See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Original interior, and needs replaced. Paint is not show finish. One minor reverse dent in rear left quarter panel from object inside the trunk."
This is a matching numbers car - engine, transmission, and axle - that has spent almost its entire life in the southwest (and it shows). The floors and trunk are original and solid. While the engine, transmission, and axle are the car's original, they have been rebuilt. It's a dream car for the person interested in doing the finishing touches on a future show car.
All the hard stuff has been done. The car was stripped down and completely rebuilt (and there is documentation of it all).
- Original, matching number, 400 YT engine with #16 iron heads (it has been rebuilt and later refreshed)
- Bore is 30 over
- Crank is 10/10 over
- Edelbrock Performer RPM intake (original intake comes with the car)
- Edelbrock Thunder AVS 650 carb is brand new (Holley 750 and a quadrojet come with the car)
- Mallory Unilite distributor
- Cast iron exhaust with aluminized 2 1/2" pipes connected to Flowmaster 50 series mufflers
- Original, matching number, Turbo 400 automatic transmission (rebuilt)
- Hughes 3 1/2 quart cast aluminum pan for added cooling
- Original 10 bolt, 8.2", 1:256 ratio rear axle (assembly was rebuilt)
- Fitted with a Richmond PowerTrax system (i.e. locker) - original worn spider gears come with the car
- Original multi-leaf springs were disassembled, acid washed, and repainted
- Original floors and trunk are both in great, rust free, shape
- Power steering box and all links have been replaced
- Complete brake system has been rebuilt (power brakes, drums all around)
Many items have been replaced and have few miles on them.
- carburetor
- fuel pump
- alternator
- radiator
- gas tank
- BFG tires
- American Racing wheels
- shocks
- brake shoes
- master & slave brake cylinders
- exhaust system
- body to frame mounts
- door & trunk seals
- bumpers
The entire car is solid and rust free. Each lower quarter panel was excellently replaced with a patch panel. The doors line up perfectly. Windows roll up and down perfectly, including the rear quarter windows. Door trim is not on the car but is included with it. Originally an air conditioned model, the system is removed, but the original condenser box and heater, vents, and tubing come with the car (99% complete).
The original interior is in the car, and needs replaced. It's not an expensive thing to do, especially since it will drastically increase the value of this classic. The car was taken down to the metal and painted in 2008 (it is its original color). While it's acceptable, it is not a show finish.
I believe this care is an investment for the person willing to do the finishing touches. The winner must make a $500 deposit withing 24 hours of the auction close. The winner is responsible for the pick up of the vehicle or shipping. If the winner cannot pick up the vehicle locally, the final payment and process must go through escrow.com, with the escrow cost split between the buyer and seller (this protects us both).
P.S. I have two recent Youtube videos of the car running at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHG7Bja1E4Q and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqvNjBvRoFo. The car has only been driven around my neighborhood since the new carb and fuel pump were put on last summer, and should have a tune up. I haven't messed with the car since my back surgery. I have more restoration pictures, which I can email.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
