This is a beautiful 1978 t-top Trans Am, body is amazing!!  Look at the pictures, all wheel well edges are still sharp and the underside is clean.  Previous owner said it's the matching numbers 400 but I can't say for sure, so I've set the reserve as though it's not.  I took a picture of the engine code from just under the passenger side head but I can't decode it anywhere, it looks more similar to a 455 code though, also the heads have a 5G casting on them which a quick search suggests 455 too.  Whatever it is it runs strong with long tube headers and true dual exhaust, small cam, edelbrock intake, after market distributor.  Automatic transmission shifts great (original shifter is in the trunk) and has a tranny cooler.  Rear suspension has traction bars installed, someone was definitely building a mild pro street. Brakes are good.  Lights, blinkers, wipers all work.  Windshield is being replaced tomorrow, it has a crack you can't see in the pic.  Heater hoses are looped back into engine so no heat right now, original AC car but no compressor anymore, radio not working but 6x9 speakers are installed in rear valance. I'll post more interior pics tomorrow, front seats are nice but not original,sorry about the garage pics but there is bad weather right now, I'll take better outdoor pics if it clears up. Paint is good.  I took a quick buffer to it and shined up nice, a real buff job would make it real good. T-tops work great and don't leak, tires are great, new alternator and starter.  Car is a blast to drive!!  Tires are great, 205's in the front 225's in the rear.  Reserve is very low!!!  Before the auction ends please ask any questions you want, ask for pictures, come see it, bring a mechanic, I have nothing to hide!  After the auction ends is not the time for that.  Click the "shipping and payments" tab above to see what it would cost to get the Trans Am brought to you!  I have tested the car and found no mechanical issues, however I will not tell you you can drive it anywhere, that's up to you.  Recommend hauling.  If you'd like to talk to me, send a message with your number and I'll call you.

I've added more pictures but ebay will only let me put 24 so if you would like more send me a message with what you want to see and I'll send them to you privately.  I put a picture of a little bubble starting, there are 3 or 4 of those but that is the worst. Windows go up and down smoothly, doors open and close flush (drivers door does sag a touch when you open it, but not enough to effect the opening or closing of it).  Back right overhead seatbelt doesn't retract.  Aftermarket Tach pictured is not hooked up.  The seats in there are electric but not hooked up yet.  These are things I noticed today when really trying to nit pick.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  Normally when we post about Omaze, it is about some kind of incredible car sweepstakes. Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO.  Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD  Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000  Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

Sat, Jun 19 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.
