WINTER SPECIAL... tried selling this car during the summer and went unsold.  Had a few offers for over $12,000 back in June and I passed them up.  Since then I have had about three or four offers during Aug and Sept for $10,000 and passed them up too.  Well now its November and the car isn't sold.  My loss is your gain.  RESERVE IS SET AT $10,000.  Seriously folks this is a freakin steal.  Best deal you've seen all year... i can almost guarantee that. 

Up for auction is my 1999 Pontiac TransAm Firehawk.  Its a black convertible with tan leather and a manual 6 speed transmission.  Car has pretty low milage of 74,500.  Not too many Firehawk convertible's out there, pretty rare car.  This car just had $1000 worth of bodywork done to it.  Make no mistake it did NOT need it but i like having my stuff super clean.  Three or four door dings were taken out, along with a rock chip on the hood (hood ended up getting completely re-painted) and some rub marks on the rear fascia were removed.  I'm saying this car has show room paint because it does.... swirl marks completely gone.  Completely new repainted hood.  You will have to see the car to believe how good the black paint looks.  It was a california car its whole life and had an easy salt-free life.  Still has a California title as I drove the car back from California last year and has been sitting ever since.  Very clean car, runs and drives great. 

Engine:  100% factory; Starts right up; runs like new with only the SLP lid mod on the air intake

SLP options:  Auburn Performance Differential

Exterior:  Paint is flawless; new bodywork just completed, not a single swirl mark on the car... immaculate... seriously...

Wheels/tires:  Tires will need to be replaced within the next 20,00 im guessing

Sound:  Aftermarket sound system with a custom made subwoofer box that doesn't take up trunk space and allows convertible top to close. Two amps: Boss 250watt for the two 6.5" kicker subs; 1600w 4-channel amp for the two JL Audio component speakers(very nice) up front and the two massive audio speakers(slim fit for the convertible mechanism) in the rear

Interior:  Leather is great, clean, visors need replaced as the cardboard inside them and worn

Make sure you watch the youtube video of it.  Ebay won't let you directly paste the link anymore so you will have to get on youtube and search "1999 Pontiac Firehawk Convertible startup / interior / walk around" copy and paste that title... It should be the first link that pops up and my user ID is sgilbertt.  I did a walk-around and a startup of the car worth watching.


That pretty much sums it all up!  The pictures don't do the car justice.  Come see it and test drive it if you like. Email me or call me at

Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500

Thu, Jun 20 2019

Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 30th Anniversary Edition

Mon, May 29 2023

With the era of the 1960s-style muscle car ended by the ever-more-stringent emissions regulations, insurance costs and higher gasoline prices of the early 1970s, GM's Pontiac Division was ready with a lineup of flash-enhanced machines packed with (alleged) European-style performance and styling. Three of them were based on the midsize A Platform for 1973: the LeMans, the Grand Prix and the brand-new Grand Am. The 1973 Grand Am was cheaper than the luxed-up Grand Prix, but still had a BMW-ish interior and wild exterior styling; sales weren't great, but the 30th anniversary of this car seemed sufficiently momentous for Pontiac to create a special-edition package for its soon-to-be-axed successor. Here's one of these rare machines, spotted recently in a Denver car graveyard. The original rear-wheel-drive Grand Am was built for the 1973-1975 and 1978-1980 model years, but its similarity to the much cheaper LeMans kept sales numbers unimpressive. When the Grand Am name was revived for a Pontiac-badged compact on the front-drive N Platform in the 1985 model year, however, it became a big seller right away and stayed that way into our current century. The N-Body Grand Am was built through 2005, with platform updates for the 1992 and 1999 model years. Along the way, it was sibling to such cars as the Oldsmobile Calais, Buick Somerset, Chevrolet Beretta and Oldsmobile Alero. By 2003, though, the ground was shifting under Pontiac's feet. The iconic Firebird had been discontinued the previous year, and even the Grand Prix's days were officially numbered. Oldsmobile would be gone after 2004, and the entire Pontiac vehicle lineup would be shaken up soon after. The last year for the Grand Am (and the Sunfire) would be 2005, with the G6 taking its place. With all that going on, why not offer a 30th Anniversary package? After all, the Grand Prix got a 40th Anniversary Edition for 2002. Our reviewer described this car as "leaner, trimmer and more contemporary" at the time, but made no mention of the 30th Anniversary Edition. The VIN says this car is a top-grade GT1 sedan, with an MSRP of $22,325 (that's about $39,920 in 2023 dollars). Two engines were available in the 2003 Grand Am: a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder with 140 horsepower and a 3.4-liter pushrod V6 with either 170 or 175 horsepower. This car has the 175-horse V6, complete with "Ram Air" cold-air induction. That name goes way back in Pontiac history.
