1980 Pontiac Firebird this car was built in van nuys California and sold new at Dan Day Pontiac in Fresno California. I have the original build sheet. I bought this car 6 months ago to restore but since ive bought a GTO project and this is why im selling the Firebird. This car shows 94xxx miles and was told its original but I cant prove that. This car still has the original v6 3.8 engine that has all smog and a/c still in place the engine and transmission run very good and the front end is tight the car sits well also I believe the miles are correct. I took this car to the metal and painted it Silver I painted jams inner cowl inside trunk I took the whole car apart and painted it. This car is solid as a rock no rust in floors or rockers or frame rails quarters anywhere, I fixed a few dents but no rust. This car would make a great Trans Am clone or V8 sleeper. Im not a pro car still needs color sanded and you will find imperfections and sand scratches but if the paint job was perfect it would cost more then the car. I installed new weather stripping new carpet new door sill plates. I put new grilles a new rear window hat board I also resealed the rear window. The car was original brown with camel interior the Rally II wheels are the factory wheels that came with the car. Ive had many F Bodys and for those who know these cars its rare to find a car that has no rust and still has every body panel it was born with. This car still needs some interior work as seen in the pics. Im selling this car NO/RESERVE!!!! Things I know the car needs The rear brake shoes are metal to metal and the emergency brake is froze. It has valve covers that leak typical. The heater controls do not work heater core is hooked up. Dome light doesn't work no radio. Tires are bad. Things I know work Gas gauge horn,all lights on outside except two marker lights. Tilt steering column is tight car has roll up windows work fine. Wipers work car has idiot lights. The console glove box is not shown in pics I have it but its broke like most. The window chrome is not installed I have it and its in good shape I didn't have any clips to reinstall. You could make a daily driver out of this car with not much work or you could take this car to the next level and have a super nice car. Great Trans Am or LS swap sleeper or leave it as a Firebird you rarely see a nice Bird anymore. I was going to put the T/A birds on it and leave it be myself.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For 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:
