Gillespie, Illinois, United States
Please email me with any questions or requests for additional pics or something specific at: lonnie.lovaglio@vfemail.net .
This car is completely stock, with the exception of the 19” VMR rims, Bridgestone pole
position S04 summer tires, and upgraded brakes I bought and added to car. The rims/tires were $2000 (I have
receipt) and I have the original rims. It still drives comfortably and there's excellent grip on the street. The
only other change I made were the brakes, I put slotted and cross drilled rotors with carbon fiber/ceramic brake
pads on the car. It had okay braking before, now it stops very quickly. I have title in hand with NO liens.

Emissions Test passed -required in Illinois, good until 9/17
The transmission was replaced with a brand new (not rebuilt!) one at 6,000 miles (2nd gear syncro defect) at Gary
Lang Auto, so it truly only has 33,700 miles. I’ve changed the oil every 1000-2000 miles with only Mobil One
fully synthetic. A couple months ago I put in 15,000 mile Mobil One Fully Synthetic, it has about 500 miles on it.
The A/C runs perfect, car shifts great, clutch works perfectly, and the engine runs excellent. Exhaust is in
great condition. The bottom side of this car looks great. The interior looks brand new. The trunk is in perfect
condition, and under the hood this car looks great. The spare tire (yes full-size spare), Jack, lug wrench are
still in-tact. The new wheels/tires are still in perfect condition with about 500 miles on them. The previous
owner kept it in a garage year-round and drove it 3k miles a year in the summer. This car has been well kept.
I’ve owned it for around 2 years and put 3k miles a year on it. For the past year I’ve only drive it on sunny
summer days on the weekend. When I first bought it, I had to drive it one month in the snow, which of course, I
washed it daily if there was snow on the ground; I had an indoor heated garage with car wash bay, so I could clean
under the wheel wells and power wash the underside. I assure you, no salt/snow has damaged this cars integrity in
the month it was driven in February ‘14. Since I’ve owned it, I stored inside the center of a concrete garage
with the car cover on it, so it never sees dust, let alone the outdoor elements.
This is an adult driven car, the only reason I’m selling this car is my new job doesn’t require I travel
anywhere, so it’s only getting 15 miles a month on it in the spring/summer/fall. It’s waste to just store the
car, this car is in top notch condition and ready to drive cross country or anywhere else for that matter.
Extra things included with car:
-Brand new OEM fob and cut-key, just needs to be coded (you can do it w/o taking it to dealership)
-OEM Wheels with snow tires and new valve stems, balanced with stick on weights - $700 (valve stems and balance
another $132) for snow tires with 70% tread left -Dunlop Wintermaxx XL

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale
Fri, Dec 5 2014Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
