1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. I purchased this car as seen in the picture with it on the U-Haul auto transport. The car barely ran & didn't move under its own power as the transmission was damaged. The non original engine (orange one my hoist) was shot, so I grabbed a spare and had it rebuilt (I have the paperwork for the rebuild so buyer can see). It has about 9.1:1 compression ratio compared to the stock compression ratio of 7.6:1. The transmission is a rebuilt TH350 with s stock torque converter. The rear differential that came in the car was a 4.33:1 geared rear, anyone who knows Pontiac engines knows that a 4.33:1 gear ratio is way too steep, something like 3.42:1 or lower works better, so for use on the highway I installed a 2.41:1 posi differential to replace the drag differential. This current engine is more than capable of moving this car like it has a 4.10:1 gear ratio. The Rochester Quadrajet is a rebuilt off a 1972 Pontiac GTO 400, the intake is painted alumiblast & is also off a 1971/72 400 without EGR provision. I have a rebuilt starter, rebuilt power steering pump, new 100amp chrome plated one wire alternator, new water pump & divider plate, new fuel pump, hoses, belts, 4 row radiator, new battery, new battery cables, new brake master cylinder, rebuilt front brake calipers, new brake pads, new brake wheel cylinders, new brake shoes, new fuel tank, new fuel sending unit, new header back exhaust system from Jeg's High Performance, new door handles & locks, new stereo (CD, AM/FM w/Aux inputs), interior cleaned up, new door seals (rubber), new trunk seal (rubber), new poly body mounts, new rear shackles, new rear bushings & new windshield. The pictures of the car with the Pontiac Rally II rims are the rims that are currently on the car, however, I will include the 15x8 snowflake rims also pictured on the car, the tires are on another vehicle but I do have the correct lug nuts & center caps. The engine has 3-4 hours of run time plus about 70 miles since the rebuild. this car has some rust issues such as the spot on the hood, the rocker panels and some surface imperfections. I will be shooting close ups of the rust this week, it is a nice driver quality car that could use a repaint and some more finishing touches. My specialty is working on the stop and go and not body repair, this car runs good and drives great especially down the highway at 70mph keeping up with the rest of traffic. This car could be driven home without issue, I would not hesitate driving this car across country as is. the seats are the only interior part that I didn't have the money to recover so that is the only thing left in the interior to be done. This car is in really good shape for being 37 years old, please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When 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:
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
