1985 Pontiac Trans Am H.O. - the last year of the grumpy sounding "High Output" Trans Ams!

This 1985 Trans Am is one of a kind. It was assembled in the third week of October 1984 as an early 1985 model, but because Norwood/Ohio plant ran out of the right production parts during the model year change, they "created" a wild mix: Exterior already shows the new 1985 changes (restyled air dams, vents, tail lights) and the new '85 dashboard (with grit pattern gauge design), combined with '84 vinyl bucket seats interior. The 305 H.O. (205 hp with Premium gas) is attached to a THM 700R4 (4speed) automatic box, which officially wasn't available anymore for 1985 H.O. - of 44.028 Trans Am made altogether for the 1985 model year, 1.665 were listed as "High Output" version.

I bought this beautiful, award winning 1985 Trans Am early last year with less than 32.000 mls from the second owner who drove it only to classic car events. The first owner once stored the Pontiac in a garage for almost 13 years of the 22 years he owned it and created a wonderful clean time capsule. (vehicles history is well documented and complete).
But every car guy will confirm you just don't store a car that long without having some flaws coming along - so I had to do some improvements on this Firebird: The 4 barrel carburetor (Quadrajet) was totally refurbished, all hoses were replaced. The Alternator was renewed, also headlights (converted from sealed beam to stronger H4), foglights, headliner, hood insulation, rear wheel brakes (completely incl. emergency brake cable), brake lines (now all stainless steel), all system liquids/fluids changed, water pump renewed, also the windshield washer pump and even the flasher relay.
Soon I found myself cruising around town every night with this classic 80's T-Top Bird and even enjoyed a roadtrip to the west coast, and honestly there wasn't one single day without getting thumbs up or compliments - this Trans Am really wows the crowd and causes a stir, which makes me think it better should be kept as a show/hobby car than a summertime daily driver.
That's why I rather see it in somebody's hands who won't drive it every day and treats it the way it deserves.

The body and floor panels are all clean, the V8 looks and runs like brand new (engine was refined this summer). The four speed automatic shifts smooth and soft, the original exhaust rumbles like in the good old muscle car days. Everything works fine, even the (original!) concealed headlight motors, cruise control and A/C (blows ice cold, was refilled this spring). Nothing is worn out or cracked, no filthy smell (non smoker car). If you know cars, then you also know about GM's quality issues especially in the 80's - one reason why so many of these stylish, sleek Firebirds became extinct. You'll have to dig deep finding a better Trans Am than this one, especially in this rare H.O. version. This Trans Am is just turn-key ready to go – get in and enjoy the summer!

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
