History of the car to the best of my knowledge:
The original owner of the car was from Alabama and he was incarcerated back in the late seventies. Vehicle was stored in a warehouse with the rest of his belongings, until he died in prison in 2002. His family members divided his belongings and his daughter inherited it and then sold it to an older gentleman in Georgia (He was 60 years old in 2002), registered it as an antique vintage vehicle and drove it only a few hundred miles a year. I bought it from him last year and registered it in Alabama as a Vintage car as well.

Numbers Matching car (Original Engine/ Transmission)
Low original mileage (26K miles)
Original Interior
Original wheels, hub caps, and wheel trim.
Original Carburetor.
Always used 93 Octane gas in it

 

The vehicle is always been registered as an Antique Vintage vehicle since it came out of storage in 2002, limiting the mileage and usage to a few hundred miles a year. It has also been insured by American Collectors insurance company in the amount of $30,000. The car has always been started and driven occasionally to keep it in a running condition. Always been Alabama and Georgia Vehicle, never been north. Paint is glossy as you can see in the pictures but during storage, the car wasn't covered, so you will be able to see scratches, paint chips, etc when you are close to the car. Front speakers are in-op, tried to replace them but I cracked the top dashpad in the process, so I left it as is.

FAQ:

Q: Any frame rust?
A: No, Frame is free of rust. Got to see undercarriage to appreciate.

Q: Any rust on the floor panels?
A: No, the floor panels are made of fiberglass in the 1974 and older vehicles. So no rust, and no chance of rust in the future.

Q: Headlights go up and down? Low beam/ high beam work? 
A: Yes 

Q: Wipers work?
A: Yes

Q: I live in x State, that is about xxx miles away from you, can I drive it home?
A: I would drive it anywhere. Tune up is recommended before thousands of miles trip.

Q: Is the car in perfect condition?
A: Car is in good original condition, but don't expect a brand new 39 years old car, and don't expect a fully restored car, car runs and drives with no major problems but you may need to take care of minor issues like o'clock in-op, hazy taillights, and some guage lights in-op. Be realistic about what you expect and Please don't bid if you don't know what you getting yourself into.

Q: Does the car have a title?
A: Alabama State like many other States registered the cars before 1975 and never titled them. You will receive current Original (not a copy) Alabama Registration, and a bill of sale. If your State requires titling, then you will get a title issued in your name when you take the documnets to the DMV/ tag office. 

Q: Would you consider trades?
A: No, I need the cash.

Q: What is the MPG?
A: About 18 MPG.

Q: Can I use it as a everyday car?
A: It would make a good everyday car, a good collectable car, or it can be used as a good platform for a nut to bolt restoration.

All welcome to come take a look and test drive the car.
I will be happy to answer any questions you may have to the best of my knowledge,

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
