First off read all of the discription and see all of the photo`s. I bought this car from the previous owner to finish and flip, The work done to this car has been very extensive; I will do my best to give all the details with out boring you to death, The following work was done by the previous owner; consisting of new quarters on both sides, full trunk pan, New hood from year one, crate 350 motor and crate TH350 transmission with a shift kit and deeper ribbed pan, 12 bolt rear-end with 391 gears, Ladder traction bars, drive shaft safety loop, Power disc brake up front, 3/8 fuel line, After market Heat and A/C system,

This is the work done by me after I got the car; First I checked everything the previous owner did and made any needed changes, I pulled the front clip off and installed new headers wrapped in high temp titanium wrap to drop heat in the engine bay, Finished running the dual exhaust out the back. I pulled the intake and installed a new Pro-comp air gap 4 barrel intake and Edel-Brock carb.
I replaced the radiator with a new aluminum high flow with twin 12" electric fans, A high out put alternator, Finished hooking up the a/c & heating system. Mounted a additional electric fan on the a/c condenser coil. New battery box and hold down, all new bolts for the complete front clip assembly. rebuilt the door hinges.
New headlights and adjuster springs, New windshield, Painted the dash, Installed a good used oem style dash gauge cluster and wiring. 
The old one was in poor condition. Radio and front and rear speakers and wire.  New after market gauges to monitor the engine.
I replaced the drivers side front floor pan and gas pedal mounting studs; cleaned the rest of the floor and painted; then added Dynamat to the floor and the doors for a better quality ride, New carpet and head liner.  All the light bulbs were replaced and connections cleaned and electrical grease applied.
All of the interior was cleaned and installed as well as new rear view mirror assembly and sun visors, I found a good spare rim and blasted it and painted it; No spare tire though.
Took all of the bright work and buffed it up as best possible and reinstalled, I cleaned up the tail panel Pontiac placard and applied a little paint and mounted it.
Blasted all of the rally 2 rims and painted the correct color and buffed up the trim pieces and balanced all tires.
I removed all of the front end and cleaned and painted the parts then installed new rubber bushings upper and lower, new upper and lower ball joints cleaned and repacked the wheel bearings. New inner and outer tie rod ends and adjusters, Center drag link and Idler arm. then installed with new front coils springs and had the alignment done. Replaced the gas tank and put in a new sending unit and After market gas gauge in the dash where a clock would normally go.
The car was completely sanded and primed then sanded again and painted a off white (Mercedes Benz Color) and clear coated. Most of the wet-sanding has been done and the large areas buffed all new seals installed. This car is not perfect or a trailer queen it is how ever a very nice and dependable daily driver if you so desire. It is truly fun to drive and is appreciated by those that see it.
Please ask questions. 904-365-1138 ask for Mike  The reserve is really low for the amount of money and work  (just over 12k) This is here for all you guys that pester me about the reserve. You could NOT build this car for the money I want and you know it; if you don`t you are not mechanically inclined. 
Here are the negatives, The front horns need to be replaced and the horn relay installed I will leave out the relay and include it so it is not damage by someone trying to make the horn work, You will need to buy a spare tire for the rim and get a jack assembly I do have the mounting hook and wing nut. The head light bezels are in poor condition as well as the tail light bezels. to complete the cloning you will need the correct tail light bezels and quarter panel emblems and trunk emblem. I am sure I have left out some thing that is why I put my phone number in the auction description. a few small chips in the paint I will attempt to repair before sold.
This car runs strong and pulls hard and it does it on regular pump gas. Lastly I am selling this to get a truck as I need one for my work; I am NOT interested in trades, I bought this to flip and have no attachments to it; I am a MOPAR guy; although i really do enjoy this car. it has classic lines and a good mix of economy power and rock solid reliability. Hope you like what you see and read, good luck bidding. I do not use Pay-Pal and want either cash upon the pick up of the car or certified bank check and from a bank that does business in Florida, Direct deposit, or U.S.Postal money order. 


On Mar-22-13 at 16:42:50 PDT, seller added the following information:

I failed to mention a few things. First I have the correct rocker molding trim pieces and a new bag of correct mounting hardware to install them that go with the car.

Second I would like to point out if you do not have at least 5 positive feed backs with no negative comments do not bid on my auction until you call me first or your bid WILL be withdrawn.
Third I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as I have it for sale locally so if you want this car make up your mind and bid because it will go.

Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500

Thu, Jun 20 2019

Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.

Pontiac should come back as a performance division for GM

Thu, Apr 6 2017

For decades the Pontiac brand was known as GM's performance brand. From the 1964 Pontiac GTO, to the 1967 Firebird, to the 1984 Fiero, to the 2006 Solstice Turbo, and 2009 G8 GXP, Pontiac had a reputation for building exciting cars, with bold styling and performance to back it up. When the Camaro was killed off in 2002, the Pontiac Firebird died off with it, and the last Pontiacs were built in early 2010. But with names like G3, G4, and G6, Pontiac's performance image had long faded from it's earlier glory days. My idea for Pontiac's revival would be to bring it back as a dedicated performance marque similar to Chevy's Super Sport (SS) line up of years past. First, and most obvious would be to bring back the Pontiac Firebird. Offering the entry-level model with the Camaro's 275HP turbo 4 cylinder engine, then having the Camaro SS's 455HP V8, but also offering a halo model Trans Am that is a revamped Camaro ZL-1 along with it's tire-shredding 650HP, supercharged V8 and race tuned suspension. Secondly, I would bring back the GTO. Which I would base on the current Chevy SS, but I would use the full 455-horsepower LS4 V8 (rather than the 415-hp setup that it has now). Furthermore, I would add the impressive 650-hp supercharged V8 to provide real competition to the Charger Hellcat. Importantly, I would make sure that the new GTO had bold, distinctive styling that really set it apart. I understand that purists would want any Pontiac GTO to be a two-door coupe, but I think that they could forgive that if the new GTO was an outstanding American performance car. Next, I would take the Buick Cascada convertible, add much bolder styling, swap in the Camaro's 275-hp turbo engine, and tune up the suspension to provide more performance than luxury (without being harsh). And finally I would round out the line up by using the new 2018 Traverse , but use the new, bold Pontiac design language to spice up the model's looks, tweak the engines for more power, and again provide a performance suspension that matches the model's new sporty looks. Obviously, having a high performance Pontiac model line up would steal away some sales from Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac models. But I think that it would more than make up for this by also stealing away sales from competing brands.
