Very Nice, Clean 99 Ta, Only 29k Miles, 6 Spd, Cam, See Video Low Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Purlear, North Carolina, United States
Up for auction is my very nice 1999 Pontiac Trans Am. I have owned this car since around 2001 and it has been garaged the whole time and is evident by its condition. By being a weekend or special occasion driven only car, it has only 29113 actual miles! I really hate to part with this car but I need the room in the garage and never get time to drive it. There probably will never be any more Firebirds built and you see very few on the road which is another reason that makes it so hard to let it go. The body style of this car is unmistakable and turns heads everywhere. The inside of the car is very clean and has gray leather seats with power driver side, the monsoon stereo system with CD player. The car is blast to drive an sounds awesome with the mods I have done. This Trans Am has not been abused and has never been on the the drag strip! The cam and mods make this car pull hard and fast. The idle sounds awesome and has one of the best sounds of any of the LS1 cams. I upgraded the valvetrain accordingly to handle the extra lift and duration of the cam. I have always ran Castrol full synthetic motor oil . Please see the video to hear this beast idle. The only negatives on this car is the rebuilt title due to the front clip being replaced. The car was repaired with attention to detail. Even the engine bay was clear coated as the factory does not do this. I also replaced the standard Tans Am hood with a lightweight fiberglass Ram Air hood which looks great! The driver and passenger air bags were not replaced but the covers are there and looks factory. I personally did not want to replace them and it saves weight as well. There are very few chips or scratches on this car since it has always been garaged. It will eventually need one headlight motor (about $100). The headlight motors are bad for stripping the gear inside them. It works but makes a noise as the light goes up or down. Look at the photos carefully as I have tried to photo any chips or scratches as well. I also photo'd the Goodyear tires which are also in good shape. I am starting the auction with a low bid and my reserve is very reasonable as I am taking in account the low miles and great condition of this car but also the previously repaired damage. Please message me with any questions you may have or if you would like any additional pictures. Here is a list of the mods:
GM Performance parts "ASA" racing camshaft
Manley valve springs
Manley push rods
Manley titanium retainers
Self ported throttle body
NGK spark plugs
Texas Speed clear intake lid
Texas Speed rumbler exhaust with Ractive black chrome tips

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.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
