PHS Documented included to buyer showing rare WS7 option!

The Trans AM has a Clear “California Title” in my name and Registration is current! 

Has Original Blue and Yellow color License Plate!!  

There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas!  Car is Rust Free!!!

This is a nice and rare factory equipped “WS7” performance handling package.  Only a certain number of Trans Am were produced with this suspension which is the same as the WS6 suspension except it does not have the rear disc brake brakes and was factory built with rear drum brakes.  It does have the front disc brakes and performance like the WS6 suspension! 

I do have the PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) Documents listing this rare WS7 Performance Suspension and will be included to the buyer. 

The Trans Am has the original 403 CID Engine.  The  VIN Number stamped on the engine  matches the VIN number on the dash!!!! (see photos of VIN numbers stamped on engine block).

 The engine runs nice and smooth with good power!!  The engine has not been altered and is very original!  I don’t know if it has the original miles stated on the odometer which reads 38,614.

The Trans AM has all its smog required emissions and will easily pass the California Smog Test!!! (passed the smog test on March 2014 with no issues! I can supply a copy of the smog certificate if needed!!).

The transmission is a Turbo Hydromatic 350 and possibly is the original transmission but I could not locate the VIN Number, so I will not say it’s matching numbers.  The transmission shifts smoothly and has no problems!  

The Car was built in Van Nuys, California and has no rust!

The front suspension has been rebuilt with new upper and lower control arm ball joints and bushings.  Front sway bar link bushings were also replaced. 

Has new Rear leaf springs rubber pads installed!!

New Front brake calipers and brakes!  Rear brakes have been also replaced and are in good condition.

New gas tank!!  Rubber fuel lines have also been replaced!

New Duralast Battery!

New weather stripping installed! (doors close a bit hard due to new weather stripping and door hinges will also need to be slightly adjusted/replaced).    

The car has a very nice and Shiny “Star Light” Black Paint job with nice SE (special edition) Decals!!!!!  The Trans AM was restored and painted approx. 3 years ago.  The body is straight and free from dents and rust.  There are no major dings on the Trans Am other than the normal road debris scratches.  

There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas!  Car is Rust Free!!!

Original 15X8 Inch wheels which have been polished!!  

All four wheels look like new!! All four Center Wheel Caps are in good condition!!  Front tires are Goodyear Radial  245-60-15 and the rear tires are BFGoodrich 275-60-15.  Car was stored for a while and tires might need to be replaced.

Original Steering Wheel with functional horn!!

Original front and rear seat frames.  Seats have been reupholstered and are in like new condition!

New black Headliner with no tears!

T-Tops are in very good condition with no cracks!

Clean door panels!!

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced

Mon, Jan 29 2024

DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall
