1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. I purchased this car as seen in the picture with it on the U-Haul auto transport. The car barely ran & didn't move under its own power as the transmission was damaged. The non original engine (orange one my hoist) was shot, so I grabbed a spare and had it rebuilt (I have the paperwork for the rebuild so buyer can see). It has about 9.1:1 compression ratio compared to the stock compression ratio of 7.6:1. The transmission is a rebuilt TH350 with s stock torque converter. The rear differential that came in the car was a 4.33:1 geared rear, anyone who knows Pontiac engines knows that a 4.33:1 gear ratio is way too steep, something like 3.42:1 or lower works better, so for use on the highway I installed a 2.41:1 posi differential to replace the drag differential. This current engine is more than capable of moving this car like it has a 4.10:1 gear ratio. The Rochester Quadrajet is a rebuilt off a 1972 Pontiac GTO 400, the intake is painted alumiblast & is also off a 1971/72 400 without EGR provision. I have a rebuilt starter, rebuilt power steering pump, new 100amp chrome plated one wire alternator, new water pump & divider plate, new fuel pump, hoses, belts, 4 row radiator, new battery, new battery cables, new brake master cylinder, rebuilt front brake calipers, new brake pads, new brake wheel cylinders, new brake shoes, new fuel tank, new fuel sending unit, new header back exhaust system from Jeg's High Performance, new door handles & locks, new stereo (CD, AM/FM w/Aux inputs), interior cleaned up, new door seals (rubber), new trunk seal (rubber), new poly body mounts, new rear shackles, new rear bushings & new windshield. The pictures of the car with the Pontiac Rally II rims are the rims that are currently on the car, however, I will include the 15x8 snowflake rims also pictured on the car, the tires are on another vehicle but I do have the correct lug nuts & center caps. The engine has 3-4 hours of run time plus about 70 miles since the rebuild. this car has some rust issues such as the spot on the hood, the rocker panels and some surface imperfections. I will be shooting close ups of the rust this week, it is a nice driver quality car that could use a repaint and some more finishing touches. My specialty is working on the stop and go and not body repair, this car runs good and drives great especially down the highway at 70mph keeping up with the rest of traffic. This car could be driven home without issue, I would not hesitate driving this car across country as is. the seats are the only interior part that I didn't have the money to recover so that is the only thing left in the interior to be done. This car is in really good shape for being 37 years old, please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
Burt Reynolds Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am sells for $450k
Mon, Dec 15 2014Apparently, there's still a lot of love out there for by Burt Reynolds and his famous role in Smokey and the Bandit – or at least for his car. As you might remember, Autoblog reported on the auction of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a few week ago. At the time, the movie star's car was already well past its $80,000 top estimate, and bidding only shot up from there for a final price of $450,000. That seems like a lot of money for a Trans Am that never actually appears in Smokey and the Bandit. According to the listing, the car was used to promote the film and was given to Reynolds afterward with his name on the title as proof of ownership. The Trans Am looks practically identical to the one in the movie with black paint, the gold firebird on the hood and Bandit name on the driver's door. This one packs a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood, an automatic transmission and a plaque inside the door that proclaims "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds." The wedding stagecoach based on an International Harvester Scout we mentioned in the earlier story also beat its top estimate of $20,000. It went for $34,375, according to the auction house's website, and in total the sale raised about $2.5 million. Scroll down to read the full announcement from Julien's Auctions. LEGENDARY STAR BURT REYNOLDS PROVES TO BE AS ICONIC AS HIS AUCTION RESULTS "Smokey and the Bandit" Trans Am Sells for $450,000 Career Memorabilia including Awards, Personal Items and Film Worn Costumes along with Vast Art Collection from Reynolds Museum Caliber Private Collection Featured at Julien's Auctions This Week Brings in $2.5 million Las Vegas, Nevada – (December 15, 2014) – Julien's Auctions, the auction house to the stars concluded a whirlwind two-day auction of The Collection of Award Winning Actor Burt Reynolds. The exciting auction event featuring personal effects, career memorabilia, and a museum-caliber fine art collection took place at the Palms Casino Resort Thursday and Friday with bidders from around the world bidding high and bidding often. Burt Reynolds, best known as a leading film star, has had a storied career both on the big and small screen. Aside from his award winning portrayals of some of the world's most iconic characters in film and television, Reynolds is also a businessman who has owned a football team, a dinner theatre, a working ranch and even a museum.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
