1988 Pontiac Trans Am Gta Firebird L98 350 Tpi on 2040-cars
Stuarts Draft, Virginia, United States
|
Up for sale is the car that got me through college and I didn't think I'd ever let it go. However the time has finally come, I have a baby on the way and just don’t have time to mess with it anymore. The car had been parked for 10+ years and I finally got it back on the road and inspected this summer. It runs and drives well, with the exception of not wanting to idle while cold due to the cam that’s in it. Once up to operating temperature it’s fine though. The engine was replaced with a custom Scoggin-Dickey crate motor (ZZ4 rotating assembly, Edelbrock 6085 heads, LT4 Hot cam & 1.6 RRs) around 100k miles (in 2000), so it has less than 40k on it now. It also has an exhaust leak between the header collector and y-pipe on the passenger side. Nothing is damaged; it just isn’t lined up quite right. I have installed a vacuum assist pump and canister to make sure the brakes always have sufficient vacuum. Air conditioning and cruise control do not work.
Cosmetically the paint is completely shot. The only body damage is a torn hole in the front bumper cover. The original hatch glass was damaged and has been replaced by a unit from an 86 T/A. The spoiler has been replaced by a fiberglass one from Hawks. The only rust on the car is under the battery tray from a leaky battery at some point in time. The passenger front wheel has a dent in it, and most if not all have some mild curb rash.
The interior is good shape for its age. The dash and top door sill on the driver’s side have been replaced with un-cracked pieces. (Included is a new piece for the passenger door too, I just haven’t installed it). The center console was swapped out for a 4th gen console for cup holders. There are no rips or tears in the seats, but there are a few minor burn spots. These are not from cigarettes (car was never smoked in during the 16 years I’ve owned it) but rather from sloppy soldering while working on the stereo, etc. The steering wheel radio controls work. The hatch motor works properly. The headlights go up and down on their own. The headliner is starting to sag, but is not real bad yet. There is a mild musty smell to the interior from being closed up for so long.
I think I have covered all the issues with the car, and if you have any questions ask before bidding! I will be completely honest with you. I want you to be able to make an educated bid. The mileage may change slightly as I am driving it a little. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The car is sold “As-Is” with no warranty stated or implied. A $500 deposit is due within 2 days of auction end or negative feedback will be left. Buyer is responsible for pickup/shipping, but I will help with what I can. Thanks for looking. |

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
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.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
