1989 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo 20th Ann 35000 Miles Needs Transmission Low Reserve! on 2040-cars
Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Quebec, Canada
|
1989 Turbo Trans Am 20th Ann edition. The vehicle is located in Saint Basile le grand in Quebec, Canada so if you don't have a passport of other means of crossing the border please do not bid. The vehicle is an American car so taking it back across the border is no problem and there are no fees involved because I have a copy of the American title as well as the current Canadian title. The Canadian title is taken to the DMV just like any other title.
Car has 35000 miles on it but needs some work. The transmission is blowen and needs to be rebuilt or exchanged. The engine runs perfect and had a few performance upgrades done by Joe Buichii in Montreal including 260h cam kit, TA60 turbo, mild ported heads, adjustable boost controller, modified oil pump, Taylor 10mm wires, adjustable fuel pressure regulator and #60 injectors. The transmission has been built for strip/street performance with a higher stall converter but as noted it is broken. It works in first and reverse but will not shift out of first at all. The speedometer stopped working at the same time that the tranny stopped shifting. The interior needs a bit if work, the leather is dried and cracking a bit but you could probably get away with just having the drivers bolster repaired. The paint is also dried up and cracking and would need a repaint in the near future. The panels are all pretty straight and line up really good. The passengers side door could use a slight adjustment but that's pretty much it. The car does need work but it is a very low mileage TTA with a perfectly clean title. The reserve is very low and the car must go. I was going to keep it and repair it myself but I've lost interest, I've owned the car for close to 3 years. Please feel free to email me with any questions, I have more photos and a few videos of walk arounds of the car On Sep-15-14 at 16:05:44 PDT, seller added the following information: The windshield is cracked and needs to be replaced.
Car is sold as is. |

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
'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.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
