The Good -

Starts right up and sounds amazing.  Engine runs great.
Interior is clean with minor issues.  
Body is straight.
Was told from previous owner that the engine was "bored and stroked" and thus this car is very strong.  It can "peel out" when shifting from neutral but driven gently it will not.
New chrome bumpers
New Retro 5 Spoke Wheels
New Cooper Trend Setter Tires - Mounted and Balanced
New fan put in
New headlight bezels
Updated larger exhaust - The car sounds strong.
New battery
Updated radiator
Rebuilt and updated steering column
New steering wheel - Wood
New shifter knob
Wires cleaned up in the engine bay
Fluids topped off
New floor chrome step plates when entering from door
New hood scoop
Newish / Updated Interior black headliner and seats
Newer / Updated Fuel tank
Newer / Updated 3" Exhaust


New parts in the trunk (Not installed but purchased) -

Interior door and window handles / cranks
Essex Carpet
Sound deadener
Arm rests
Interior door panels
Performance Dual radiator fans - used for a little bit but we put on a new original piece.  Choice is up to you.
*I may return those parts not installed for money if the new owner doesn't plan on using them - As I need the money.*


Work needed - 
Body is straight but has one dent in the back left corner the size of a golf ball
Sanding and a nice paint job needed - it is primer black now.  Was red before it was black.
Light rust in a couple spots that need sanding and a couple spots of bubbles on the roof that need sanding
Could use new brakes but we do drive it every now and then just fine (the car is heavy and fast)
The color of the car is black primer with two white racing stripes - looks mean and good to me but whoever buys will probably want it painted.
Needs gauge work done.  Currently using aftermarket gauges and theirs no working speedometer.
Mileage reads as 14,9xx. 

I got two quotes for a full body and paint job - One was $8,000 and the other was $9,000 (In the CA market, not sure if it's higher here) - If that gives you any idea of the shape of the car (I don't have the money to do it).  I also included more pictures of the wheel wells and trunk.  Two of the wheel wells have a little bit of rust and a lot of dirt caked on.  The front two wheel wells are really clean, zero rust.  The trunk shows the red the car used to be which is also starting to show through on the roof of the car.

The pictures and video will show the car's shape and that it fires right up.  In the video I step on the gas for a brief second before exiting.  The quality of the sound on my phone video does no justice to the car.

Here is the video of me starting the car, revving the engine once and a close up of the engine:



I will be listing the car locally as well and reserve the right to take down the listing at any moment if I am offered a decent amount from someone local.

Have to sell due to the loss of a job.  Would have loved to see it get finished but that's life.  Hope it goes to someone who will love it.

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate

Thu, Mar 21 2019

It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Muller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hatz was still employed at the time, and in his company car. Who recorded the calls? His wife. Hatz and his missus apparently saw the storm coming and started stacking defenses early. Hatz's wife, who can be heard encouraging Hatz during at least one call, sent the recordings to Hatz's attorney from her mobile phone. According to a Google translation of the German newspaper Handelsblatt's report, she included the note, "Here is a very long, but quite informative conversation on the current situation with useful formulations." The report in Handelsblatt said that in Germany it is generally "not allowed" to record a conversation and pass it on to a third party. We don't know how the authorities will handle this matter, since prosecutors found the recordings in e-mail attachments on Mrs. Hatz's mobile phone. Remember, when the diesel scandal broke, VW spent months saying that only a small number of low-level personnel were behind it, and all of the higher-ups had been blindsided. Ex-CEO Martin Winterkorn claimed to be "stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group." Winterkorn successor Matthias Muller said, "according to current information, a few developers interfered in the engine management." Former VW USA honcho Michael Horn told a congressional committee that "a couple of software engineers" programmed the software for reasons no one could understand. In the recorded conversations, Hatz apparently called Muller to find out how VW planned to treat him.

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.
