I bought this car about 5 years ago, but had trouble navigating the California Air Resource Boards requirements to register vehicles that have had motor swaps, so it has sat in my garage awaiting the day I move out of California or the emission laws change out here. Neither has happened, and now that I've been accepted to grad school out here, I've come to grips with the fact that I have to let go of this car. I'll try to list everything that it still needs below. Despite what's probably going to be a long list, it really is a great car. I drove it around for a few months on the temporary tags, and it really is a blast. I'm sure whoever gets this car is going to have a great time with it. My loss is your gain. Shipping: You have to work out shipping. I will be super accommodating about dates and times, but you have to pick the car up before Aug 1st. Condition: Motor: The car has been extensively modified by the previous owner in order to accommodate the engine-swap. The motor is a 3800 SC from a Buick Regal GS using WCF mounts and the WCF steel flywheel. The swap is common and well-documented on the internet. The motor runs hot and I noticed the previous owner had installed an overdrive pulley on the supercharger. You will likely want to swap it out for the original (included in sale), or run the proper tune for the overdrive pulley. I don't know the actual mileage for the motor or the drivetrain. Exterior: The car was re-sprayed and the paint looks pretty decent from a distance, but there are issues. (See photos.) There is a very large chip on the front nose, probably where the previous owner had used a leather bra. There is a crack on the driver fender where the original paint underneath is exposed. The panels on the car are plastic, though, so rust is not a concern. There are also some white marks where the inconsiderate jerks who share my garage have hit it with their door. Those should buff out. Interior: The entire interior was entirely missing when I purchased the car. The skin on the driver-side door is from a fiero with manual locks so there is a weird hole where the door locks would go and the center console (aka the rear glove compartment) is missing entirely. I recently recovered the headboard and there were never were any sun-visors. Also there is a plastic part called the "spider" that the radio mounts to which has cracked. This can be sourced from a pick-and-pull or purchased from the fiero store. The radio in the picture will ship with the car. Once you replace the spider, you can re-mount the front center console which is all included. There is a small part of the seat which is worn/torn in the spot typical for Fieros from getting in/out. It should be apparent in the pictures. Drivetrain: The car has pretty much sat for five years. You should expect to want to change the tires, replace the battery, and drain and replace the fluids. I did put some gas-tender in the tank, but I don't know how long that stuff lasts for. The last time I started the car was about a year ago when I moved to this apartment complex and I drove it onto the flatbed and into the garage. (The car has been garages the entire time I've owned it.). I probably should mention that when I first got the car, I had to do a pressurized bleed on the clutch master in order to shift properly. Once I bled the system, though I drove it around for a few months with zero problems. I'm going to include a bunch of miscellaneous parts with the car. The previous owner supplied all the air conditioning parts that are needed if you want to install that. I've also bought the custom drilled rotors and (used) corvette brakes for the "big-brake upgrade", which I didn't start. All that will be included with the sale. If there are any questions, please ask. Also, please remember I need you to pick it up by Aug 1. Thanks. |

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag
Wed, Feb 20 2019Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am
Sun, Jun 28 2015The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
