dynoed at 608 hp at 604 ft lbs of torque at 5900 RPM. I have the entire blueprint/build sheet,
that tells everything that has been done,inside and out. They broke it in while dyno
tuning it in house. All prices for everything done ,are listed as well. I have all the
receipts for everything I've put into the car. Here is a list of the stuff i have on
this car.

TCI 4 link with panhard bar located between the gas tank and rear end.
brand new aluminum drive shaft.
newly rebuilt turbo 350 with all the goodies,including B&M shift kit,and B&M 2500 Hole shot converter
Detroit speed 3" mini tub. i have 295/50/15 on the rear,and there is room for a 12" tire max.
Doug's ceramic coated headers,hooked up to a 3" mandrel bent,flowmaster exhaust,with 40 series flowmaster mufflers.
new dash pad,carpet,and new dyna mat and hush mat under carpet.
brand new carbon fiber Auto Meter gauges.
new engine only has 347 miles, which does not match the odometer,cause i had a different motor in it when i put gauges in.
new headliner and dome light, for some reason,dome light doesn't come on. It hasn't bothered me, so i haven't fixed it.
custom package tray with same carbon fiber vinyl that is in trunk area.
seats are from a LEXUS IS300 and i had the back seats upholstered to match, seats are both power seats.
custom front kick panels with speakers. The kick panels are wrapped in black leather.
brand new Deluxe door panels, with Deluxe rear panels as well.
new door handles inside and out, along with brand new seat belts.
brand new rebuilt front end along with new tubular A arms, and brand new 1" 1/4 sway bar, and new shocks.
new front lowering springs are from HOTCHKIS , which lowered it 2".
new motion sensor stereo head unit with small video screen.
i had this system tuned to play LOUD rock 'n' roll and it does just that!! CRISP and LOUD !!
electric trunk release with release button inside the glove box . Ignition box also in glove box.
new GRANT carbon fiber steering wheel. Horn not hooked up.
custom center console from a 67 impala SS that i customized myself which has hydro dipped carbon fiber inserts.
the engine is a multi-port fuel injection from F.A.S.T and its awesome!! You can tune the car with the handheld!
center console needs the carpet in the [glove box] area, just haven't done it .
new air conditioning from VINTAGE AIR and it blows COLD !
MARCH serpentine pulleys.
crank case evacuation pump.
polished water pump.
custom intake manifold. I had BUTLER PERFORMANCE send me the intake and i had it professionally hydro dipped! Looks AWESOME!!
needs a better looking top radiator hose, just didn't get to it. Its just a stock hose and looks cheap compared to everything else.
brand new CHAMPION aluminum 3 core radiator with 2- 10" electric fans .
NEED TO GET BIGGER AND BETTER RADIATOR !!!! This radiator works fine for a 400 hp engine but not so well for 600 plus .
The problem with this radiator is that it only has 1/2" cores . It needs 1" cores . I talked to Rodney and he said
he'd like to see the engine run under 200 degrees, this radiator makes it run around 210 to 215 which isn't hot by any means,
but with as much money that was spent on this, it needs to be the buyers FIRST PRIORITY!!! I was told by a nearby
radiator shop that the CHAMPION radiators are known for having 1/2 inch cores [I didn't know}, I figured a 3 core radiator would
be fine, but he said he has people all the time that come in with the same problem. Easy fix!! Just get a bad a** radiator to match this bad a** car!!
This engine was built with reliability first and foremost as I wanted an engine that could handle HOT ROD POWER TOURS.
I can email anyone the build sheet along with the three dyno pulls. The build sheet has every item and price of each and every thing done.
This engine is no joke!! It gets down to business FAST!! REV limiter can be adjusted from the handheld inside the car. Actually,
everything is adjusted from the handheld device even the idle!
The condenser for the air condition is currently off the car, I took it off earlier to see if the car would run a little cooler
but it didn't change anything.. I'll try to bolt it back if car sells, then the system will just need to be charged again, no big deal
its really easy to get to.
And one more thing, when I was cutting through the carpet to bolt the seats down, I accidentally cut through the RCA cable
going to the sub amp. I called the place that installed it and they said that the RCA cost about 35 bucks with about 40 bucks labor
if the car sells, and the place has time, I'll get it fixed or just take off 100 bucks if you want to take care of it yourself.
You'll just have to let me know.
I'm sure I'm missing some things,so if you have any questions please call me at 1-417-576-0275
no low ballers ! Please don't waste your time or mine ! The car is for sale well below the money i have put into it.
NO TRADES OF ANY KIND! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY AS THE CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY!!!
Thanks and happy bidding !! Please note that I have included three pictures that show minor paint damage one is on the upper drivers side door & the other two paint cracks are on the drivers quarter panel that any body shop could fix.... Also I am having new door hinges installed this week!!

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500
Thu, Jun 20 2019Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.
