I recently bought this car to restore. Recent changes have taken this dream away. The reason I purchased this was because of the lack of rust. I looked at quite a few Grand Am vehicles and none came close to this on as far as the condition of the body is concerned.

The inside of the doors & door seams look close to new as does the inside of the rear quarters, front fenders & hood. The quarters and front fenders look very good from the outside also. Very minimal surface rust on right rear quarter behind the wheel well. The trunk floor is rock solid with very little surface rust inside. The front and back bumpers are very solid with minimal surface rust. The trunk lid had some rust at the rear but I had a body shop fix it correctly. The floor is solid except for two small areas of rust from the inside of the front drivers and passengers pans. The underneath of the pans look good except for those two small spots. This car was rust-proofed when new. The rest of the inside of the car is virtually rust free.

The seats have been re-upholstered but it looks like they were dome very inexpensively. I think they just sewed new material onto the existing front. They should be re-done correctly. The door panels look good The headliner is good except in the front where it came off the taping that holds it in place. I think it can be re-taped. Both power windows work. The carpet is like new. As far as I can tell all electrical works fine. The sill plates are missing

I know very little about the engine and driveline. I confirmed that it is matching # engine 400 2BBL. It did start right up cold at 10 degrees when I took it off the trailer. I drove it a couple times and it ran and shifted well. I only went a couple blocks as I do not have it licensed. Both Exhaust manifolds have leaks. The previous owner decided he wanted headers on the car and attempted to take off the passenger side manifold without using heat. He busted three of the bolts before giving up. I can feel the bolt ends so they should come off with heat when the manifold is taken off. There is some surface rust in the engine compartment but not too bad. It is where the original rust-proofing on the wheel wells let go. The air conditioning compressor is gone. Other than that it all looks stock. The nose piece is fiberglass (not the original Rubber) and needs some fiberglass repair in one small spot but good other than that. The front grill are included but not on the car. The Wheels are original and look good, the trim rings are nice and the tires are new. The spare is original and the jack is included.

That is about all I can tell you as I have not had a chance to drive this car much. To address the exhaust manifold leaks, you will probably need to pull the intake and heads. I think this car could go to paint with very little body work needed. The interior, engine compartment and trunk areas would be very easy to make nice too.

$500.00 non refundable deposit to be paid via Paypal within 48 Hours of end of auction. The rest to be cash and the car to be picked up within 14 days after end of auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy it. No guarantees come with this car. It is going on 39 years old and will need some work. Please email or call with questions. I will do my best to answer them. Tom 608-212-9011

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
