1973 455
TRANS AM This Trans Am has had a complete frame off
restoration on the entire car approximately 10 years ago and has barely been
driven since it was completed. The car just came out of a six year
storage and was gone through to make sure it was road worthy. The gas tank was drained and all fuel
lines flushed prior to starting motor. The oil was changed and the
coolant was replaced along with water pump in the last week. The engine
runs super smooth with that classic Engine and Transmission: This
455 original engine is the correct numbers matching motor that the car was
built with. The motor still all of its original components such as block,
heads, exhaust manifolds, etc. as when new with exception to the intake
which is a 1968 428 HO intake. I have a NOS(new old stock) correct 1973
intake for the car still in the box that will be included in the sale of the
car. It performs exceptionally well and is strong
runner. The carburetor is a new old stock correct 1973 455
Trans Am automatic carb(7043262) that I just purchased new in the GM box($1,000)
and installed recently. Great find getting that carb. The
transmission shifts nice and crisp between gears and the kick down works when
you leave it in drive and press down on the accelerator pedal for passing or
just for the thrill of it. The engine and transmission run and operate
properly with strong performance. Rear Axle, Brake, and
Suspension: The rear axle is the 3.08 that came with the car
because of A/C. The posi-traction works great with no noise and puts the
power down on the pavement. The entire suspension was gone through
and springs, bushings, sway bar links, etc where all replaced. The shocks
are high pressure KYB new on all four corners which give’s still car
exceptional handling. It goes down the road nice and flat, even in the
corners. The brakes are all new with all new rotors, drums, pads and hardware.
It also and it has a nice strong pedal. The brakes work great and
stop the car very quick. Interior: The interior has had new
carpet, door panels, seat covers, headliner and package tray installed when it
was restored years ago. The dash is absolutely beautiful from one corner
to the next. The gauges are nice and clear and all function correctly
with exception to the clock not working. The seat belts and
shoulder belts are all correct and original to the car with the one year only
1973 buckle. It does have the correct original pre-RTS turned metal dash
bezel. Body and Paint: Wow! The
car was painted its original color code 11 Cameo White. The body and
paint are both extremely straight and nice. The car has had new
rear quarter panels installed and the fit is very nice. The margins on
the panels all line up from quarters to trunk and doors to fenders to
hood. The tail panel is perfect with correct alignment to the rear
quarters under the rear bumper. See pics of rear. The doors
have nice well defined lips on them with no filler what so ever.
The paint is a high dollar paint job that I would estimate in today
dollars cost to be equivalent to around $7000 to $9000. The texture is
smooth and well color sanded and buffed. All of the jambs were painted
out and smooth as well with no over spray. The front nose does not
have and cracks and lines up nice to fenders. All decals are new
also and look great. The entire bottom of the car was painted black
at time of restoration and is extremely solid. There is no
undercoating on the bottom side. Nothing to hide! Very nice
car!
Wheels and Tires: I have the original 15” Paperwork: I have the PHS documents
on the car and all of the equipment and codes match this car. The
car has 36500 miles on it now but I cannot guarantee the mileage as
original. There are a few other receipts also that I will include
with car when sold. Terms: I am selling the car “AS IS”
because cars of this age are. I will require a $2,000 deposit
within two days of end of auction and the balance within seven days.
Please have your funds available to purchase. If you need additional time
for balance just call me and I am sure we can work something out on time.
I will be happy to store the car for you until you have made transportation
arrangements. I will help in coordinating the shipping if you need me to
but the cost will be paid by you. Thank you for viewing my auction and feel
free to call me at 248-760-0021 if you have any questions. Bob |

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile
Thu, Mar 26 2015So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."
700 horsepower Porsche GT2 RS is the wildest 911 ever
Fri, Jun 30 2017The Porsche 911 comes in a variety of flavors, each filling a certain taste for a certain customer. Sitting atop the range is the new 911 GT2 RS. In previous generations, the GT2 had a bit of a reputation as a widowmaker, a 911 with massive power that could snap and bite with the slightest agitation. Porsche says the new model has been civilized, but with 700 horsepower going to the rear wheels, we're sure it's going to be as mad as ever. Power comes from a highly massaged version of the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Turbo S. The rear-mounted engine makes an outrageous 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Like we previously reported, the new car will use water injection to help keep things cool. The only transmission is Porsche's PDK. While enthusiasts may lament the loss of the manual, the RS models have always been about performance above all else. Simply put, the PDK is the better performance option. All that power translates to a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The engine makes 80 more horsepower than the previous model. That makes it the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. In fact, the 887 horsepower 918 Spyder is the only road-going Porsche that makes more power. The fact that Porsche trusts all of that power to go to the rear is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. In order to manage traction, the GT2 RS gets a number of upgrades. Rear-wheel steering has become commonplace in the 911 lineup, so it's no surprise to see it here. Sticky tires with 265/35 ZR 20 section rubber at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 section rubber at the rear keep things planted. That comically large rear wing adds downforce, adding to stability. The car gets standard carbon ceramic brakes. While some people prefer traditional rotors for the street, like the PDK, this is all about performance. A number of intakes and outlets complement the rear wing and maximize aerodynamic efficiency. It's a bit of a surprise that with all the focus on downforce, the GT2 RS still manages to top out at 211 mph. The hood, front wings, wheel housing vents, door mirrors, side air intakes, parts of the rear end, and a number of interior components are all made from carbon fiber. The roof has been made of magnesium. If you want to drop any pretense of civility and comfort in the pursuit of speed, Porsche is offering a Weissach package that shaves off another 40 pounds from the already impressive wet weight of 3,241.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
