Godfrey, Illinois, United States
This 1977
Black Pontiac Trans Am is an excellent drivers car. Car comes with the original number matching
drivetrain to include 6.6 liter engine, quadromatic carburetor, and 4- speed
automatic transmission all of which have been professionally rebuilt over the
past few years and are in perfect working order. I have
had a truly wonderful time with it over the past years but have decided that it
is time for someone else to have fun with this great Pontiac. Below is a
list of a few of the additional upgrades I have made since I purchased this TA
in 2007: Removed
all underside rust and Undercoated New reproduction wheels Replaced front breaks with Wildwood
performance disc breaks New suspension pieces to include
completely replaced leaf springs Hooker headers to new exhaust system
with flow master mufflers Replaced all locks and keys New speakers, amp, and radio (when I
bought the car it did not have one) Exterior -
Paint still looks good. She has plenty
of small superficial scratches and dents from age, but still gets all the Ooos-N-
Awes when washed and cruising down the road. Interior -
Has original interior w/some small cuts in the fabric; stains on the carpet and
a worn steering wheel. RPM gauge is faulty - works some of the time. All other gauges, lights and switches are in working order. |

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
