1979 Pontiac Transam. It has its original 6.6 Litre engine and automatic transmission. The car has 57,819 original miles on it. I am the third owner it has always been registered in Louisiana.
PAINT:Original paint is still very shiny for the age. I can see that touch up paint was used on the drivers door to cover up a small dent below the lock. It also looks likes they used some more to cover the areas where the molding used to be on the doors of the car.( In picture)
ENGINE:When I purchased the car it was not running.When the mechanic got it started he found out that both of the exhaust manifolds were cracked and it smoked.He removed the heads and had them rebuilt after that he installed new rings and installed new reproduction exhaust manifolds.He installed a new water pump,belts,hoses, plugs and wires. Once the engine was back in the car and running the heater core started leaking and stained the carpet on the passenger side floor board. He replaced the heater core and put in new anti freeze.The carb was also rebuilt. New dual exhaust and chrome tips were installed.
INTERIOR: All original except the drivers front seat I had it recovered. Carpet needs to be replaced it is worn. The headliner is original it has two small burn holes.(picture).Instrumentation the only thing not working on the dash is the oil pressure gauge.
WHEELS: Reconditioned honeycomb wheels new tires and brakes.
Any questions give me a call at 318-264-5798 Kevin
Will be listing another one of my cars next week a 1972 Triumph TR6 project.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
