1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am on 2040-cars
Saint Mary, Missouri, United States
ANY QUESTIONS JUST EMAIL ME: magdalenmnnuzum@gunnersfans.com .
I am offering my 1977 Pontiac Trans Am Coupe up for sale. 6.6 liter Pontiac 400 engine with the Borg-Warner T-10
4-speed manual transmission. Not numbers matching due to block being replaced by Jasper Engines during their
rebuild process.
This has been a frame up restoration over the last 12 years.. I will list a summary of what has been done, to the
best of my memory.
There are 611 miles on this car since being rebuilt.
I tore the car down completely and sandblasted the frame and them POR 15 coated it.
All new brake lines and brake booster. Re-used the existing rear drum and front disc brake system.
Rear end is the original posi-track 411.
Transmission is the rebuilt original Borg-Warner T-10 4 speed.
All new rubber body mounts.
Engine is the 6.6 liter 400 Pontiac. I had it professionally rebuilt by Jasper Engines. During the process, they
determined that the block was bad, so they replaced it. It came with a 3 year - 36,000 miile warranty. That was
about 2 1/2 years ago. I have put less than 650 miles on the car during that time. This car appears in the 2015
issue of the Jasper calendar (September).
Ceramic headers with 3 " stainless steel true dual exhaust with 12" turbo mufflers. I have the turn downs, but they
are made for 2 1/2" pipes.
Ported and polished intake with a Holley 650 carburetor. ( I have the original )
Functional hood scoop.
Aluminum OEM style radiator.
New custom engine compartment wiring harness.
Professional paint job by local body shop who used the original acrylic enamel paint color with out a clear coat.
Complete pin striping and decal set from Phoenix Graphics..The kit was technically meant for a black car, but I
liked the black and gold bird on this car since it matches the wheels.
Wheels are 15" x 8" snow flakes. I sent them off to a place in Texas and had each one professionally refinished in
gold (color).
Tires are oversized BF Goodrich Radial TAs. 275/60/15s. Less than 1000 miles on them.
I lowered the front end 2 inches by shortening new coil springs.
Custom instrument cluster with white face phantom guages.
New upper door panels, head liner, dash cover, carpet and sound deadener set.
Seats are new recovered. Interior is all buckskin in color.

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

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:
Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
