Up for Auction is this beautiful 1989 Pontiac Trans am GTA. This is a true GTA with all of the following options:
Power Windows, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, T-Tops, A/C, AM/FM CD player Radio, Tilt steering wheel, Cruise Control, Factory WS6 Performance Suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, Factory 9 bolt Australian rear with stock 3:43 gears, Factory Dual cat exhaust, and a 5 speed manual transmission.
This car was originally equipped with a 5.0L 305 TPI engine. When I purchased this car it had a bad rod bearing due to the previous owner running it low on oil, so I decided to put a 350 TPI motor in instead of rebuilding the 305.
So now the car has a fully rebuilt 350 bored out .30 over to a 355 with less than 8 miles on a fresh motor. Everything on this motor is new, besides being bored .30 over it also received a re-ground crank shaft, new bearings both crank and rod bearings, Moly rings, cam bearings, Cam, Freeze plugs, Timing chain and sprockets, oil pump, All new gaskets, Cut heads,......... Everything was done by a professional engine builder here in my town. I do have all receipts for all work done.
Along with the installation of this fresh motor this car also received a new Water pump, Thermostat, Serpentine belt, Plugs, Wires, PCV Valve, Battery, starter, manifold gaskets, Clutch, re-ground fly wheel, Air filter, All new gaskets!! No leaks what so ever!, I also replaced all the sensors including coolant temp sensor, Knock Sensor for a 350, Oil Switch, New ESC Module for a 350, Fan switch, Computer chip for a 350, Fully rebuilt Fuel rail with all new O-rings, 8 Brand new Bosch 3 22lb fuel injectors... I might be forgetting something.
I built this car, and put it together as GM would have done it is they offered a 350 with a 5 speed from the factory. All belts, hoses, plug wires are routed like the factory had them, all emissions control went back on the car, everything was done to look like its never been touched, and by looking at it besides being clean and dry, you would never know the motor was changed. I take pride in my work, and don't hack anything!!
The Body of the car is in great shape, all original metal, no rust on body, or underneath, New paint looks great!, doors open and close nicely with no sag.
The Interior is also in very nice shape. No rips in the seats, No cracks in the dash, Nice and clean!. The steering wheel leather was showing its age so that's why there is a steering wheel cover in place. The headliner is starting to show its age a little but its up there and don't look too bad. Other than that the interior is nice, everything works.
The front tires have decent tread life left, the rear will need replacing eventually. That's the way I got the car, and I have spent too much money on this car to afford new tires.
This car runs great, and reliable. Fans come on when they are supposed to, sounds nice tight and smooth. Transmission shifts great.
I have driven this car around the block a few times to check all functions. The car is not registered, that's why I only put 8 miles on it. I just wanted to make sure everything was functioning properly, and break the motor in a little.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
