1979 Pontiac Trans Am, True rust free, low mile Survivor. One of Detroit's favorites for sure. 45,000 original,one owner, garaged miles. Time capsule barn find!! End of an era Icon that was /is a pleasure to drive down the road. One owner,always garaged rust free all original survivor. This rare low mile car never went more then 10 miles from the dealer in sunny Orange county California that sold it new. Crazy story right? This car was owned by an engineer that only had a few miles to commute to work. It was a daily driver, just a low mile daily commute. This car has always been driven,registered,insured and maintained as it still is to this day. This is a fly in and drive home car. It runs absolutely great!!! New tires, Super tight suspension,supple door rubber, perfect original dash pad,clear sharp gauges, working tach clock and more. The a/c is cool, Top it off with freon and it will be good to go. It just passed California's strict smog inspection with ease through the throaty dual exhaust. There is not one spec of rust anywhere on this car. Dry,dry,dry!!! You can eat off of the trunk floor. Super clean. Nicely appointed with the usual power options it also has a few more. Power trunk release, tilt wheel, rear defrost,am-fm stereo that sounds great, pulse wiper, power windows,locks.etc. This car is a pleasure to drive, no squeaks, rattles, shimmy's. Original upgraded factory interior. All the gauges, lights, cigarette lighter, rear defrost, function as they should. Only the water temp gauge needs some attention. I am looking into that now. Rare, rust free, pampered yes, perfect no! As you can see Pontiac was known for their problem with the silver paint in 1979, Dealers were busy keeping up with the warranty work on this color. The original owner was getting up there in age and never made the paint a priority. Lesson learned as it should have been done and this is how it sits today. I considered painting this car but thought I would first see if someone wanted a survivor, simple project to give some tlc to. Only original once I didn't want buyers to wonder what may be under the paint. Here it is,a one owner rust free,low mile tight survivor. True California blue plate Trans Am. The carpet is a little worn as are the seat edges. Still what you see is an honest example of some American iron. A stack of paperwork and records come with this car. The original title, registration Dealer contract when bought new, owners hand book. Please bid to win this rare car and ask all questions. This car is being sold as is! No Reserve. Good Luck!! |

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
