 This is a PHS documented WS code Tri-power 4 speed air conditioned GTO.  The AC system has been completely refurbished (valves, diaphragms, control panel, etc.) and converted to 134 A by a retired AC Delco specialist. 

Being an original California car sold new at Corcoran Motors in Fremont, it is a zero rust vehicle.  It has power steering and brakes along with a tilt column, woood wheel, vacuum gauge, exhaust splitters and accessory 4-way flasher.  The facotry AM-FM radio received an upgraded circutry retrofit while maintaining it's completely stock appearance.  All systems function properly inclusive of lights, turn signals, horn, wipers and washer system, courtesy and back-up lamps, parking brake lamp and complete rally gauge cluster. 

The F70x14 redlines are in excellent condition along with a 7.75x14 redline spare and restored jack assembly.  It has T-3 headlamps as well.

The body is very straight overall.  A very minor amount of work appears to have been done over the wheel well on the driver's side 1/4 panel, but can only be noticed under close scrutiny.  The fontaine blue paint is a base and clear coated application.  It has a few small touch ups and blemishes , but receives compliments and shows quite nicely.  The chrome is excellent with the only negative being a 1 1/4 " crack in the tail panel moulding (see Picture).  The tail end back-up lamp bezels are new.

The seat covers, headliner, doorpanels, and carpeting have been replaced.  All of the console chrome is new.  There are a few hairline cracks in the passenger side corner of the dashpad and a small split in the driver's side rear panel (see pictures).  Aftermarket gauges had been installed at one point, leaving the small openings for the screws under the dashboard center.

The engine is aWS code block with the proper 77 heads and a casting date of L-4-4 (December '64) .  It performs nicely and is coupled to a smooth shifting 4 speed with the proper shift assembly.  The rear is dated L-6-4 (December '64) with a WF stamp on the passenger side, indicating a standard 3:23 ratio which was applicable to air conditioned vehicle.

The exhaust system appears to be galvanized and was on the car at the time of my purchase. 

I STRONGLY URGE anyone interested to view the car in person.  Please bid only if serious. A $1,000 paypal deposit is due within 48 hours of auction closing.  A wire transfer is preferable for the remaining balance.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General 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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
