Up for auction is a 4-speed 1968 Firebird with a small-block 350 engine and Cragar wheels.  This car runs and drives great.  I am selling the car because I am moving to another country for work and will not be able to store the car in the U.S.  I have had a lot of work done to this car over the past few years so here is a list:

Rebuilt transmission with less than 100 miles on it (4-speed manual Saginaw)
New floor pans and floor work
New interior carpet
New rear seat shelf
New headliner
New sail panels
New radiator
New thermostat
New battery tray
New hoses
New window cranks
New seat belts
New front, side, and rear moldings
New sill plates
New emergency brake system
New radiator fan and fan belt
Miscellaneous (spark plugs and wires, fuses, battery cables, coil pack, etc.)

New parts purchased but not yet installed:
Lock cylinders (ignition, driver and passenger doors, trunk)
Rear side panels (interior)
Armrest pads
Dome lamp
Part of the ignition key broke off inside the ignition lock cylinder, so I bought a new lock cylinder but didn't get time to install it. The same goes for the lock cylinder on the trunk. I still use the broken keys to start the car or open the trunk, but I'll give you the new lock cylinders so you can install them if you want. I also purchased new lock cylinders for the driver and passenger side door since one of the lock cylinders doesn't work.  I bought brand new rear side panels for the interior but didn't get the chance to install them, so I will give them to the winning bidder as well.  The current dome lamp works but I have a brand new one I'll be giving you as well.  I have a used pair of armrests and a brand new pair of armrest pads that are not yet installed as well.  The winning bidder will receive all of these new parts, some of which are still in the box they came in when I bought them.  I buy almost all of my parts from Classic Industries. 

The floor:
The floor is solid and ready to go.  I invested thousands to make sure it was in tip-top shape.  I had the work done by a shop that has a lot of experience with classic cars and hot rods.  Every time they encountered an issue with the floor and asked me what to do, I had them fix it.  I can give you the name of the shop in case you'd like to reach out to them.

Videos of the car:
The engine starting and running http://youtu.be/v3fZwvZcQ9g 
The body of the car http://youtu.be/lSa6ac3ynrM
The interior of the car http://youtu.be/hGNZTODqMBM


Receipts:
I've kept all the receipts and can provide them upon request.  I would also be happy to provide you with the name and phone number of my mechanic, who gave the car a tune-up last month.  

Issues:
Most of the work that remains to be done has to do with the fenders, rocker panels, paint job, etc.  (see the video I made for close-ups of the body)
Here are some additional things:
Gauges aren't working
Back tail light burnt out
Headlights aren't working
No windshield wiper blades
No radio
The interior rear view mirror and driver side exterior rear view mirror are not yet installed (I have them here but haven't put them on yet-- I will give them to the winning bidder)
Tear in driver's seat


Photos/videos:
I am including a large number of photos as well as videos of the car so you can have a pretty good idea of what it's like before you bid.  Also, you are welcome to come out for a test drive before you buy the car.

$200 Deposit required:
I am requesting a $200 deposit within 24 hours of the auction close to ensure the winning bidder is serious, with no exceptions.  I am moving out of the country and cannot afford to deal with non-paying bidders or people who just want to kick the tires. 

Let me know if you have questions about the vehicle.  The car is in the St. Louis region and you are welcome to come out and see it anytime before the auction closes. 
Good luck in the auction!

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile

Thu, Mar 26 2015

So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."
