   Engine: XA Code with 400 stamped on side
   Transmission: M21 Close Ratio 4 speed

   Paint still looks good with no signs of any major damage over the years.

   Engine to my knowledge is bone stock except someone over the years has replaced the intake manifold with an Edelbrock and added Hedman Headers without any cutting off the frame or braces etc.

   The engine sounds and runs excellent, no smoking and the transmission shifts excellent through the gears up and down 4 speed H pattern.

   New Exhaust has been added with dual Magnaflow mufflers as seen in the pics.

   The bad News:  Car does have rust in the following areas: Right Quarter Panel, Right Gutter Trunk Side, Right/Left Front and Rear Floor sections and battery tray....I have an estimate from a local classic car restoration shop for repairs totaling $2,185.00 for labor plus parts. Most all parts can be purchased from Ecklers or Classic Industries Parts and Accessories. 

   The Interior needs re-done including the headliner with an estimate of $3,000.00 for new seat covers, floor carpet and headliner, door package...Labor only plus parts.

   A lot of these prices can vary from shop to shop and depending on how much you can do yourself.

   Just had new Interstate Battery installed.

   Original stock wheels are in great shape with approx. 80% rubber left on Raised White Letter Grand Am Radial GT's 235/60R15 tires.

   All glass is in great shape and windows roll up and down good with doors opening and closing properly.

   A/C Compressor is disconnected but appears the compressor is working ok, just needing new belt and probably R134 freon.

   All interior gauges and lights work except the clock on dash.

   Brakes reportedly are in great shape, no squeaking and stops properly with good compression on brake pedal.

   Also have original 4 speed Shifter Handle, Currently has Hurst T-handle on shifter.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon
