PLEASE READ FIRST.....

     I really do not want to get ride of this car, but I just do not have anymore time for it and it has been sitting in my garage since the summer. I started a paint project back in April but never had the time to finish so the whole car is sanded, needs a paint job. It is a project car and could use some attention. I pulled the motor and rebuilt it, replacing nearly every gasket, seal, bearing, etc...I have tons of pictures of my work and kept almost every receipt of what I bought for it. The body has about 120K on it but the rebuilt motor has about 10K. I replaced the gauge cluster about a year ago so the mileage is off (reads about 138K). I got it tuned last year by Race Proven Motorsports in DE and it made 405rwhp (I have the paperwork to prove it). Recently, the idle has been acting up a little and when driving on the highway it seems to hesitate, could maybe use a retune. This car has been my life since I bought it, but I am getting older and need the money for other things. I have kept up with maintenance changing the oil (Mobil 1 synth) every 2500 miles. Here are all the specs on the car:

EXTERIOR

- TSP True Dual 3" to 2.5" custom exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers (pictures included)
- Pacesetter long tube headers that were ceramic coated 2 years ago. 
- 295/45/17 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials in the rear
- 10.5"X17 Torque Thrust Wheels by American Racing in rear, knock off brand in front
- BMR Torque Arm Red powdercoated
- BMR lower control arms
- Bilstein rear shocks
- BMR front sway bar
- Sphoon solid Motor Mounts
- Stock Rear Axle with reinforced differential cover

INTERIOR

- Corbeau Sport Seats
- Aftermarket sound system (Pioneer speakers in front, Alpine 6X10 in rear, JVC 10" Subwoofer, 600 Watt Amp)
- The interior was originally gray but I repainted and converted every panel to black.
- MGW short shifter
- White faced gauges
- A pillar gauge housing with Oil Pressure and Oil Temp gauge

MOTOR

- 5.7L LS1 Aluminum block (rebuilt, hot tanked)
- TSP 233/239 camshaft with 114lsa
- LS7 Lifters
- Comp Cams 7.4" Pushrods
- SLP high flow oil pump
- FAST 92mm throttle body 
- FAST 92mm Intake manifold
- Casting #799 Aluminum heads

TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH

- Rebuilt T-56 (rebuilt about a year ago by Gold Seal Transmission in Ramsey, NJ)
- 6 puck clutch by F1 Racing 
- New clutch master cylinder 
- New slave cylinder 

This car is a ton of fun and I want to see it in good hands! I don't really want to give it up but I need the money on other things right now. I would like to see what kind of offers I can get considering it needs a paint job and another tune possibly. It is probably a simple fix but I don't have the time to be messing around with it. Contact Nick at 845 598 6373. Thanks!

1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car

Mon, Nov 30 2020

Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video:   Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
