The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

I am listing this car for a friend of mine.  He purchased it a couple of years ago from a guy who was going to turn it into a car for the strip.  He saved a rock solid car from certain total destruction.  The past owner stripped it down to lighten it and connected the sub frame. This is as far as he got on the body ( see pictures )


 This is a factory 400 automatic car.  This is not the original 400 motor from what we can tell but it is a 400 motor with the number 77 stamped on it.  This motor was rebuilt per the past owner and is ready to go. It has a mild cam. We do not have any additional info about the motor. It looks like it was rebuilt. 

The body is very solid with no rust holes except a small area in the passengers side floor pan( see pic ) The rest of the body is incredibly solid. This car must of been pampered most of it life and kept out of the snow. This is also the original paint.  My friend was going to turn it into a a smokey and the bandit clone but never got around to doing it.  He has purchased a lot of parts including a new seat interior and door panels.  The original seats were missing but included are seats from another car. There is no carpet. It also comes with a brand new gas tank.   Everything pictured is included.

This car has just over 48,000 miles.

The trunk will need a patch due to the cut out ( not rust ) 

Rims have been reconditioned to better than new.  Tires are in very good condition 

This is a nice chance to pick up a very solid 1978  Pontiac Trans Am that just needs put back together. It appears that most of the parts are there. Hard to tell with the parts being removed.   View this link to see a lot of extra detailed pics of the car. You can also enlarge each picture.   www.SlickPic.com/u/MJones25  

   

  This car is for sale locally for 6100.00 so he reserves the right to end the auction early. Any questions phone 330-622-1483

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How 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?
