1978 Pontiac Trans Am
6.6 Litre / 400CI / Automatic
Martinique Blue (rare color)
***No Reserve***
I recently acquired this Trans Am. It had been sitting for five years. I drained out the old gas and put in new and it started right up. The car runs and drives well considering how long it was sitting but it does needs a tune-up and carburetor adjustment because it is running very rich. This is a non-numbers matching motor. It shows 80,100 on the odometer which might be accurate for the body according to available service receipts. The body is showing signs of rust (see pictures) including the rear drivers side frame rail. There is a noise from the rear end which is probably a bearing. It had a repaint at some point - probably Maaco. According to the original build sheet this is a true Martinique blue TA. I don't know much history on this vehicle but it has not been abused. Other options include:
automatic 3 speed transmission
power steering
power brakes
power windows
power door locks
rear defrost
aftermarket pioneer stereo/speakers
had A/C originally but was pulled at some point and is not available
has newer radiator
at this point in time the oil gauge and temperature gauge do not work but the oil has been changed recently
This TA does need body and mechanical work, but it runs and drives. This could be a great cruiser for anyone that enjoys old muscle cars. It is offered at "No Reserve" but I might be listing it locally as well. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the end of auction. Have fun bidding. Please send me a message with any questions or additional photo requests. I would suggest to the winning bidder that the car is trailered until the needed mechanical repairs are done.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

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?
