This is a beautiful 1978 t-top Trans Am, body is amazing!! Look at the pictures, all wheel well edges are still sharp and the underside is clean. Previous owner said it's the matching numbers 400 but I can't say for sure, so I've set the reserve as though it's not. I took a picture of the engine code from just under the passenger side head but I can't decode it anywhere, it looks more similar to a 455 code though, also the heads have a 5G casting on them which a quick search suggests 455 too. Whatever it is it runs strong with long tube headers and true dual exhaust, small cam, edelbrock intake, after market distributor. Automatic transmission shifts great (original shifter is in the trunk) and has a tranny cooler. Rear suspension has traction bars installed, someone was definitely building a mild pro street. Brakes are good. Lights, blinkers, wipers all work. Windshield is being replaced tomorrow, it has a crack you can't see in the pic. Heater hoses are looped back into engine so no heat right now, original AC car but no compressor anymore, radio not working but 6x9 speakers are installed in rear valance. I'll post more interior pics tomorrow, front seats are nice but not original,sorry about the garage pics but there is bad weather right now, I'll take better outdoor pics if it clears up. Paint is good. I took a quick buffer to it and shined up nice, a real buff job would make it real good. T-tops work great and don't leak, tires are great, new alternator and starter. Car is a blast to drive!! Tires are great, 205's in the front 225's in the rear. Reserve is very low!!! Before the auction ends please ask any questions you want, ask for pictures, come see it, bring a mechanic, I have nothing to hide! After the auction ends is not the time for that. Click the "shipping and payments" tab above to see what it would cost to get the Trans Am brought to you! I have tested the car and found no mechanical issues, however I will not tell you you can drive it anywhere, that's up to you. Recommend hauling. If you'd like to talk to me, send a message with your number and I'll call you. DATA PLATE: 78 2FS87 N 270908 74B A51 11L 11U 05D A31 WS4 CA1 9704?7 On Mar-17-14 at 16:13:17 PDT, seller added the following information: I've added more pictures but ebay will only let me put 24 so if you would like more send me a message with what you want to see and I'll send them to you privately. I put a picture of a little bubble starting, there are 3 or 4 of those but that is the worst. Windows go up and down smoothly, doors open and close flush (drivers door does sag a touch when you open it, but not enough to effect the opening or closing of it). Back right overhead seatbelt doesn't retract. Aftermarket Tach pictured is not hooked up. The seats in there are electric but not hooked up yet. These are things I noticed today when really trying to nit pick. |

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
