This is a project I bought about 10 years ago.  It was stored inside by the previous owner and has been inside since I've owned it.  I have come to the conclusion that with the other projects I have that I need to sell this one.

I will try to be clear on specifically what this listing includes.  Although this listing does not include everything needed to complete the project, for additional cost I have other parts available.  I have a couple of buildings with a lot of 60's Pontiac parts that I have accumulated over the years.  You can see some of the smaller parts in the background of some of the pictures.  The point is that depending on how you want to build this car, I probably have some parts that can help you out at a reasonable cost.  If you want pure muscle, I have a 421, 455, tri-power, ram air heads, etc.  If you want to go the restoration route, then I have a lot of original parts that can help with that as well.  Just keep in mind, this listing is specifically for the parts as described.

If possible, I encourage whoever buys this project to pick it up so we can work out something on extra parts, if interested.  If you can look at the car prior to bid closing, that is an option.  Please contact me if you have ANY questions or need additional pictures or details.  Also, mileage is what the odometer shows and I assume may not be correct.

   DRIVETRAIN:  Car currently has a 12 bolt rear-end (not original to car).  It has a code CCF1029B1 which according to on-line information is a 3.31 posi from a 1970 Chevelle.  It has a rear sway bar and boxed rear control arms.  It has disc brakes on the front which are also not original to the car according to the PHS documents. Frame is in good condition.  The transmission is a TH400 with a code BC which is a from a Buick with a 430 or 455.  The listing includes a 1968 GTO 400 block as shown in one picture.  Casting code on the block is 9790071 with a YS engine code.  The heads appear to be original to the car with a casting number of 16 and correct date code.  Some of the engine parts included are shown in the pictures, but only what is shown in pictures.  It is missing the intake or carb as well as some other engine / underhood parts.  Wheels have been repainted by previous owner.  New tires have been installed.  Center caps and trim rings are fair.  Wheels, center caps, trim rings are not original to the car.  

BODY:  Fender wells have been sandblasted and powder coated.  Radiator core support has been sandblasted and powder coated.  There is no radiator.  Hood hinges have been sandblasted and powder coated.  Enduro nose supports have been sandblasted and powder coated.  Enduro nose and grills are in good condition.  Front valance panel will need some work but is very usable.  Replacement trunk panels are laying loose and will need to be installed.  There is a replacement panel that goes between the rear window and the rear deck lid.  Doors are very good with no rot in lower corners.  Hood is good.  Rear deck lid is good except with the lower right corner which needs a little work.  All glass is good.  Floor pans appear to be in good condition.

INTERIOR:  Seats are very good to be original.  However, the bucket seats need the beading replaced and there is one panel on the driver's bucket seat that needs to be replaced.  Door panels are in very good condition.  There is no headliner.  Dash pad has some cracks.  Car has a Rally Clock.  Steering wheel has some cracks.  His/Hers Hurst shifter and console is in good condition.  Console needs the lid replaced or recovered.  There is a set of replacement carpet.  However, there is a hole near the passenger side bucket seat that would have to be repaired, if used.  

PLEASE contact me if you need to know anything or need additional information.  I have sold a few other muscle cars on Ebay and the buyer has been pleased everytime.  It is important to me that you are happy with this purchase.  So if you are not serious or unsure, please do not bid.  Again, I welcome anyone to come and check out the car.  I am located in Western NC about 2 hrs North of Atlanta or 1 hr West of Asheville.

Burt Reynolds’ former 1978 ‘Smokey’ Pontiac Trans Am in big auction by feds

Mon, Oct 21 2019

A 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds as a memento of the car he drove in the film “Smokey and the Bandit” will be among nearly 150 muscle cars and luxury vehicles seized from the alleged perpetrators of an $800 million investment scheme that will hit the auction block this weekend in California. ItÂ’s said to be the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals, seized late last year from Jeff and Paulette Carpoff, the founders of the now-defunct mobile solar generators company DC Solar. Two employees of the San Francisco Bay Area solar energy company, certified public accountant Ronald Roach, 53, and general contractor Joseph Bayliss, 44, both of the Bay Area. pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in what federal prosecutors say was a massive scheme that defrauded investors of $1 billion. Both men agreed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. While the Carpoffs, the company's owners, have not been charged, they agreed to let the government auction their collection of 150 classic, performance and luxury vehicles, including the 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds. The replica of the car the late actor drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and the other vehicles are to be auctioned Saturday, with online bidding already pushing the accumulated value past $5.5 million. Bidding on that Trans Am alone had topped $65,000 by late Tuesday. The auction company said it had been driven less than 3,400 miles. It's the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals Service. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden of the Sacramento office called it "a stunning collection of vehicles" that also includes 1990s Humvees, 1960s-era Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros from several decades, plus older cars including a 1939 Buick Roadmaster, a 1951 Chevy Thriftmaster 3100 pickup truck and a 1941 Plymouth Special Delux with wooden doors and trim. “It is rare for the U.S. Marshals to hold an auction of such a stunning collection of vehicles,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden in Sacramento said in a statement. ReynoldsÂ’ former Trans Am is a hardtop memento of the version he drove in the 1977 action comedy. It bears Bandit Run logos in the rear window and upper windshield and appears to have modified suspension components and bucket seats. It comes with a Florida registration with ReynoldsÂ’ name on it, and an autograph on the glove box that reads, “Be Safe!

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

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.
