Listed is a 1978 trans am, original black on black car which underwent a ground up restoration about 4-5 years prior at which time the car was diassembled and the floors, inner doors, and trunk were sprayed with POR 15 rust preventative. All metal panels at that time were noted to be original to the car and the car inspected for any previous collision damage, (none was found). The frame was then painted and the car reassembled with a fresh 30 over pontiac 455 motor which features an eldelbrock 750 carb, edelbrock aluminum intake, 6x heads, mild hydraulic cam, ceramic coated long tube headers ( with 3" aluminized dual exhaust with turndowns behind the rear wheels), high volume oil pump, 18 3/4 flex fan, aluminum radiator, TH350 with 2800-3000 stall converter, and 10 bolt posi rearend. Other features include detroit speed upper and lower control arms with QA1 (adjustable ride height) coil over shocks in front, along with burt reynolds edition preformed fiberglass molded ground effects in both the front and rear, prior to the new interior being installed dynamat sound deadening barrier was installed on the floors, new carpet, seat covers, package tray, console shift plate and the burt reynolds edition preformed plastic molded 1 piece door panels with preformed speaker holes. Dash is original and in great shape except for small crack as illustrated in one of the photos. I also have the detroit speed mini tub kit ( not installed) that comes with the car, although will varify that i still have all the pieces. Car also has had all new rubber molding and window felts and wheels and tires ( rear-17x9/front 17x8) are in great condition with lots of tread. Car has less then 3000 miles on it since its restoration. Paint is still a 8 out of 10. Car runs, drives and looks amazing! Car was last inspected and tagged in late 2011 and has been garage kept and sitting since then due to other interests. The items the car needs to be complete in my opinion include or which can be improved on include; needs headliner, needs front bumper emblem, needs seat belts, A/C, comes with a CD player but is not installed and does not have speakers, some of the gauges not working anymore(clock, gas-needs a sending unit), windows are very very slow up and down, drivers side door panel needs the remote mirror hole drilled and the control lever mounted and I believe that is it but feel free to call me at 9724891038 any evening before 9 and I will be glad to look it over and take any other pics and answer any other questions you may have. Also I will be glad to send you to your phone a video of it running!

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
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.
