1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am This is a Turbo Bandit Trans Am
This is a Y84 special edition Trans Am. This is a barn find that I have had for about 8 years now. I have not had time to start this project and a recently lost the warehouse that I was storing the vehicle in. So its now for sale. Title is clear and reads exempt. I was told when I bought the car that it had only 22,053 miles on it. That it had been stored in a barn/car port for 20 years. Rust actually is only apparent on the floors. Even then its minimal except for the drivers pedal area. Looks like someone cut the floor board area where it meats the lower firewall area. I think this was done to install headers on the engine that someone put in the car at one time. A poor repair job has been done on the floors. To do it correctly the drivers side front floor section should be replaced. Quarter panels are real nice and rust free. . Doors are in good shape . Both fenders and the hood are in real nice shape but will need minor work. I believe the mileage to be the actual 22,053 due to the shape of the body mounts, suspension bushings, control arms, springs and such. Its just a shame that someone took this car apart years ago to put a Pontiac 350 motor in it and never put the car back together. Original fenders, hood and facial were all gone when I purchased the car. The ones you see in the pictures are good and usable. So what you have is a good solid body and frame to work with. Two engines and the original transmission come with the car as well. One 301 Turbo Motor with 19,000 original miles on it. * I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL #S ENGINE FROM THE CAR.* One 350 Pontiac motor that was in the vehicle and running when I bought it. Code XC HEAD CODE 4C One original 350 trans that came with the car. Two sets of Turbo's, Carburetors, exhaust manifolds, turbo pipes etc. All the parts in the pictures. It would be nice if someone would bring this Bandit back to life. I just don't have the time or the place anymore. |

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
