and 8877 as it is presently. Every piece and part has been touched, inspected or replaced as needed. The car was only driven 1750 miles over 10 years. $22,000 invested in engine, suspension, exhaust, powdercoating, wheels,tires,interior, sound system, and more...30 MPG HWY with 500 HP and the car still looks almost stock in appearance. This was built as an NHRA Trans Am from the factory, it has all the WS6 parts also.
Summary of the performance modifications: Comp Cams 228/228, Stage 2 CNC Ported Heads, American Racing Headers, B&B Triflow Quad exhaust, Koni Struts, suframe connectors, bigger swaybars, WS6 OEM Hood, Blackwing Intake, 4 layers of undercoating, interior sound deading, Stereo with a sound stage that is unbelievable until you hear it, SiriusXM, bluetooth, DVD watch movies while driving, retains factory steering wheel controls, numerous interior upgrades,it goes on & on.................
Original Laminated window sticker, 2 keys + Fobs and a folder with all the build invoices and everything else. Please ask for and read the build sheet it is descriptive and covers everything. I have other pics and a few from the build time w/2750 milles. Future Relocation forces sale.
This Trans AM drives as smooth as a new Corvette, 0-60 4 seconds flat, NO exhaust droan or road noise in the cabin, immaculate show room condition, everything and I mean everything is new on this car, top to bottom, bumper to bumper, inside and out. Folder with all invoice and expenses goes with the car, title in hand, car remains parked until sold.
OVER $42,000 INVESTED IN THIS CAR
If you are looking for a low mileage Trans Am they are getting to be rare these days, if you have always wanted the ultimate american muscle car owned by a mature owner and built to precision standards like this one only 2 choices exist:
1) try to find one under 10,000 miles that's $20-$24,000 and spend a year and $22,000 to get it to this level and performance.
2) Consider this car and spend the extra $4-$5,000 and save yourself a lot of money, I'm taking a $15,000 hair cut selling this car, and throwing in $1,500 of additional Wheels, Tires, Slotted rotors, pads, and other stuff all BRAND NEW for FREE!

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero 2M4
Sun, Oct 8 2023The mid-engined, plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero two-seater caused great excitement when it hit the streets as a 1984 model, then became something of an embarrassment for GM when its design flaws became clear to the car-buying public. Still, when a V6 engine became available for 1985, followed by a fastback roof for 1986, the air of Pontiac Excitement around the Fiero lingered to a certain extent. We took a look at a discarded '86 Fiero GT with both the 2.8-liter V6 and the fastback body last year, and now we'll take a look at an example of the econo-commuter four-cylinder notchback version from the same year. Pontiac used the 2M4 designation (standing for two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders) on four-cylinder Fieros, while the six-cylinder cars were known as 2M6s. 2M4 decals went on four-banger Fieros for the 1984-1986 model years, while 2M6 decals seem to have been applied less consistently to the V6 cars of that period. During the early development period of the car that became the Fiero, the idea was that it would be a nimble sports car with a lightweight engine. Then the plan shifted, with the Fiero intended to be a gas-sipping commuter. When the car finally hit showrooms, it was a lot heavier than intended, it had a Chevy Citation front suspension in the back plus a Chevette front suspension, and its engine was the low-revving, weighty Iron Duke 2.5-liter straight-four. The Duke was about the least sports-car-appropriate four-cylinder engine The General could dredge up from his parts bins, but it was cheap and there was no shortage of production capacity. By the time the Fiero came out, the Iron Duke had been renamed the Tech 4. This one was rated at 92 horsepower and 132 pound-feet. The V6 Fieros get all the press today, but plenty of the Duked versions were sold (amazingly, the Chevrolet Camaro was available with Iron Duke power from 1982 through 1986). The emissions sticker tells us that this was a California-market car, rather than the "49-state" model the rest of the country got. California-specific emissions hardware added $99 to this car's price ($277 in 2023 dollars). While this car is a base model, the original buyer loaded it with options. The transmission is a three-speed automatic, priced at $465 (about $1,303 in 2023 dollars). A five-speed manual was standard equipment on the 1986 Fiero, though the old-fashioned four-speed manual was still available for a $50 credit ($140 now).
Why Pontiac should come back and how it can be relevant again
Mon, Apr 17 2017When I was a kid growing up in Metro Detroit, our family was always entwined in the General Motors empire. My dad and some of our relatives worked for GM in various capacities, and we had our fair share of Chevrolet, GMC, and even Buick products in our humble driveway. However, it was my Uncle Ed that always had a vehicle from the one GM brand that always appealed to me the most: Pontiac. Seeing him pull up in his Pontiac 6000 and later the '90s era Grand Prix sedan that replaced it was always an exciting occasion, and both of these models also reflected the playful spirit that once defined the Pontiac brand. Back when Pontiac first got its performance groove on in the '60s, names such as GTO, Firebird, as well as Bonneville became iconic nameplates in the broader muscle car era. The '80s saw Pontiac lose some of its styling heritage, but also try new things at the same time including turbocharging as well as the mid-engine sports car with the flawed but still sleek Pontiac Fiero. When the Pontiac brand was shuttered in 2009, it was a mere few years after I earned my drivers license, and also when Pontiac was just beginning to regain some of its lost luster. Granted cookie cutter efforts like the Pontiac G3, (Chevrolet Aveo) G5, (Chevrolet Cobalt) and G6 (Chevrolet Malibu) certainly did not help matters during Pontiac's final years on the market, but two models in particular offered a compelling glimpse into what could've been for the storied brand. The first was the Pontiac Solstice roadster/coupe. Originally introduced as a concept back in 2004, and championed by everyone's fighter jet flying auto executive Bob Lutz, the Solstice was designed to be a serious competitor to the Mazda Miata, and while its interior ergonomics were flawed and the top solution not ideal. It proved to be a fun little car to drive, and also a sales success for Pontiac with initial demand exceeding expectations.This was especially due to its lineup of engines with the 2.0 liter LHU turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 260 horsepower in GXP variants. The second and (inarguably my favorite Pontiac model) was the Pontiac G8 sedan. Originating in Australia as the Holden Commodore VE, the G8 was designed to rectify the multitude of sins created by the last generation Bonneville. Front wheel drive was pitched in favor of rear wheel drive, and for the first time in a long time interior ergonomics and cladding free exterior styling were key building blocks for success.
Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo
Tue, Jan 10 2017The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.
