This is what I can tell you about it:
Has ~250,000 miles. Pulled the engine because it knocked. Bearing (piston and crank) are fine in the front half of the engine (where it was knocking) so I believe it is a wrist pin, and I just don't have the time to fix it up. Opened the Super Charger to check the coupling, it was not rounded, and was still supplying boost just fine. Oil was clean as well. As a matter of fact engine was still performing with full power with the knock. There were no shavings in the pan either. As you can see in the pictures, the clear is peeling. Other then that there is no damage to the body beyond dings from stones. I have been running Royal Purple w/Royal Purple Filter since I bought the engine at 120,000 miles with a regular oil change cycle. with very little oil loss (looks like it was seeping out of the valve covers). Parts recently replaced: New Plug and Wires New EGR Valve New Mass Air Flow Sensor Altenator (10,000 miles ago) Radiator (~40,000 miles ago) Front Wheel Bearings( ~40,000) with Moog Both Tensioner Pullies and belts Had Transmission rebuilt about 40,000 miles ago A/C Pump Tires have excellent tread and were recently (well within 20,000 miles) put on Custom exhaust from engine to tail which are either 4 1/4 or 4 1/2 inch pipes with high flow cat and 2 high flow mufflers.Still looks like new. This is the last time listing. After this car will be scrapped and the valuable parts sold off. I do know the value of the super charger alone is well over $400 which I am listing the car for. |

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You 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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.
