1969 Pontiac on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
|
Here you have a 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, I am limited in the information I can give on this car, I can only go on what the owner told me at the time of sale. I have had it for quite sometime and it has been in my garage all that time. The vehicle came from Las Vegas and is equipped with a rebuilt 400 engine and a four speed transmission. I do not know if it has a posi rear or what kind of four speed it is. I was going to change it over to automatic so I took the clutch and brake pedal out and exchanged the pedal for an automatic one, so to keep it standard you will have to replace the clutch and brake pedal to bring it back to a four speed. Due to the fact of increasing projects I have acquired I do not have time to put into the vehicle and complete the job, so the four speed set-up is still in place, brake and clutch pedal is the only thing missing. I do have an automatic transmission for it, however if I do not sell the car I will change it over at a later time, the paint is decent and the body is solid. It will need a top, the one is ripped, and the interior is in satisfactory condition, probably will need new padding at a later time, the ones in there are good for now. The rug on the drivers side panel is missing and will have to be installed and the crank on the passenger rear window will have to be replaced in which I have the part. The engine has not been started in a couple of years, although it does turn by hand, it needs a starter and I also have that part. Either the transmission or the rear end needs a seal, one of those items leak and that will have to be replaced. The hood tachometer I am not sure if it works, it is not hooked up. I do not have front or rear cocktail shakers and four speed console, still for a forty five year old car, it has a lot of potential, it is not a basket case. The tires and rims are in very good condition, it has power steering and power front disc brakes. Of course it will take time and money to make it a real nice vehicle, the investment will be well worth it and Pontiac is no longer being made. The car is being sold as is with no warranty and open for inspection. If you have any questions you can call 270-846-0837, and leave a message if I do not pick up, I will return your call ASAP. |

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction
Wed, Jan 18 2017Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
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.
