This is 1981 Trans am Project car. The car is a very rust free California car. There is no rust to be found on the body anywhere, except very low on the drivers rear quarter. It is just starting to rust. It is hard to find one this clean. These cars usually rust until they collapse. The passenger door also has some rust in the seam, as it is not originally from the car. Both front fenders are in need of a small patch to fix them correctly. The frame rails are super clean, and the floor pans still have the original paint on them. The original spot welds can be seen on the quarter panels around the rear tires.
The car has NO TITLE. These can be obtained in a number of ways. I thought that the car is worth more for re-bodying a rusty gold or silver edition trans am than to restore. Either way, you end up with something that is worth wile when you are done.
There is some damage on the car. The passenger rear quarter has been bumped. It looks bad, but the creases could easily be pulled out by a professional body man. There was also some damage to the driver rear quarter panel very low. There is mud in this quarter panel. It was not finished off very well, and can be seen in the pictures.
The car includes a very nice set of restorable snowflake wheels.
The car has no motor or transmission. It is also missing some parts. If it is not in the pictures, It is not there.

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."
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
