RESTORED  1979 PONTIAC TRANS AM WITH 4SPD AND T-TOPS

 

This vehicle was restored about 2-3 years ago.  I bought it from the previous owner who was the person who restored it as far as I know.  It is blue with white interior.  I has a 400 cu Pontiac engine which is not original to the car although it is a correct engine for Trans Am.  The vehicle was purchased by the previous owner and then gone through in detail, painted, new decals applied, all new weather stripping and the interior was done in white which is a custom color.  You can see that the entire interior of the car was redone very tastefully.  This is not a crazy custom restoration.  Even though the interior color was changed and done in white it looks very authentic and nice.  It has 4 spd transmission.  Please look at the pictures and you will get a good idea as to the condition of the car.  The interior is in great condition.  Paint is in very good condition.  Engine and transmission and all the other parts of the car were gone through and updated/restored as part of the restoration process.  I am not sure and cannot guarantee the original mileage on the car.  The car looks and presents very nicely.  All the weather stripping and glass and instruments are in very good restored condition.  The car has been stored in a covered garage since I purchased it.  I have not been able to use the car that much since I purchased the vehicle.  That is the reason why I decided to sell.  I am so busy with work and do not really have time to spend enjoying the car.  It should be driven and enjoyed and I am not able to do that.  The car is not a show car and I am not representing that the restoration was done to make this a show car. It was restored to make it a very nice and clean driver. The previous owner at one point sent me the progress photos of the restoration process which showed the car being done from complete strip to paint and interior and engine etc.  Unfortunately I was not able to locate them as I failed to saved them independently.   The reserve is  set at a very reasonable number.  However, please do not ask me to reveal the reserve.  Also, instead of sending e-mails and asking what I am asking for the car, please feel free to make any offer you would like to make and I will respond and tell you if your offer will do it.  We can go from there. If you would like to see and inspect the car, please make sure you contact me ahead of time, the auction is for 7 days.  If you win the auction that is not the time to inspect and decide whether you want to buy it.  It is time to pay, with all due respect.

Junkyard Gem: 1984 Pontiac Fiero with supercharged 3800 V6 swap

Tue, Dec 31 2019

Like the Corvair, the Vega, and the Citation, the Pontiac Fiero was a very innovative machine that ended up causing General Motors more headaches than happiness, and Fiero aficionados and naysayers continue to beat each other with tire irons (figuratively speaking, I hope) to this day. The General has often proved willing to take the occasional big gamble and huge GM successes in engineering prowess (including the first overhead-valve V8 engine for the masses and the first real-world-usable true automatic transmission) and marketing brilliance (e.g., the Pontiac GTO and related John DeLorean home runs) meant that the idea of a mid-engined sporty economy car (or economical sports car) got a shot from the suits on the 14th floor. Sadly, the Fiero ended up being the marketplace victim of too many issues to get into here, and The General pulled the plug immediately after the 1988-model-year suspension redesign that made the Fiero the sports car it should have been all along. But what if the plastic Pontiac had never suffered from the misery of the gnashy, pokey Iron Duke engine and had been built from the start with a screaming supercharged V6 making way better than 200 horsepower? The final owner of today's Junkyard Gem sought to make that very Fiero, by dropping in one of the many supercharged 3.8-liter V6s installed in 1990s and 2000s GM factory hot rods. The first Fieros came out in 1983 for model year 1984, and the only engine available that year was the Iron Duke 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which generated its 92 horsepower with the full-throated song of a Soviet tractor stuck in the freezing mud of a Polish sugar-beet field. The 2M4 badging stood for "two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders," just as the numbers in the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 once represented "four carburetor barrels, four-speed manual transmission, dual exhaust." This car is a top-trim-level SE model, which listed for $9,599 (about $24,200 today). The no-frills Fiero cost just $7,999 that year, making these cars far cheaper than the only other reasonably affordable new mid-engined car Americans could buy at that time: the $13,990 Bertone (aka Fiat) X1/9. The Toyota MR2 appeared in North America as a 1985 model with a base price of $10,999 and promptly siphoned off the car-buying cash from a bunch of potential Fiero shoppers.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
