1976 Trans Am. My older brother bought this car in about 1980 and had in storage the last twenty years. He was in the process of restoring it when a stroke ended his life and it's been a couple years since and I had some time available so I finished his project as sort of a tribute to his love of this car. He had a son and two daughters. The Engine, Tranny and Car Vin numbers all match. He had put a small lift cam in at some point but was not to radical as you can hear it blub at  a idle a little and the car runs just fine. The Drivers seat has a some small tears but outside of that the interior is completely 95% intact as it came from the factory new. The seat covers in the pictures were put in twenty years ago and I would recover the seat or have an apholstery shop repair the drivers seat as it is rare to find a original seat cover in this condition. The stick shift and the shift knob both say Hurst on them. The motor is a 400 with 4 speed manual transmission. Anyway interior is all original. Classic Industries sell new authentic upholstery for $269 dollars a set for the front seats. I left the old School fuzzy seat covers on for the time being and decided whoever buys it could have the seat covers repaired or to have new covers put on would be up to them. The engine compartment is how it was when I got the car and is not perfect but is pretty much original condition and still needed to have the auto polish from the paint job cleaned off the air cleaner etc. The radiator support looks like it may have been straightened in the past.  The tires are BF Goodrich TA's 265/50/15's in the front and 275/50/\15's in the rear. Apparently this size of tire is no longer available in 50's but they were in good shape, had plenty of tread left in them and fit the looks of the car so I replaced the corroded SS Cragers with brand new ones and they look great on this set up. After replacing all the rubber molding on the doors and trunk they all shut hard but I assume that settles in after a while. They shut fine before the new molding was put on and seems to be getting better the longer it's on. Car needed new alternator and wiper motor so they are both new or rebuilt. New headlight switch so dash lights dim correctly. Car comes with original inflateable spare tire and like new original jack. Large firebird decal could use to be replaced if you want it to be perfect. Tack and Speedometer work fine as does the odometer. Car shows 65,152 miles as of now but above I added some for driving around getting the bugs out. I put in new plug wires and spark plugs. The wires were shot and now the car runs pretty darn good. 4 barrels needed some lubrication and freeing up put seem to work as intended now. I put in a new K & N air filter and had the brakes all re-done.  Car handles really good with the tire combination and steering is really fast compared to cars these days. Drivers door glass has scratches that I would change out if I was keeping it for my self for show. I drove the car out to dinner and it gets a lot of thumbs up. Of all the Trans Ams years and colors I believe this is one of the sharpest looking TA made from the round headlights to the front and rear bumper covers. Want more info and any additional pictures just ask.

Pontiac and McLaren once hooked up, and it was rad

Fri, Jun 24 2022

Most of us would bend over backwards to have a chance to own a McLaren car, but few can afford such extravagance. That said, there’s a way you can get behind the wheel of a legitimate McLaren without breaking the bank. For 1989 and 1990, the Pontiac Grand Prix was offered in a limited-edition ASC-McLaren variant that featured tuning and updates from the iconic British automaker. Examples of this rare coupe rarely surface for sale, so itÂ’s surprising to see this low-mile 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix ASC-McLaren on eBay. The car is the result of a partnership between American Specialty Cars-McLaren (ASC-McLaren) and Pontiac. WeÂ’re not talking about the McLaren Formula 1 team or even the iconic McLaren road cars here. The McLaren connection comes from an arm of the automakerÂ’s powertrain engineering department. The Grand PrixÂ’s standard 3,1-liter V6 got a massage and a turbocharger, adding 65 horsepower for a total of 205 ponies and 225 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. That output is modest by todayÂ’s standards, and it wasnÂ’t outrageous even by 1990 standards, but the car returned a decent 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The $5,000 ASC-McLaren package added a load of cool 1980s tech to the Grand PrixÂ’s interior, some of which is surprisingly advanced for the time. The car got a head-up display and a digital display on the dash. The steering wheel should be delightfully familiar to anyone who remembers a top-end Pontiac of the era, with the entire center of the wheel filled with buttons instead of the airbags we see today. The car had insanely padded bucket seats front and rear(!) with a distinctive pear shape.  Many sources peg production numbers between 2,500 and 3,500 units, so the car is relatively rare compared to its mass-produced Pontiac counterparts. This oneÂ’s got just 17,746 miles on the clock, too, and appears to be in excellent condition. ItÂ’s had just two owners and no reported accidents. The seller notes a little surface rust from the car being in storage so long. This era of GM cars tended to deteriorate quickly, so a bit of surface rust shouldnÂ’t be a huge issue.

Junkyard Gem: 1968 Pontiac Catalina sedan

Wed, Aug 14 2019

During the late 1960s, General Motors ruled the American car landscape, growing so dominant that the federal government considered antitrust action to break up the company. The General offered sporty Corvettes and muscular GTOs and rugged pickups and opulent Fleetwoods, sure, but the fat part of the sales numbers came from the bread-and-butter full-sized sedans and coupes, which boasted superior engineering and modern-looking styling; in 1967 alone, the Chevrolet Division moved 972,600 full-sized cars, and that's not even counting the 155,100 full-sized Chevy station wagons that year. Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile sold the same big cars with division-specific engines and bodywork, and they flew off the showroom floors. For 1968, the entry-level full-sized car from Pontiac was the Catalina, and I've found an example of the most affordable version of the most affordable big Pontiac for 1968, discarded in a northeastern Colorado wrecking yard about 50 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. A '68 GM full-sized coupe, convertible, or even a four-door hardtop might be worth the cost and effort of a restoration, but a no-options base-trim-level post sedan with rust and plenty of body filler just won't get many takers these days. Like so many vehicles that sit outside for decades on the High Plains, this one is full of rodent nests. I wouldn't want to work on the interior of this car without a respirator and a lot of work with a shop-vac, because hantavirus is a significant danger in these parts. Alfred Sloan's plan to offer a stepladder of prestige for GM buyers, in which your first new car was a Chevrolet and you moved up through Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick until you became sufficiently prosperous for Cadillac ownership, worked brilliantly for decades. In 1968, the Catalina was a notch above its Impala sibling on the Snob-O-Meter, with the sedan starting at $3,004 (about $22,600 in 2019 dollars). In fact, the V8-equipped 1968 Chevrolet Impala sedan listed at $3,033, and the Oldsmobile Delmont 88 went for $3,146, so the lines were beginning to blur between the relative positions of the lower-end GM divisions by this time. The base engine in the 1968 Catalina was a 400-cubic-inch (6.5 liter) V8 rated at 265 horsepower and enough torque to tow an aircraft carrier.

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Pontiac Solstice

Wed, Sep 4 2019

The debut of the Pontiac Solstice, back in 2005 for the 2006 model year, stirred up much excitement in the automotive world. Sales were brisk at first, and then they weren't so great… and then Pontiac itself went under The General's cost-cutting axe. One thing I have learned during my junkyard travels is that even sought-after sports cars eventually reach a point at which they start showing up in the big self-service junkyards. For example, the BMW Z3 began appearing in such yards about five years ago, along with the Audi TT. While the Honda S2000 still appears to be exempt from this process, today's Junkyard Gem shows that the time has now come for the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky. The first Z3s and TTs I saw in the U-Wrench-type yards were crash victims, not worth fixing, and that's the case with this Solstice. In a few more years, I'll start seeing the occasional Solstice/Sky discarded due to general worn-outness. Someone grabbed all the undented front body parts and the transmission (these items, presumably, being valuable), but no junkyard shoppers have felt like pulling the non-turbo 2.0-liter Ecotec. The interior seems dirty, probably from exposure to the elements while sitting outdoors in this Colorado Springs wrecking yard, but not in bad shape otherwise. Perhaps the car's owner celebrated a return from Iraq with the purchase of a sporty new Pontiac, 13 years ago. These cars have an enthusiastic following, so I wasn't expecting to see a junked one so soon after production ceased. I felt the same way about the Chrysler Crossfire, however, and I found two of those last year. What's next, a 2002-2005 Thunderbird? This content is hosted by a third party.
