Up for auction is my project SSE. I bought this car from out of state with the intention of restoring it since it was in relatively good condition. However, when I went to go get it, there were MANY things that were not stated that were wrong with the car. I'll get into that in the Known Issues section. 


The Good:

Car runs really strong for the miles. Those of you who know of the bullet-proof 3.8L, this is a perfect example of this. No hesitations at all to take this cross country. 
Trans shifts really good. Had all fluids changed and shifts well and strong. 
Paint does not have any fading however it is dull on the rear decklid. I havent tried to buff out this section yet but the rest of the car looks/shines very well. 
This is an East coast car so there is minor rust accumulating on the interior engine bay area. and surface rust on certain parts of the undercarriage. After inspecting, nothing abnormally wrong or I would state it. 
There is a dent the size or a basketball on the fender on the front drivers fender and rear fender as well. Easy pop out if you have time. 
All electrical works: windows, locks, sunroof, seats, articulating seats, cruise, steering wheel controls, radio, dash components, computer display and compass. 
Interior shows REALLY nice!!!! I detailed the hell out of it as it was poorly neglected. I took out all the seats and shampooed and did a few other things. Very little staining anywhere actually. Looks really good. Leather is about an 8/10 all around except drivers lower portion. I have a seat on order but been waiting over a month so I amm not waiting anymore. If I get the seat, it of course will come with the car and the interior seating will be perfect. 
Headliner is in tact and not sagging anywhere. Sunroof visor is missing the lining and will need to be replaced but barely noticeable when the shade it retracted. Sunroof works perfectly. There is a sign of previous leakage and there is a spot on the seal (rim of the glass) that will need replacing or a touch up of some sealant. 
Dash isn't buckling/warping anywhere and is perfect. 
Trunk as a air compressor feature with the hose and all works perfect. this literally can inflate any tire from the trunk! Really cool feature. 
Tires are all miss-matched but all have over 50% tread left in each. 

Known Issues:

So, after I got the car, this is what I found...
Front shocks are gone and passenger front is making a noise on bumps. Looks like the strut is loose at the tower brace. 
Rear shocks and air suspension works just fine and holds air as it should. 
Brakes are warped - nuff said. 
Engine - there is a loud whining noise from either the power steering or A/C compressor pulley. This is NOT tranny. I had it inspected and it's from the pulley area. 
A/C does not work. Compressor engages and the clutch works but I havent tried to recharge it and see if it holds. 
Power windows are slow in the front...typical for this age. 
Pass front window I repaired to get it back on track and there was previous work that was shotty work inside so I fixed it as best I could. Rolls up and down as it should
I degreased the engine and looks like the trans pan gasket and oil pan gaskets will eventually need replacing. There is slow seepage there. 

I think that's about it. Overall not a bad ride or a commuter car for the money I guess. Restore if you love these cars in this body style or nickle it to use as a runner...all I know is that it's 1 of 4 cars that I have and I need to liquidate. 

Let me know if you have questions. 

Obviously no warranties are implied and I stated everything that I know to be good and bad with the car. If you need answers, ask. No low balling. I am not desperate to sell.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
