This listing is for a 1978 Pontiac TransAm. I have owned this car since August 1999. When I purchased this car, it did not have the original 400 engine at all. I do have the original turbo 350 Pontiac automatic transmission. The shaker hood scoop has T/A 6.6 on it. Condition problems include: the dash is in bad condition and the headliner is completely gone. The duct work under the dash has been removed and was that way when I purchased it. The ignition switch on the low end of the column is bad and must be replaced. There is no radio in the car. It does not have a tilt steering column. Both door panels should be replaced. The front windshield is cracked and should be replaced. The factory AC Core at the firewall is gone completely. The engine has headers on it, but the exhaust system is not complete. I have taken photos of the worst exterior rust issues with the car. Please use your own judgement with the pictures. The car currently has a 350 Chevy engine and transmission in it that was removed from a 1971 Chevy half ton truck. Good news: The car is in drivable condition and drives straight. The seats are in good condition and the original console and shifter is fine. The car has factory 3.08 Posi rear end. The frame rails are solid and trunk floor is in good condition. I do have a set of 4 honeycomb wheels for it, but no lug nuts or center caps however. The car now has 14 inch aluminum slot wheels. Rear tires are in very good condition. This car has not been a daily driven car. And my best guess is that I haven't put 200 miles on it since owning it. I feel my starting price is very reasonable considering the condition of this TransAm.
Contact me at home at 6603382746 after 7 PM CST with any other questions concerning the car or condition. I will not part out this car at all. Please do not ask me to do so. This car is being sold as a restoration project AS IS with no warranty. The car is not licensed or insured at this time so the buyer will need a trailer when picking up the car.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 must be put down at the time of auction close. The remainder is due when the buyer picks up the car.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
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.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
