1979 Red Pontiac Trans Am Survivor Ws6 Low Miles T Tops on 2040-cars

 Up for auction is my very nice un-restored 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. It was built at the Van Nuys plant and sold new at Till’s Motors in Bellevue IA. The first owner traded it at Dan Kruse Pontiac. This is where the second owner bought it on August 10th 1982. At that time the car had 27,916 miles on it. I purchased it from the second owner’s estate last July. The car currently has just 35,600 miles. There is a log book to account for most of the miles added by the second owner.

 This is a mostly original car with only the tires, radio, battery, mufflers, upper radiator hose and the Air Conditioning compressor being changed. The A/C has been converted to R-134. The mufflers are vintage Walkers that have a lifetime warranty and were installed back in 1986. The A/C work was done back in 2008. This is when the upper radiator was changed also. The radio has been replaced with a “state of the art” (at least for 1979) Alpine in dash AM/FM Cassette player with a power booster/equalizer. It really does sound pretty good. This unit was a bolt in with no cutting or hacking required. I do not have the original radio.

 The car is equipped with the 403 Oldsmobile engine and an automatic transmission. It is code 75 red with no hood bird. Most people say it is hood bird delete but this was an option that was not ordered. It has the black deluxe interior. Some other options include tilt, cruise, intermittent wipers, A/C, Power windows, T-Tops and WS6 Suspension. I have some paperwork and the build sheet.

 I would describe the condition of the car as what it would look like if you could go back in time and buy it when it was a two or three year old used car. It looks incredible but there are a few little door dings etc… The driver’s seat has a very small wear mark on the left side bolster. There has been some early 1980’s vintage GM dealership lacquer paint work done to the bottom of the fenders and quarter panels but it is mostly original paint. This painting was for chips in the paint, not rust. There is no and has never been any rust! It has not been driven in the winter and has not even really been in the rain since 1982. It has been a toy since being purchased by the second owner. It has been stored in a heated garage forever.

 

I am not a dealer or broker. This is my car and it is titled in my name. The car is licensed and insured but unfortunately it is hardly driven, that is why it is being sold.

 

 

I have many photos posted at this address:

 I am not really interested in any trades as I am trying to downsize but I would consider an up or down trade for an interesting Mopar, an original paint Survivor quality Black with a Red interior 1978 Trans Am or a very nice low mileage late model Corvette convertible. I have no interest in any Harley Davidson motorcycles.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob 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.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.
