The body has rust in all the normal/usual places. They are so commonly rusted in these places that LMC (and tons of other places) make all the patch panels for them, and they're all really cheap. (cab corners, rockers, lower fender pieces, etc.) pretty much any rust spot you have there is a cut and weld patch for it.
I included as many pix as I could. If you want more pix just ask and I'll send you more.
Usually everyone wants to pull the straight 6 and put a V8 in but I would just hate to do that to this truck because the straight 6 in it run so great! Just a flick of the key and it starts right up and sounds great.
All the running gear is original. All the steering and suspension parts are tight and straight. Frame is perfectly straight.
The engine is very clean, only has a minor rear main seal leak, no where else. (just put a new water pump on)
Gas tank has been removed, cleaned and sealed. Has a new fuel sending unit, fuel lines, and filter.
Trans shift nicely no noises, clutch is good, rear end sounds good, no play in the pinion, nice clean gear oil, no bearing noise. Driveline u-joints and carrier bearing are in nice shape.
Has no power steering or power brakes as original. That is something I think I'd do if I was to keep it. Disc brake conversion and power steering.
Dash is not cut up although a previous owner moved the ignition key into one of the radio holes? Don't know why. There are some small screw holes in the dash, easy fix.
The driver's door is a bit rough. (see pix) Fixable but I think it would be more advantageous to just replace it. Passenger door is in really good, tight condition...closes nice and lines up great.
The tailgate is pretty much toast, dented pretty badly. $168 for a new one. Or another idea is to replace the whole bed with a 90s Chevy bed or anything else that has a similar body-line. Just need to take some measurements and go look around you local Pick & Pull/Pull & Save wrecking yard.
This is a project truck. But it is a perfect project for a high schooler to learn to do some body work, maybe put his newly learned welding skills to the test. All the while getting to drive it because it runs so well.
There is no reserve, high bid get the truck.
I bought it to do a custom-mod to it, but I decided I better finish my 23 Street Rod and 68 Firebird projects first. Kinda need the room in the shop for them so the truck has to go.
Buyer is responsible for picking up or transporting the truck. It is driveable if you want to drive it home. Although I don't know if I'd trust the current tires on a long trip. Fronts are pretty old and weather checked. rears are two different sizes. Might need to throw a decent used set on to drive any real distance.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
