1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J. I got this car as part of a package (I'm an Oldsmobile guy). Here is what I know: The car was in California before going to New Mexico in 1978 (according to the title). Been there till now. Has been off the road for many years (mid 80's).

It's all original down to the paint. Still has all four original T3 headlights. Odometer reads 41K. Assume it went over once, since it looks too rough to be original.. I was told this was a one owner car, but the current owner had the car for (at least) the last 36 years.

Original 400/4V, Turbo 400 transmission, 10 bolt posi (ratio unknown), dual exhaust, buckets/console, factory a/c, tinted glass, am radio, power steering, disc brakes. The car needs a total restoration, but is complete (nothing missing except a battery). I did get the car running, but it has a knock. You will need to trailer this car where ever you are taking it. It had a vinyl top which is long gone. It caused a small amount of rust underneath (common issue). This further caused a small rust spot behind the right rear wheel well (also common). Unfortunately it also went into the trunk, and rusted part of the trunk pan (see pics).

Other than that, the car is a completely dry southwest desert car. Interior has typical sun damage. Dash survived well (only has a few cracks). Door panels also have a few cracks. Seats/headliner and carpet are completely shot. Windshield is cracked. Passenger marker light is cracked. Has minor bumps, but no major dents. Never painted, so you can see everything in the pics.

The drivetrain is rebuild-able, or could be perfect for that GTO, or Trans AM restoration. The parts alone are worth the reserve, or this car could be nicely restored. $500 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours. Full payment will be required within 7 days (or the car will no longer be available to you). Shipping is buyer responsibility (I will assist with loading).

Please ask all questions before bidding ends, emails are quickly returned. I can store the vehicle safely in my garage for up to 30 days after the auction, but no longer (unless the car is exported). Please communicate your storage needs in advance, and I will work with you. New Mexico title is from 1978. It is open, free and clear. Bidders with negative feedback will simply have their bids cancelled/deleted. Please do not bid unless you are serious.

Thanks for looking. Paul.

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.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
