Up for sale on this NO RESERVE auction is my Son's 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 400-4V, Auto, Factory AC.  This car was in pretty nice shape until a drunk driver ran into it while it was parked at a friends house, my son then began the restoration process but has since lost interest and bought another vehicle.  I know the car still runs, I started it and drove it around the block.  I honestly do not know much more about the vehicle other than it needs a complete restore and is in current running condition.  Some things I have noted: 


Newer Carb and intake manifold
Newer Tires 
Needs a new floor pan 
Drivers Side Fender, front nose cone are gone.  He did not save the damaged parts so you will need to use replacements.
Most of the interior parts are gone, carpet headliner, back seats, passenger seat.  Will need new interior. 
When I drove it around the block the brakes were shot.
Front glass has a crack from the corner - all other glass is in and in good shape.
power windows worked but were slow.
Other than the damage caused the rest of the body appears to be very straight and in good shape, doors open and close fine, panels look nice and straight, hood was not damaged in the wreck.
  
I am more than happy to make myself available to assist your shipping company, but the buyer will be responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.  I will accept cash, paypal, or a bank wire transfer.  Cashiers checks are ok only upon the issuer of the check authenticating it prior to the vehicle/title being released.

It seems to me that this would be a great project car for someone or a great parts car.  The title is a clear title, not a salvage for the state of Colorado.  I hope the car goes to a good home and it's restored to its former glory.  I would think the many great parts alone on this car are worth a nice chunk of change, but I don't have the time or resources to part it out.  

Happy Bidding.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.
