This is a 1980 GP LJ. Originally it had the 231V-6 and 10bolt. My Dad bought this car brand new in 1980 so it's been in the family for almost 35 years. I bought it in 1992. This is what was done to the car.

I took the V-6 and drive-line out and I upgraded. I bought a Summit Racing 355CI crate engine withcorvette aluminum heads. Advertised HP is 325HP. It has hooker headers, Edlebrock Performer RPM intake with Holly 4barrel. It has aluminum rocker covers and chrome down to the oil pan. It has a built TH350 trans with a shift kit and a custom made drive shaft. The rear end is a Moser 9inch with 3:70's and a posi. The posi clutch pack needs a rebuild as I forgot to put the posi additive in it when I had it built. 4 wheel disk brakes with Hocthkiss tubular upper A arms with Camaro 11inch rotors. 11inch rotors in the back also. It also has a Accel Dist and coil.

The car was painted back in 1995 so it has a couple of nicks and chips. The car is stock 1980 white with all the chrome and body molding shaved. It also had the door handles filled with electric actuators. It has an Aqua pin strip down the side of the car with 15x8 Torque Thrust in the rear and 15x7's in the front.

The tail lights were replaced with 1979 model years. I liked the look better than the 1980's version. The interior seat were all re-upholstered and new carpet. It has a Hurst Shifter-no console. It has an original 1980's moon roof also and it doesnt leak!

The Engine and drive line only has 3500 miles on it. It needs to be driven. There are only a few issues with the car that need to be taken care of. It only needs a bit of TLC. But over-all, the car drives straight and sounds really good through its custom FlowMaster exhaust. Its a fun car to drive.

Im asking $6499.00 or BO.  I got about 6K just in the engine and driveline.

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.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
