Numbers-matching, W72 4 Speed With Build Sheet And Phs, Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Edgerton, Wisconsin, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a numbers-matching car with factory 4 speed. It has the original build sheet as well as PHS documentation. It left the factory with the following options: -Body side moldings -W72 400 4 bbl (Pontiac) engine -Custom, color-keyed seat belts -Electric rear window defrost -Soft Ray glass, all -Door edge guards -Hood decal -Additional acoustical insulation -Lamp group -Front & rear floor mats -Right hand visor vanity mirror -Drip rail moldings -Delco AM radio with 8 track player -Tilt steering -G70x15 white-lettered tires Here's a quick, walk-around video with the engine running: http://vid73.photobucket.com/albums/i224/blue71ta/1978%20Trans%20Am/MVI_9953.mp4 The engine appears to have been rebuilt as it is very clean under the valve covers and inside the intake. It has Erson roller rockers and a mild cam that gives it a nice lope at idle. The following parts are all new (or reman. in the case of the carb): remanufactured carburetor The wheels have been balanced and there is good tread on tires. The rearend is the original 3.42 ratio posi with the "PY" code. I'm pretty sure the Borg Warner Super T-10 transmission is original also, but don't see a VIN on it (probably stamped on top of the case), but it is dated correctly for the car. The body is solid for the most part, but will need some patching in a few areas (bottoms of fenders, driver's front floor & rear quarters). The trunk is in very good condition, the rear body panel is solid & frame rails look solid. Check out the pics and video for more detail. The tach, clock and temp gauges are not currently working, but all other gauges work. The radio is not working, nor are the lights & signals. These shouldn't be too hard to fix, just haven't had time. *Car will need to be trailered as the brakes need work and are not safe. Feels like the right front rotor is warped. I have a pair of used rotors off a '79 T/A that I will include with the car. This is a great start for a restoration. It's a numbers-matching, 4 speed car that runs & drives. You can fix while you restore / drive. Please ask all questions before bidding and only bid if you plan to complete the transaction. A $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end, with the balance due on or before the day the car is picked up. Full payment within 5 days of auction end. Car can be picked up after that as long as arrangements have been made. Balance is to be paid in cash or by wire transfer. |

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine 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.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
