This GTO "clone" Lemans is a great start on a restoration or use for the GTO parts for your car. It was stored for approx 20 years and has restoration started before that. The engine is a 350 pontiac that starts up and runs great with no noises or smoke. I fill the float bowl to start it. The trans is the stock trans and i dont know the condition. It did jerk the car when i first started it because it was in gear. As for the interior, it has its original bucket seats and rear seat. the buckets are tore a bit and the rears are very nice. rear side panels are good and the door panels are usable. Original center console missing glove box door. Original shifter with bad cable. NO carpet. The floors in this car are extremely solid with a couple small spots about the size of ur thumb. Headliner is tore. Dash has some cracks in the pad and someone installed a tach in the dash. Nice original steering wheel. Horn works. Glass is all there, windows go up and down, windshield is cracked. As for the body, i'll start in the back. I have a rear bumper that is straight but needs chrome, and one taillight. The decklid has rust and should be replaced. The drivers quarter has one patch behind the wheel and will need another in front of the wheel, the lower rear quarter is solid. rear tail pan has some rust behind the bumper. Passenger quarter has had a half quarter installed correctly and will need almost no attention to finish. Trunk floor will need replaced along with the gas tank mounts. The tank straps are there. I have the tank and it is usable, it was removed to repair the trunk. Drivers door is usable and will need minor repair. Passenger door has rusted inner, up to u if u can fix it or replace. The roof had some aggressive pitting due to the old vinyl top that someone started to repair and never finished. some rusting along the drivers front piller and under the windshield on the passenger side, solid under drivers side. The hood shows minor rust in the nose in the photo but i have plasma cut the rust out and welded new patches in the bad areas. It was done correctly. I also repaired the inner underside of the nose but it will need to be finished. Over all it made the hood a very usable hood. These hoods are not reproduced and extremely hard to find. The scoops are present and in good shape. The drivers fender is very solid with a minor dent around the front marker light. The vents are also in both fenders and they are original one year only "72" fenders. The passenger finder is solid with very small bubbles in the lower corner. The front enduro bumper is straight and in extremely good condition. Both headlight housings are in super shape with all hardware in them. I do not know the condition of the lights. The grills are very nice and complete with the GTO letters in the drivers grill. The front lower valance is there, not rusted, few dents. I have the front signals that go in it. The wheels are correct for the car but not original to it. Tire hold air and will work for moving the car around. The frame is straight and very solid also.I have not driven the car due to the gas tank being removed but the brakes are up on the car. I have described the car to the best of my ability and honestly. I will gladly answer any and all questions that u might have about the car. The front clip alone is almost worth what im asking for the entire car. I have put a low reserve and a low But it Now price. As an incentive i will give FREE with the car, a NEW trunk floor if the car is purchased using the Buy it Now option. The car is for sale locally and has a possibility of selling before the auction ends. I am including my personal cell number for serious people who may need further information about condition or shipping. You will need to pick it up or send a shipper who can haul a non drivable car. I want to thank u for taking the time to look at my car. 989-670-2700

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition

Tue, Aug 29 2017

The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
