1979 Red Pontiac Trans Am Survivor Ws6 Low Miles T Tops on 2040-cars
Galena, Illinois, United States
|
Up for auction is my very nice un-restored 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. It was built at the Van Nuys plant and sold new at Till’s Motors in Bellevue IA. The first owner traded it at Dan Kruse Pontiac. This is where the second owner bought it on August 10th 1982. At that time the car had 27,916 miles on it. I purchased it from the second owner’s estate last July. The car currently has just 35,600 miles. There is a log book to account for most of the miles added by the second owner. This is a mostly original car with only the tires, radio, battery, mufflers, upper radiator hose and the Air Conditioning compressor being changed. The A/C has been converted to R-134. The mufflers are vintage Walkers that have a lifetime warranty and were installed back in 1986. The A/C work was done back in 2008. This is when the upper radiator was changed also. The radio has been replaced with a “state of the art” (at least for 1979) Alpine in dash AM/FM Cassette player with a power booster/equalizer. It really does sound pretty good. This unit was a bolt in with no cutting or hacking required. I do not have the original radio. The car is equipped with the 403 Oldsmobile engine and an automatic transmission. It is code 75 red with no hood bird. Most people say it is hood bird delete but this was an option that was not ordered. It has the black deluxe interior. Some other options include tilt, cruise, intermittent wipers, A/C, Power windows, T-Tops and WS6 Suspension. I have some paperwork and the build sheet. I would describe the condition of the car as what it would look like if you could go back in time and buy it when it was a two or three year old used car. It looks incredible but there are a few little door dings etc… The driver’s seat has a very small wear mark on the left side bolster. There has been some early 1980’s vintage GM dealership lacquer paint work done to the bottom of the fenders and quarter panels but it is mostly original paint. This painting was for chips in the paint, not rust. There is no and has never been any rust! It has not been driven in the winter and has not even really been in the rain since 1982. It has been a toy since being purchased by the second owner. It has been stored in a heated garage forever.
I am not a dealer or broker. This is my car and it is titled in my name. The car is licensed and insured but unfortunately it is hardly driven, that is why it is being sold.
I have many photos posted at this address: http://s840.photobucket.com/user/gomopar426/library/?view=recent&page=1
I am not really interested in any trades as I am trying to downsize but I would consider an up or down trade for an interesting Mopar, an original paint Survivor quality Black with a Red interior 1978 Trans Am or a very nice low mileage late model Corvette convertible. I have no interest in any Harley Davidson motorcycles.

MLI, CID, MSN and RFD are within a 90 minute drive to my house. I have described the car the best I can but what looks good to me may not be what is acceptable to you. If you choose to bid on it sight unseen you are doing so at your own risk. Please remember you are bidding on this car to own it not to come and look at it.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
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.
