Up for auction is this unique Cameo white with white/blue interior SD Trans Am 4spd. "X", the character in the VIN that makes all the difference in the world in a Trans Am...As if the 212 4spd production total figure isn't rare enough, this particular one retains it's numbers matching original engine, transmission, and rear axle. This car comes stacked full of interesting documentation that every car buyer dreams of! It even has an original gate release! It was purchased from the original family roughly 4 months ago. Upon winning the auction and making payment in full, all of this documentation will become available to you. Out of respect for the privacy of the previous owner I will not put that out here in the internet. The car itself in the vintage muscle car rating scale is a 3. It runs strong, shifts ok, brakes are good but could use a front ball joint and steering kit to tighten that back up a bit. There is also a small manifold exhaust leak that would be fixed with the replacement of the steel shim gasket. The only thing missing under the hood is the air cleaner snorkle tube. We were told it was painted back in the early 90's and we have reciept for engine parts and machine work showing the engine was rebuilt roughly around 1980/81. As far as we can tell it does have all of it's original sheetmetal and that sheetmetal is in really nice condition. There is 1 rust spot about 1" high by 2" long at the bottom front edge of the 1/4 panel behind the drivers door that will need to be patched. Interior I would actually go so far as to say is an 8 out of a 10. The 3 things that need to be corrected are a cig burn in the center console, aftermarket gauges were installed in the dash bezel, and the cig lighter was relocated to the glove box so there is a hole in the glove box liner as a result. I have purchased a really nice original correct turned metal dash bezel for it and original glove box liner to fix those issues and if the burn bothers you your local upholstery shop should be able to recover the console to look good as new. The trunk I would say is all original and very solid. It does show age but looks very good yet. The original spare tire, jack base, stud, and wing nut are ther but the mast and wrench are missing. The original honeycomb wheels are in good shape with only some minor cracking in the urethane coating. Overall the car with a little tlc would be a great car for somebody to enjoy many warm summer days worth of fun. Because nothing has the stump pulling torque of a 455 in the small Trans Am platform! Please feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have. Also available is transport at of fee of $1.50/mi if interested. |

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
