He she is: My "midlife crisis" car as my wife calls it. I enjoyed 4 years and way too much money building this car. So here's what it is:
- Only 2300 hardtop coupes were produced in '79 with 400 Pontiac engine and 4 speed
- 79 is first year Pontiac with 4 wheel disc brakes. All brakes calipers, pads cables are brand new.
- Correct year 400ci engine with mild cam, 6X heads, demon carb, longtube ceramic headers
- Very dependable with MSD ignition, custom mounted and functional hood scoop, remote oil filter
- Transmission is Borg Warner world class upgraded with stronger gears and thrust washer - all brand new with close ratio Hurst 5 speed
- That's correct 5 speed w overdrive.
- Drive shaft is shortened 3.5"
- Rear end is 10 bolt 3:73 posi with Moser Gears
- Clutch is actuated by hydraulic cylinder setup from 2005 Vette
- Almost too much to list - but all is brand new and with less than 4,000 very dependable miles
- Car was chassis dyno'd at rear wheels with just under 300hp & 355 ft/lbs torque
- Exhaust and stainless tips are 2.5" with crossover and dual flowmaster - this car sounds incredible
- This car never had,and does not have any rust - zero - none.
- All new body bushings, front rear swaybars, shocks - U name it
- Paint job is perfect. - -thats a big big statement - but this paint is 18 months old and has never had wax
- Clear coat buffed after paint - thats it. This car does not see rain
- Some pics may not show all the factory new graphic pics - like trim around wheel wells.
- AC all rebuilt and blows cold
- Really just too much to list with the TLC that went into it
- Driving this car is like being in a parade - everyone seems to stop, look, listen & wave
- My only gaurantee - is you'll be hard pressed to build a straighter, nicer higher quality car - than what you can buy this for
- You really need to see & drive to appreciate - The reserve is low - so have fun and email w any questions
- I have an all steel '34 ford coupe 60% complete and would like to finish that now.
- My reserve is low - so bid and enjoy for the summer. If you have less than a 98% feedback - don't bother bidding - I will reject it.

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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
