I will have more pics up in the next 2 days, i have 7 cars, must sell some due to parents medicals, the firebird had been garaged, but for the last year an 1/2 its been outdoors with the florida rain and sun , so the paint has bubbled up in some places, sometimes when you turn the key the starter clicks, then sometimes the car starts right up, i think it needs a new cylinoid, but anyway, it runs excellent, drives great down the road, dosent pull to the right or left, shifts great, Im not sure if this is the original engine, i bought it around five years ago from a guy that had it rebuilt, and you can tell it is because it runs very well. As long as it starts ( sometimes has the click noise and hav to try a few times more) I would feel comfortable driving this car anywhere. I believe the engine may have around 2000 miles on it since the rebuild, I still drive it here and there to break it in, there are no leaks that I have ever seen, steering is very good. This car needs the wiring looked at , and fixed, tail lights and headlights have a mind or their own and I ve tryed getting them to work , and sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. The brakes to me are great, I think all or some of the brakes have been replaced.  Two years ago i backed my other car into the driver fender of the firebird and i had the guy that painted it the performance red put on a new front fender and had it painted the same.. bondo was put in these places only that i know of, the back quarters, below one or both doors, i think some below by the tail lights,  and there may be other places, just not sure. The interior dosent have any holes, or rips, Im not sure if some of its new or some original, There are BUBBLES coming out of the paint in different places, Im going to put more pics up in the next two days and please read below in the next two days, for right now im just being brief I havnt washed it in 3 months, nor cleaned it, so thats why more will be up soon as i clean it...This car has been alot of fun and it still looks nice, but due to my mother having a stroke i cant keep up with the cars i have and need the money for her...What i know that this car needs, is new or fix the wiring, new new carpet, stereo and speakers, maybe a new starter or clyinoid and its good, the underside or floor pans look great or maybe original and the trunk is the same one without much or any rust, its a solid car when your driving it, but please remember it needs the things mentioned above.The police car goes with it, I ve had it but have taken one light off and replaced with blue, and i took the old badges off and also replaced the police on the front and back, I ve recently added some stuff recently cause i was gonna make it look as best , but due to medical needs all has to go.. Please Read Below of this in THe next two days for more info , You may also have to look 3 pages back for my seller feedback since i had been buying alot lately on ebay, The Plymouth and firebird will have more pics up tomarrow, thank you, Joe

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel

Sat, Nov 22 2014

When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
