1979 Pontiac Trans Am #'s Matching 403 Automatic on 2040-cars
Rome, New York, United States
I am selling my 1979 Trans Am 6.6 litre only due to the fact my other muscle car is now complete & I do not have storage space for both. This vehicle is complete, currently fully insured & registered & I have been driving it and having a great time. When I purchased car I had an experienced Pontiac guy with me & entire vehicle checked very carefully! Frame is in great shape, floor pans solid and not repaired, frame are behind back bumper in great condition, integrity of this solid piece is not a question. I spent time this winter having a few things done to make this car better such as new GM sill plates, outer door handles, new console bin liner & top, new transmission hump cover dyed and installed, new headlight adjusters, new lug nuts, Vintage 70's pontiac splash guards installed, new floor mats, re dyed console & put in new console map pocket, new inner door handle escheursons, new package tray installed, seats adjusted for better alignment, restoration of original wheel and center section, trunk spatter painted & cleared. Brand new door & trunk Goodmark weatherstripping as well. This car runs very nice & is a very snappy 403 that will break them loose very easy! I put on vintage Eagle st's 235/60/15 front & 275/60/15 rear for that real muscle car era look. This is a fully finctional car, headlights, highbeams, signals, brake lights, cool air & heater(non a/c car), tachometer, speedometer, oil pressure, water temp, dome light, all instrumentation lights, wipers, & even the clock work perfect! This car drives nice & can really be enjoyed without breaking your bank. Vehicle has power steering, automatic transmission & 4 wheel disc brakes. Originally Sunfire Yellow , painted black back many years ago(15) and still looks great... has some scratches of course & imperfections but a great driver! Unbelievable all the thumbs up & compliments this car gets & talk about drawing a crowd, it is a celebrity wherever it goes. I am not a dealer just an enthusiast that ahs been enjoying these cars for a long time and now its time to let it go to a new home. This is not a trailer queen or a show car, its a great driver with all the looks and performance you want. Any questions feel free to give me a call at 315 225-1600. I encourage inspections and will tell you that when you place bids it is to own the car. Once car sells it is not inspection time! If you win the bidding you own the vehicle so check with your wife, make sure you have the ability to pay because this is for real and i'm too old to play nonsense games.
I have no problem ending auction early if we come to agreement & a deposit is made via paypal or certified funds.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
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.
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.
