Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Original interior, and needs replaced. Paint is not show finish. One minor reverse dent in rear left quarter panel from object inside the trunk."
This is a matching numbers car - engine, transmission, and axle - that has spent almost its entire life in the southwest (and it shows). The floors and trunk are original and solid. While the engine, transmission, and axle are the car's original, they have been rebuilt. It's a dream car for the person interested in doing the finishing touches on a future show car.
All the hard stuff has been done. The car was stripped down and completely rebuilt (and there is documentation of it all).
- Original, matching number, 400 YT engine with #16 iron heads (it has been rebuilt and later refreshed)
- Bore is 30 over
- Crank is 10/10 over
- Edelbrock Performer RPM intake (original intake comes with the car)
- Edelbrock Thunder AVS 650 carb is brand new (Holley 750 and a quadrojet come with the car)
- Mallory Unilite distributor
- Cast iron exhaust with aluminized 2 1/2" pipes connected to Flowmaster 50 series mufflers
- Original, matching number, Turbo 400 automatic transmission (rebuilt)
- Hughes 3 1/2 quart cast aluminum pan for added cooling
- Original 10 bolt, 8.2", 1:256 ratio rear axle (assembly was rebuilt)
- Fitted with a Richmond PowerTrax system (i.e. locker) - original worn spider gears come with the car
- Original multi-leaf springs were disassembled, acid washed, and repainted
- Original floors and trunk are both in great, rust free, shape
- Power steering box and all links have been replaced
- Complete brake system has been rebuilt (power brakes, drums all around)
Many items have been replaced and have few miles on them.
- carburetor
- fuel pump
- alternator
- radiator
- gas tank
- BFG tires
- American Racing wheels
- shocks
- brake shoes
- master & slave brake cylinders
- exhaust system
- body to frame mounts
- door & trunk seals
- bumpers
The entire car is solid and rust free. Each lower quarter panel was excellently replaced with a patch panel. The doors line up perfectly. Windows roll up and down perfectly, including the rear quarter windows. Door trim is not on the car but is included with it. Originally an air conditioned model, the system is removed, but the original condenser box and heater, vents, and tubing come with the car (99% complete).
The original interior is in the car, and needs replaced. It's not an expensive thing to do, especially since it will drastically increase the value of this classic. The car was taken down to the metal and painted in 2008 (it is its original color). While it's acceptable, it is not a show finish.
I believe this care is an investment for the person willing to do the finishing touches. The winner must make a $500 deposit withing 24 hours of the auction close. The winner is responsible for the pick up of the vehicle or shipping. If the winner cannot pick up the vehicle locally, the final payment and process must go through escrow.com, with the escrow cost split between the buyer and seller (this protects us both).
P.S. I have two recent Youtube videos of the car running at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHG7Bja1E4Q and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqvNjBvRoFo. The car has only been driven around my neighborhood since the new carb and fuel pump were put on last summer, and should have a tune up. I haven't messed with the car since my back surgery. I have more restoration pictures, which I can email.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We 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.
Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
