Up for auction * 1978 Pontiac Trans Am Firebird.White with white interior , auto trans , power windows, all spoilers are there , and shaker scoop , body is in pretty good condition for the age ,the previous owner had owned the car since 1988 and its been sitting in storage for the last 21 years. you can tell by looking at the stickers the car was last inspected 1992 and registered 1993.needs a restoration.21 plus years ago the original 403 cu olds went, so a Pontiac 350 used engine was put in , But that engine was a oil burner so at that time he was disgusted and put the car in storage and figured when his son got older they would do a father / son restoration. It did not happen.The engine has not run in a while, does not run now , old fuel will have to be drained from tank as well, back in the late 1980's to early 90's he had someone do some body work, it's looking alittle shabby on the drivers side rear quarter. The pictures should reflect that. The negatives are = incorrect engine needing a overhaul,some frame rot on drivers rail,no radio or rear speakers , and the sunroof and some body work which all these can be corrected. The good is it's a real Pontiac Trans am.I will answer any questions I can about this car. I want there to be no surprises. Please if you are not sure do not place a bid.( Also available, but (NOT) part of this auction is the drive train from a 1978.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
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 recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
