1978 Pontiac Bandit Trans Am With Hurst Hatch T-roof Real 'bandit' Not Clone on 2040-cars
South Windsor, Connecticut, United States
|
1978 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Special Edition 6.6 Litre. This is a rare optioned car that came with Standard Shift, Hurst Hatch T-Roofs but with No Air Conditioning. This car was built in Norwood Ohio, and sold new in Canada, (which is probably why the car was ordered and/or built without A/C). I've owned this car for 27 years. It was completely restored in 1990. Since then I've made some changes, mostly mechanical, in order to make the car more drivable. Most recently I just installed a brand new Pontiac 400 Motor and Tremec 5 Speed Transmission. The original Super T-10 4 Speed Shifter is included with the car. Other modifications include rebuilt 3:90 rear end. The car originally had 3:42's. The car still has the original rear in it, I only changed the internals. New KYB Gas Adjust Shocks, B-Cool Radiator, Twin Electric Fans, Oversized Alternator, MSD Ignition, and Sub Frame Connectors. I recovered the original seats in black cloth. I changed the original gold dash trim piece back in 1990 because the original was damaged when I was restoring the car. I also used 1977 door panels because the original door panels did not show well. Back in 1990 there were no 'Bandit' Special Edition trim parts available, only standard Trans Am parts, so my options were limited. This car has been garaged since I bought it in 1987, never seeing rain or snow. Email me if you have any questions and thanks for looking.

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 repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
