1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Edition on 2040-cars
Frisco, Texas, United States
|
I have owned this 1979 10th Anniversary edition Trans Am for twelve years and ago two years ago we had it restored from the ground up. I put all new body panels on the car including the truck and hood. The suspension and brakes are completely new. The interior was completely replaced by new GM replacement parts including the seats. I bought a brand new crate 5.7 liter motor along with a four speed automatic transmission. The exhaust is all flow master. I am sure that I am leaving a bunch of thing out so call for more details.

First of all this car is a 10th anniversary edition which means that the production was limited to one car for every Pontiac dealer in the country and there were roughly thirty four hundred in 1979. I have owned this car for over ten years and about two years ago I found the body shop that I wanted to do the complete restoration from the frame up. The car has two new doors, both sets of front and back quarters, a new hood, truck pan, trunk lid, all new glass both inside and out. I replaced every molding and seals on the car. The Arizona sun had destroyed in interior so I opted to gut the entire inside of the car and replaced everything, carpet,headliner, dash, center counsel, seats, door panels, steering wheel, door locks, gas pedal, brake pedal, lighter or accessory that the car had. General Motors has a speed shop where you can buy just about any drive line they produce so I went with the package deal on the fuel injected 5.7 liter with a four speed automatic transmission and nice new ice cold ac that came with the same 3/36,000 mile warranty they provide when you buy a new GM Vehicle. I also replace the front and rear suspension, the entire brake system including the master cylinder and rotors. The front and rear suspension is new, the exhaust is all flowmaster custom bent to fit the vehicle. The wiring harness is all had custom made for the car using the sensor kits that General Motors requires in order to maintain the factory warranty requirements. This car was my dream car growing up so I waited to restore it until I had the money to do it the right way and we didn't cut any corners on the frame off restoration. I gave the owner of the shop one goal and it was that the car was to be perfect with no excuses so I invested over $60,000 in this one of a kind 10th anniversary 1979 Pontiac Trans AM. The pictures on Ebay are all of the same car they are just taken with the stripe kit and without the kit and the wheels are two different sets. The set that comes with the car are the original polished aluminum wheels with brand new tires. The second set of wheels are available if someone is interested. I had these wheels custom built to look like the honey comb wheel but I wanted them to fill up the wheel well giving the car a fatter look so they are eight inches wider then the honey comb wheels and look amazing however the wheels alone cost me 5k not including the tires. |

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
