1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l 400 Automatic on 2040-cars
Rancho Cucamonga, California, United States
|
1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a running driving project car. It has the numbers matching 400 still in the car (not the 403 so it's a 49 state car), and it appears the rest of the drivetrain is original to the car as well. This car has been resto-modded a bit as you can see by the "Classic" Cragar weld wheels and a few other cues. It has the 6X heads and an aluminum intake-don't know if it's an original Pontiac piece or not. There is a Holley dual feed carburetor as well. It has a posi rear end, my research shows it should be a 3.23 or 3.42 since it is not an A/C but a heater only car.There are also headers and glasspacks with short tailpipes. It has a painless type aftermarket wiring harness with blade type fuses. It may have been a power window car, as there are switches in the door panels and a remote mirror. It is overall pretty solid, it will need patch panels in both rear quarters in front of and behind the rear wheels, and the outside corners of the floorpans as well as ther rear corners of the trunk pan and the drop panel behind the bumper. Most of the interior is present, but will need a headliner and to be reupholstered. The subframe and rear frame rails have some surface rust but nothing deep, should clean up ok. The car spent the last few years with a military man on base in Oceanside, CA and it has a clear Florida title. It does not have the California emissions so it was never titled here. I am representing this as a car in need of total restoration, but a good starting point for someone. I have no idea what the total mileage is. It will need at the very least tuning and a safety check. The transmission has a leak, probably from around the dipstick tube as there is no upper support. I have driven it around the block a couple times but that's the extent of it. Look closely at the pictures and bid away..Please message me if you have any more questions. Car is advertised locally as well, and listing will be removed if cash shows up at my door. Thanks, Steve

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.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
