I am selling my recently-restored 1984 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

Car was purchased in June of 2012. It has the original 305 V8 with 190-195 compression on all cylinders. It runs strong. It also has the original 700R4 auto tranny which shifts smoothly. The car runs and drives great, and I recently had the A/C system recharged and converted to 134a refrigerant gas. 

I've spent more than $15k restoring the car, and this is a short list of what I've done to date...

    • Complete engine & transmission  mechanical inspection and service
    • Car was repainted (2012) the original Dark Royal (slate) blue metallic with silver ground effects
    • New 1984 hood sticker and emblems
    • New (not yet installed) lower silver side stripe decals (included as part of the sale)
    • New windshield and seal
    • Cabin floor covered with sound-deadening material
    • New ACC carpet and jute padding
    • Newly restored original-equipment steering wheel (leather)
    • Newly recovered shifter knob and e-brake lever (leather)
    • Car interior looks and smells brand new!
    • Engine bay detailed
    • Many engine parts have been powder coated or hydro printed
    • New battery
    • New Tokico lowering springs
    • New Tokico struts and shocks
    • OEM 20-slot wheels detailed
    • New BF Goodrich tires
    • Period-correct OEM radio/cassette with discreet AUX plug for MP3 player
    • New rear speakers
    • New aircraft-firewall-material hoodliner
    • New Edelbrok intake manifold
    • New Magnaflow cat converter and 3-inch exhaust
    • New power window and power door lock motors
and much, much more.

When I purchased the car back in 2012 (I paid $3,000 for it), I started a builder's log on the Third Gen website, featuring more than 1000 posts and hundreds of photos with details on what I did—or had done—to the car. I think that chronicle will give you a good understanding of all the time and money I invested in this project.


So, why am I selling my Trans Am?

I own another T/A—a 1989 Turbo—which I would like to restore, so this one has to go, as I do not have the room to store both while I work on my '89. 

Since I got the '84, it has been kept garaged and it has not seen rain. I have taken excellent care of this car. Of course I hope the new owner will love it and care for it just as much.

Trans Ams of this vintage are hard to find in nice condition, and this one is ready to be driven to the next car show. Items that still need attention include the fuel gauge (not working), and the power window switches sometimes stick, even though they are brand new replacement parts.

Don't let this one get away. I am offering the car locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if I sell it to a Central Florida buyer. (I live in Orange City, between Orlando and Daytona Beach).

Auction ends this Sunday at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET)
 LOW RESERVE PRICE 

Someone's going to own this car this weekend, but if you want insure you'll be that lucky person, I have set a more-than-fair Buy It Now price, which gives you the opportunity to secure the purchase of this car immediately.

You won't be able to restore a 1984 Trans Am, to this level, for less money than my Buy It Now price. To give you a basic example of what went into this car and the attention to detail, I spent close to $500 just having the steering wheel, shifter, and e-brake knobs restored!

I know that I am totally upside-down on this one, and—as they say—my loss is your gain. But as long as you are a 3rd generation Pontiac Trans Am lover, and you want to have a good car to enjoy for years to come, I am okay with that.

Thank you for your interest!

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

GM's got 107 problems and NHTSA's No. 1

Thu, Mar 6 2014

General Motors' problems with its recall of roughly 1.6-million vehicles continue to mount. Now that it has emerged that GM knew about the problem since at least 2004 but waited to recall vehicles until February 2014, regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have begun a much deeper investigation. NHTSA has sent a 27-page survey to GM that includes 107 questions about the timeline of what led up to the recall, and it has until April 3 to reply. This isn't a simple, multiple-choice test. Automotive News believes that hundreds of pages could be required to answer some of the queries. NHTSA says that it is still investigating GM's response to the recall. "We are a data-driven organization, and we will take whatever action is appropriate based on where our findings lead us," said NHTSA in a statement on its website. If found liable, the automaker could face a fine as high as $35 million and even possible criminal charges, according to Bloomberg. NHTSA's questions include a detailed explanation of GM's examination process; how it will improve the process; why a planned redesign of the cars' key in 2005 wasn't implemented; and specific data on each complaint it received. According to Bloomberg, NHTSA also has records that show the company had a meeting with regulators to discuss the airbag failure in a Chevrolet Cobalt in 2007. New GM CEO Mary Barra has also hired an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation about what happened. It will include questioning company employees who were involved with the process from the start. The recall stems from faulty ignition switches that shut off the car while driving, and if it occurs the airbags deactivate. Thirteen deaths and 23 crashes have been caused by the problem, according to Bloomberg. If you would like to peruse NHTSA's entire questionnaire for GM, it can be viewed here.
