1979 Trans Am 10th Anniversary

I have owned this car for about 7 or 8 years now. I originally bought the car from a Texas pawn shop. The shop told me the original owner traded the car for something there at the shop and it was a smallish town as everyone was familiar with the car. This is the original miles on the car. Everything is original on the car and the motor has never been removed from the car. I have many Trans Ams and the time has come for me to sell one or two of them. They are all kept in a garage at my house and I have probably put less than 1000 miles on this car in the time I have owned it. I will describe the car as accurately as I can. I have sold many cars on eBay and have not had a problem with the buyers expectations of the car based on my description.

Exterior- the exterior has been reprinted at some point before I bought the car. The paint job has held up fine since I have had it. In 8 years it has not deteriorated much so I assume the paint job is decent quality. It is not perfect as there are nicks, scrapes and scratches. Nothing major, probably an 8 out of 10 quality. Not show quality but a very good driver quality. I have just had the wheels completely refinished in base coat clear coat paint and the tires are BRAND NEW. The T-tops still have the storage bags and are in great condition and so are all the seals and weatherstrip. It looks like they replaced them when they painted it. The passenger side front grill cracked and a piece is missing (should be able to see in pictures). The other side did the same thing about 4 years ago and I replaced it. Just haven't gotten around to ordering this side yet. All the lights work and look good with no yellowing or cracks. All the glass is good and I had the power antenna replaced for the factory 8-track so it would go up and down as the factory designed.

Interior- I had the interior done after buying the car and can provide reciepts for new door panels, headliner and carpet. The seats have the original silver leather and don't have any fading, cracks or tears. I replaced the console lid and dyed it but the silver dye is starting to come off in a small area (may be able to see in pics?). All the lights, horn, gauges, windows, heat, defrost, seat belts, radio and everything else works on the car. When I got the car I had it charged with R12 as it had not been converted to the new freon yet and it blew good and cold. Over the years it has leaked out and I never had it converted to R134 and never found any more R12 to charge it with. The interior is overall in great condition and I would rate it a 9 or 9.5 out of 10

Drivetrain- The drivetrain is original to the car. The motor has never been out of the car and it still shows its factory blue paint well. You can see a little oil starting to leak from the back of the drivers valve cover but it never leaves and visible oil on the garage floor. It still starts right up and runs like I imagine it did from the factory with no noises or smoking at all. When I got the car I went through it completely and replaced all the fluids, belts, brakes, and hoses. The transmission is also the original however I did have it out of the car. One day I went out to the garage and noticed a puddle of transmission fluid under the car so I took it in for repair. It was the front pump seal that was leaking so I had it replaced. He said the transmission had never been out of the car and that the clutches looked a little dark so I told him to replace whatever it needed even though it had always shifted perfectly and still does. There is no shift kit or converter in this car so it has a factory feel and goes in and out of all the gears easily. I have not taken this car on any longer than an hour or so trip, but have never had a problem starting, driving or operating this car in any way.

If you have any questions please let me know. I'm sure I have left something out or forgotten something and I will update the listing as these things come to mind.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
