Up for auction is my very nice 1999 Pontiac Trans Am. I have owned this car since around 2001 and it has been garaged the whole time and is evident by its condition. By being a weekend or special occasion driven only car, it has only 29113 actual miles! I really hate to part with this car but I need the room in the garage and never get time to drive it. There probably will never be any more Firebirds built and you see very few on the road which is another reason that makes it so hard to let it go. The body style of this car is unmistakable and turns heads everywhere. The inside of the car is very clean and has gray leather seats with power driver side, the monsoon stereo system with CD player. The car is blast to drive an sounds awesome with the mods I have done. This Trans Am has not been abused and has never been on the the drag strip! The cam and mods make this car pull hard and fast. The idle sounds awesome and has one of the best sounds of any of the LS1 cams. I upgraded the valvetrain accordingly to handle the extra lift and duration of the cam. I have always ran Castrol full synthetic motor oil . Please see the video to hear this beast idle. The only negatives on this car is the rebuilt title due to the front clip being replaced. The car was repaired with attention to detail. Even the engine bay was clear coated as the factory does not do this. I also replaced the standard Tans Am hood with a lightweight fiberglass Ram Air hood which looks great! The driver and passenger air bags were not replaced but the covers are there and looks factory. I personally did not want to replace them and it saves weight as well. There are very few chips or scratches on this car since it has always been garaged. It will eventually need one headlight motor (about $100). The headlight motors are bad for stripping the gear inside them. It works but makes a noise as the light goes up or down. Look at the photos carefully as I have tried to photo any chips or scratches as well. I also photo'd the Goodyear tires which are also in good shape. I am starting the auction with a low bid and my reserve is very reasonable as I am taking in account the low miles and great condition of this car but also the previously repaired damage. Please message me with any questions you may have or if you would like any additional pictures. Here is a list of the mods: GM Performance parts "ASA" racing camshaft Manley valve springs Manley push rods Manley titanium retainers Self ported throttle body NGK spark plugs Texas Speed clear intake lid Texas Speed rumbler exhaust with Ractive black chrome tips PCM tuning by PCM for less Short stick shifter handle Billet red anodized "LS1" shifter handle Red push start button

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh

Tue, Jan 31 2017

The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion

Fri, May 27 2016

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.
