1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 on 2040-cars
West Monroe, Louisiana, United States
|
Up for auction is my beautiful just finished a 3 year frame off restoration 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 4 speed. This car was completely stripped down to the bare metal and rebuilt from the ground up. Everything is new or refinished original parts. It still has its numbers matching 400 motor which has been totally rebuilt with everything new and the Muncie 4 speed has also been rebuilt and is all new. This car is a non a/c car with standard interior and no options at all except power steering, brakes and a trunk light. I hate to sell her but I have found another project car to start on so need to sell this car to get the funds to build the next one. The title is clear and in my name. This car is 100% rust free, all rust has been cut out and replaced with new sheet metal, no bondo or fiberglass repair jobs.
The body was stripped down to bare metal and all rust cut out and replaced with all new metal. She is painted in base coat clear coat and the beautiful Lucerne Blue paint shines like a diamond! Gets attention everywhere she goes. The interior is flawless with all new carpet, upper door panels, headliner, package tray and seat upholstry. This is her original dash just refinished but the radio area was cut out so I went ahead and installed an in dash CD/MP3 player with Sirius Satellite radio. The console came from a power window car so I installed an ash tray to fill in the power switch hole. All plastic panels are solid and in great shape, original black panels just refinished. The seat belts are her original belts just cleaned up. I liked the engine turned T/A dash bezel better than the wood grain so I installed that and she did not come with the rally gauges or a tach. So I installed those also and they all work. She has a Trans Am dash harness. Now to the drive train. She has her original 400 YS code engine that has been totally rebuilt and bored 30 over with a Comp Cam XE268H cam. She has #13 heads from a 1970 GTO that have been rebuilt and flow great. Original Ram Air intake manifold with numbers matching carb that has also been rebuilt. She has RA3 exhaust manifolds and a Ram Air functional air cleaner and hood. The transmission is a rebuilt Muncie M20 and shifts great with a Hurst shifter. All new clutch and flywheel. The rear end is a 3:42 posi and has also been rebuilt. The exhaust is 2 1/2" exhaust with Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers and original style exhaust tips. Has a beautiful mean sound to her and a great idle. Sounds beautiful going through the gears. The suspension has been rebuilt and upgraded with lowering springs for the front to give her the stance she has and a WS6 front sway bar has been added along with a WS6 power steering box. The rear suspension has WS6 leaf springs and a WS6 rear sway bar. Yes this car was equipped with the factory rear sway bar but I upgraded it to a WS6 bar. The brakes are all new from front to rear with everything being new, all the fuel and brake lines are brand new. The wheels are 15x7 Rally II's and have been bead blasted and power coated with new center caps. The tires are brand new also. I literally just finished this resto a month ago and I bet she doesnt have 100 miles on her since the completion of the resto. Was going to keep her but something else caught my attention. So this car needs to go so I can fund that restoration. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or call me anytime at 318-348-4626, my name is Joe. The car is located in West Monroe, LA and the title is clear and in my name. Buyer is responsible for shipping or pick up and delivery. I will however meet the shipper at the local truck stop for pick up if need be. I require a $500.00 nonrefundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction with the remaining balance due within 10 days of the end of auction. The title and car will not be released until total payment has been received and good. The car is for sale locally aswell so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime if sold locally. Please do not bid if you do not have the funds or cant get the funds to pay for the car. Also if you have no feedback please email me before bidding. Thank You and happy bidding. |

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.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
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."
