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. |

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Tue, Jun 19 2018For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
