1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l 400 Automatic on 2040-cars
Rancho Cucamonga, California, United States
|
1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a running driving project car. It has the numbers matching 400 still in the car (not the 403 so it's a 49 state car), and it appears the rest of the drivetrain is original to the car as well. This car has been resto-modded a bit as you can see by the "Classic" Cragar weld wheels and a few other cues. It has the 6X heads and an aluminum intake-don't know if it's an original Pontiac piece or not. There is a Holley dual feed carburetor as well. It has a posi rear end, my research shows it should be a 3.23 or 3.42 since it is not an A/C but a heater only car.There are also headers and glasspacks with short tailpipes. It has a painless type aftermarket wiring harness with blade type fuses. It may have been a power window car, as there are switches in the door panels and a remote mirror. It is overall pretty solid, it will need patch panels in both rear quarters in front of and behind the rear wheels, and the outside corners of the floorpans as well as ther rear corners of the trunk pan and the drop panel behind the bumper. Most of the interior is present, but will need a headliner and to be reupholstered. The subframe and rear frame rails have some surface rust but nothing deep, should clean up ok. The car spent the last few years with a military man on base in Oceanside, CA and it has a clear Florida title. It does not have the California emissions so it was never titled here. I am representing this as a car in need of total restoration, but a good starting point for someone. I have no idea what the total mileage is. It will need at the very least tuning and a safety check. The transmission has a leak, probably from around the dipstick tube as there is no upper support. I have driven it around the block a couple times but that's the extent of it. Look closely at the pictures and bid away..Please message me if you have any more questions. Car is advertised locally as well, and listing will be removed if cash shows up at my door. Thanks, Steve

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
