Eye Candy: 1980 Pontiac Trans Am - Toronto Star
The story: I’ll start with what’s timely: my car was rented to the movie set of Pixels starring Adam Sander. The film is coming out at the end of July, and my Trans Am should — fingers crossed — appear as a background car. They loved the look and contacted me. they had the car carefully towed to the set and brought it back 24 hours later. The plan was to get CAA to tow the car back as far as possible, then use my brother’s CAA tow to get it to our a condo garage for storage, where we could also work on it as our winter project. It was a dumb way to get a car home, and but for a helpful cop almost didn’t work out. When we finally got to my brother’s condo, I drove the car down the ramp. March rolled around and the weather warmed up so I could take it to a local mechanic, who certified the car with no issues. From there I went to my parents house to finally wash it. The previous owner had restored the car with new paint, stickers, a GM crate motor (350 cubic inch/5. When I bought the car a year and a half ago, I put a new heater core to fix a leaking one, new radiator, starter, new carpet, floor mats, put the bird emblem on the dash, and recently did some suspension work to improve the handling.
