Church Hill, Tennessee, United States

Im offering up one of the jewels of my personal stash! this is a complete, NEVER wrecked, NEVER blown, NEVER molested 1976 Trans Am 455/4spd car. It has only had the OEM radio and the A/C compressor removed. The a/c lines were not damaged and remain intact. It  DOES RUN and DRIVE! This car was discovered in a local mans basement a couple years ago by a buddy of mine, where it had been setting since july of 1995! This is an original all OEM 455 car. The car needs and is certainly worthy of a ground up restoration. Everytime I drive this car I catch myself looking in the glove box for my Eagles 8-track! It runs, drives, and feels like a Trans Am should, tight and quick! The engine has been massaged and has a nice torquey sound and feel.

THE BODY - Suffers from the all too typical rust as most T/As do, However its effects are limited to the qtr panels and the floor pan.  THERE IS NO RUST OUT! In the drain trays, trunk floor, cowl panel, or sub rails! The RT Qtr will require full replacement, the LFT Qtr needs the panel behind the wheel opening. a small area in the pass front floor and the toe bd on the drivers floor. The car has never had a repaint. There are new replacements for the missing fender foilers included

THE INTERIOR -  Shows typical wear for a T/A of these yrs. there are no components missing. Most of the interior is tired, however the steering wheel/column are in good condition, the upper door panels are nice, the lowers are salvageable as well. the console is nice and its solid. The headliner and sail panels are most likely canidates for replacement as well. the dash is crack free. The OEM radio is missing but all other components are intact. A new carpet kit is included.

THE ENGINE - Is smooth and powerful. It appears to have been rebuilt or @ least warmed over. It has what feels and  sounds like a Ram Air III cam, headers and new dual exhaust. The tranny is the correct muncie with OEM shifter. The clutch is toast and needs replaced. Not having to rebuilding the engine saves a boatload of cash on the restoration. The A/C pump has been removed, but the lines have been covered to protect em.

 

 Im selling this car as-is where-is. I fully expect the winning bidder to pick this up in East TN. I will assist with loading onto your carrier I have so many projects that Ima lifetime behind, thats the only reason Im letting it go. It will make an excellent restoration of one of pontiacs finest examples of horsepower and grace. I am more than willing to provide any information that will allow a bidder to make a well informed intelligent decision. Please ask any questions you might have. The winning bidder will be required to make a deposit of $1000.00 thru paypal @ the end of the auction with the balance due in cash or certified funds upon pick up. If you have a boatload of neg feedback you need to contact me before bidding. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck!

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
