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 issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
