Up For sale is my personal car I've owned since 1996. I purchased it from a car lot in Studio City CA, that got it from the original owners wife after he passed away. I was so excited at the time I purchased it that I didn't pay much attention to the paint job. I noticed  later that the car  had a cheap paint job to hide a dented fender and hood that was filled with bondo. The car was not or is not  salvaged title but clean. This started the restoration on my part. I worked at a dealership at the time as a line mechanic. I got cost on parts plus 10%. I replaced the fenders,hood, front and rear facia with original GM parts. I also replaced the fog lights,headlight bezels,center console,door handles, GTA badging with all new factory parts. I did all this to give it the showroom appearence. I also replaced the door moldings in the factory color. I also replaced all of the t-top weather stripping and the door weather stripping. I've made factory upgrades to the car by putting on the factory Trans Am fenders. I felt that GM cheated people out of this by putting on a firebird fender and slapping GTA badges on it instead. You can run the VIN number at your local dealership to verify that it is a real GTA and not a clone. I've had an inop on the car since 1999 while I was doing all of the work. I smogged the car in 2004 to get the personalized license plates and then put the inop back on it. The car has new front struts & alignment. New rear shocks and height springs(HD). The Brakes, Radiator, alternator, tires,shocks have less than 500 miles on them but were installed more than ten years ago. The car still drives and rides excellent. While it was stored I have started it once or twice a month. I just recently replaced the battery and it has a 3 year warranty/ free replacement. There is nothing butchered or mickey moused on this car. I have installed a newer CD Player out of a newer Trans Am with a Kenwood Amplifier and Speakers. I used two adapter harnesses so none of the factory wiring harness was cut or spliced into, although I did cut off the connectors at the speakers. I tossed the original speakers because I thought they were awful sounding.  I still have the factory cassette radio that came with the car. Right after I bought the car the cassette player didn't work properly so I sent it in to Delco through the dealership and they put in a new motor and cassette mechanism. The factory radio can be re-installed and everything will work as desighned. With the stereo in it now the steering wheel controls do not work.  The also installed front rims to the rear so I wouldn't have to break the tires off the rims to rotate the tires. This car was going to be my daily driver. Just keep in mind that this car is 20+ years old and is being sold as is where is with no warranties. Also I noticed that there is cracking around the tires from sitting. The things wrong with the car that I never got around to fixing are the headlight motors stopped going up. You can open them manually and when you shut off the headlights they go down. I replaced the rear wing with an aftermarket fiberglass wing. This took 12lbs off the hatch and it pops right open. The original kept getting small cracks in it after it was repainted. The third brake light will need to be reinstalled. I have all the original parts to do this. The passenger door lock actuator is weak and should be replaced. I'm trying to described everything to the best of my memory and knowledge of the car. Please ask any and all questions before making any offer or purchase. I have more pictures of the car and can take more of whatever you would like to see. When I sell something I want the buyer to know exactly what he/she is getting. There's nothing worse that having it show up at your front door not being what you expected a thousand miles later and $$$$ out of your pocket for shipping costs. Therefore I recommend that you or you have someone you trust inspect it in person. I can help you in anyway you like. I'm sure I'm forgetting something so Please call or text me at 310-357-7321 By Placing an offer or buying the car you are agreeing to my conditions. I'm not saying this to be a jerk I don't want to waste my time or yours. Thank you in advance

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The 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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
