69 Firebird Trans Am Clone No Reserve Camaro Chevelle 68 70 67 on 2040-cars
Hudsonville, Michigan, United States
you are bidding on my 69 trans am clone. there is a ton to cover with this car so i'll try to get it all. first thing first I am possibly crazy but im selling at no reserve. I am however willing to accept offers as i do have the car for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction at any given time. I have pictured what the car looked like when i first bought it all the way to current. heres the scoop on the car front to back and top to bottom. This car was a 400 car originally. Exterior: New paint, front and rear bumper, emblems, side marker lights and bezels, lights, door handles, mirrors, drip rail moldings, windsheild, back glass, tires, center caps, lug nuts. Engine & Transmission: The engine is a 1970 YD code 400 built by butler performance a few years ago and has around 3,000 miles on it currently. edelbrock performer intake and carb (750 cfm) hooker super comp ceramic coated headers, thrush h-pipe exhaust system. turbo 400 transmission wich is the original to the car. new motor mounts, transmission mount and power steering lines . hei distributor. this car has the biggest cam you can buy for a pontiac motor thus robbing vaccuum to the power brake booster. the starter really needs a heat sheild to protect it from the head of the headers. new belts and hoses. aluminum 3 row radiator to help keep it cool. also has a 160 degree thermostat. Rear end: is a 10 bolt safe-t-track posi rear end with a 3.55 gear ratio. correct rear end for a 69 trans am. Brakes: new rotors, calipers, hoses, steel lines, proportioning valve, dust sheilds, booster, master cylinder rear hose, shoes and drums. the steel lines are in the front only from the matster cylinder down. the main line to the rear is the original. New gas tank and sending unit. New: door & trunk weather stripping, seat backs (not installed) rear seat upholstery (not installed) ball joints, control arm bushings, front shocks, sway bar end links, front bearings, rag joint for the steering column, the rear shocks and leaf springs are original multi leaf springs. the car once had a camaro quarter put on the drivers side. that was replaced with a correct firebird quarter before paint. the hood is a steel hood and not a fiberglass hood. the interior is original and should be redone. otherwise decent passable driver quality. the floor boards have small holes in them which the previous owner patched over them rather than doing the work correctly. I have one full length floor pan for the passenger side but never bought the drivers side. I figured i would have them corrected when i had the interior redone. the dash lights and the gas gauge randomly stopped working a couple weeks ago. Havent had it looked at and not sure why so that should be addressed. this car is not a 100 point concourse frame off restoration but sure does present its self very well. the paint quality is about an 8 out of 10 and could really look super show with a little more wet sanding and buffing to really make it look glass. the car also has brand new front subframe bushings and bolts. anymore questions please do not hesitate. I wish i could keep the car but I am selling all of my projects as I just dont have the time to play with them anymore due to family size and sporting obligations. I get thumbs up no matter where i go and this car is guaranteed to draw attention in any crowd or car show. after all how many 69 trans am's do you see at car shows? EXACTLY!!! be the only one there every single time! |

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids
Tue, May 29 2018Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
Looking Back At Oprah's Free-Car Giveaway 10 Years Later
Fri, Sep 12 2014Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6." But this is not just any G6. This car is a part of television history. Vielweber won her G6 10 years ago at a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show, when Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car. It was an unprecedented stunt that changed lives, generated controversy and ultimately failed to provide enough of a marketing lift for Pontiac, which would be shuttered just over five years later. September 13 marks the 10-year anniversary of the memorable event, which caught everyone, including audience members, by surprise. In a masterful display of showmanship, Oprah dialed up the suspense to match the enormity – and cost – of the event. First she gave away 11 cars, which would have been a landmark TV promotion by itself. But then she coyly announced: "I've got a little twist." Models circulated throughout the audience carrying silver platters loaded with white boxes wrapped in red ribbon. One contained a set of keys, Oprah implied, for another audience member to win the final car. "Do not open it. Do not shake it," she commanded the crowd. Finally, with the suspense built to a fevered pitch, everyone opened their box. They all had keys. "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" Oprah exclaimed. "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Everybody did get a car. But not everyone kept it. William Toebe attended the show with his wife, Jillaine, and he immediately thought of the tax implications, which stretched to $6,000 or more for some audience members. It was a tough reality for many in the audience that day, some of which had been selected based on their need for a new car. "That responsible part of me stepped forward and wondered 'where am I going to get the money to pay the taxes?'" he recalled.
