Here's a 96 Grand Am that doesn't show up like this every day!  First things first:


Yes, it has a rebuilt title.  I won't try to deceive anyone. Life happens, this car was professionally rebuilt by Bryan's Body 'n Fender in Rockland, Maine, if you're uncomfortable with that, I understand, if you can overcome that fear, read on. As you can see he took some liberty in restoring it to it's former glory, so this car has the following new additions:

Hood scoops
2 tone Black/Green paint job
Air brushed ghost flames (in the form of a Phoenix)

This car has been maintained as long as my wife and I have owned it (29,000 miles), recently replaced are the following:

Fuel Filler Neck
Muffler hanger
Radio

The car drives wonderfully, gets decent gas mileage (25-35mg), has peppy acceleration with that V6, a great suspension helps on the corners to, and it looks good!  This would be a great car for a teen who really wants to look good.
Important to note: This car comes with 4 near new studded snow tires.  Put these on come wintertime and you'll be able to go ANYWHERE!  Trust me.  As long as there is less than 12" you'll be fine.  The all season tires that are on it also have good tread.

In the interest of full disclosure, there is a small rust spot in front of the passengers rear wheel well.  It's not really noticeable.  If you're driving it you definitely wont see it.  The A/C does need a recharge.  The check engine light is on (EVAP code), probably due to the fuel filler neck repair.  The car is currently being driven, miles are getting added on @ about 400 miles per week.  I did the numbers last week, it got 33mpg (mostly all highway).  You can't beat that for the price.

Bottom line:

How many cars do you see for sale with this few miles?
How many get that kind of gas mileage?
How many are priced like this?
Do the math, it'll last you a real long time, and it's probably one of the best deals in the country.

In case you're curious, there's nothing else wrong with the car.  Seriously. My wife just wanted to get an SUV.  Now we have one.  I'm not trading down from my Cadillac to this, so that's why it's for sale.  Come take it for a spin, the car will convince you better than I can!

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
