This is one of the nicest classic 1978 Firebird Trans-Am's you could hope to find.  My consignor is only the second owner.  The original owner bought it new and ordered it loaded with options including T-Tops, AC, performance package, special suspension, 4 speed gear box, and 400 cu. in. engine.  He lived in the Texas and the current owner has kept it indoors in inclement weather so it's never seen salt.  He's replaced some things to upgrade the vehicle even more including polished cast aluminum wheels with 225/70/15 tires, replacement of the engine with freshly rebuilt 1968 Bonneville 428.   That engine has new timing chain, Melling oil pump, TRW standard size rings, Cleevite Main and Rod bearings, and new camshaft bearings.   That was only 3000 miles ago and since then it's seen ONLY Mobil One synthetic oil.  A new Heavy Duty clutch was installed as well as Borg Warner 4 speed when the engine was swapped.   Super T walnut steering wheel replaced the original.  New battery and fresh brake pads have recently been installed and the discs polished.  The radio was upgraded to a combination CD/Cassette, AM/FM stereo with premium speakers.   The car was re-painted and full correct decals applied.  Summit Racing Sub frame connectors were installed along with new 3 chamber Flow Master exhaust system.    Rear window louvers were installed.  A vintage analog CB radio was installed. (don't ask!)  Full K/N air filers and new radiator hoses have recently been installed.  The stock 100 MPH speedo was replaced with 160 MPH model with correct odometer.  New carpet and embroidered (red bird) floor mats front and rear were added.  This car is in fantastic condition with the only fault being the non-functioning tachometer.

    Questions
are always welcome but please read the entire description before asking. The answer is probably in the description. If you wish to communicate with me AFTER the auction ends, please include your email address in your question because eBay messge forwarding will NOT allow me to reply after the auction has closed. Please use "
ask seller a question" link above for brief questions and feel free to call me at 603-357-5040 during the day with longer questions or those requiring complex answers.   As a licensed auctioneer, I sell a wide range of items but my expertise is in consumer electronics and antiques, so please bear with me if my description of items outside those areas are weaker.  
    .


I make every effort to treat others as I  wish to be treated.  Here are my rules and terms:
    I Guarantee items to match the description.  Items that differ substantially from the description may be returned at buyer's expense for refund of BID price ONLY.
     Items that substantially match the description but NOT the buyer's expectations MAY NOT be returned.  

      I make every effort to describe items accurately and completely and to be conservative in my claims.   Some items, like auto stereo components may NOT be returned once the package has been opened and items described as NEW and that qualify for manufacturer's warranty may NOT be returned but should be delivered to manufacturer or manufacturer's authorized warranty service facility for repair in the event of failure during the warranty period.  If you request it, I will furnish a retail bill of sale to support your warranty claim.

    I NEVER charge "handling charges" or any other bogus added fees or Sales Tax.  My "shipping" charges DO include cost of packing material and are averaged so a few buyers pay less than my actual cost, and a few somewhat more.  


                                                  Shipping
Charges
for lower 48 by my choice of delivery method are quoted at the Bottom of the page.  I assume buyer will be on the opposite coast when I estimate shipping and reserve the right to charge less if buyer is much closer.   Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii are usually higher so please ask for quotation before bidding.
 Pickup:
Item may be picked up at Interface, 660 Main Street, Keene, NH 03431 except in auctions of items so large or heavy that they are retained by the owner. In those cases, payment is made to me but pickup is from location of item. Location and instructions for getting there will be furnished to winner.  If you Pick the item up  NO shipping charges or sales tax will be due.

 Options
:  I prefer to ship lightweight items by mail and heavier items by UPS ground for lowest cost but will entertain requests to ship by other methods if buyer is willing to pay the additional cost.     UPS requires a street address and will NOT deliver to a PO box so buyers lacking a street address may have to pay additional cost for delivery by mail. (and insurance, if desired)
 International shipments are usually shipped by parcel post (lowest cost) and buyer has the option of air or surface transport. Very lightweight items are always mailed via Air Mail.  Postal rules limit weight and box size and vary by destination country, so some items MUST be shipped by commercial shipper.  In those cases I utilize UPS.   I'll be happy to quote shipping outside the lower 48 on request.  

   


                                                                       Packing
    I pack professionally using sturdy cartons, padded envelopes, and ample quantities of foam peanuts and/or bubble wrap to insure that items I ship arrive undamaged and so have VERY few items damaged in shipping.  I double box high value items to conceal the contents from prying eyes.  When practical, I re-use packing materials in an effort to minimize environmental impact and keep material cost down.
     Postal insurance is expensive so I don't insure low value items (under $100)  shipped by parcel post but UPS provides free insurance for the first hundred dollars value so I ALWAYS insure items shipped by UPS.
      I offer the option of insurance to international customers who request it and are willing to pay the additional cost.


                                                        Payment Options
I offer a wide range of payment options including:

  Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover charge cards and PAYPAL (Both bank and card funded), EFT.  EFT payment must be received at least 3 days prior to picking up item. If you have any questions about these terms, please call or email me.
    Customers in the United States and Canadian  wishing to  pay with a charge card, may call me with card information subject to the condition that the shipping address furnished MUST match the billing address for the card.  
I will NOT ship to an address differing from the billing address.
    International customers (except Canadians) must pay with either EFT or by PayPal     Of course, I accept US cash for items picked up but NOT for items shipped, in accordance with eBay rules.
    I do NOT accept COD orders.
    Items paid for with secured funds will normally be shipped on the 1st business day following receipt of funds. Items paid for by EFT will ship 3 days after receipt of funds by my bank.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For 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.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek

Tue, Jul 11 2017

Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.
