The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"95 percent. needs very little to be complete show quality car. all pans were professionally replaced in 04 at the same time a dakota digital dash was installed and a turbo 400. later someone put 373 gears into the posi rear end. pontiac historical lists the car as a firebird 350 that was originally the rare limelight green. if i keep the car it will go back to that color but i'll add black t/a stripes and keep the t/a look.i'd rather see someone else have it, though. i had a 71 poncho 350 built last november and i've driven this car so little that i only did the first oil change about a month ago.the headliner needs to be finished and a couple of bubbles near the fender louvers need to be cleaned up and touched up eventually. install an a/c if you want to. i didn't , i did install a 1000 watt amp and a box with two 10 inch subwoofers to fill the sound from the sony 6x9's out a little better. turn heads wherever you go and you don't have to rev the engine to get the looks."

i traded a 69 torino gt convertible for this car knowing the engine was blown.  it's just clean and it has some records of what had been done to it.  when you buy these old cars you don't get much documentation usually.

anyway, i went through two pontiac motors that had bad blocks before i found one that had been machined and the owner never picked it up.  i bought it and between the three engines i had the brackets, timing chain covers etc.  i picked up a few things from butler performance and jegs.
it's a 71 350 .040 over with heads that were milled.015 or .020 (i can't remember) in 06 when it was abandoned.  since it's .040 over instead of .030 over i'm guessing this is a second build and the head may have another .015 off of them too.  that would make 6 to 7 cc's gone from the giant combustion chambers and would bring the sug up from 7.6:1 to maybe 8:1 c/r.  still runs fine off of pump gas.  
the body is in 99 percent condition.  a couple of chips and a bubble or two.  the interior is in 80-90 percent.  they stopped when they were doing the headliner and there are a coupl of small cracks in the dash.  everything works.  lights wipers etc.  the driver side bright bulb doesn't burn and the passenger side front turn signal doesn't blink (probably a bulb and i'll fix it this weekend if it is).  all glass and chrome is in very good condition, window fels are in good condition, glass all goes up and down.  it's a really nice car.  it could stand a coat of wax because it hasn't had one in a year.
buyer is responsible for shipping.  500 dollar PAYPAL ONLY deposit is required immediately after the sale and is non refundable.  the balance is due within three days of the end of the auction.  if you can not follow those rules please don't bid.  i had this car sold before and the buyer didn't want to use paypal but would wire me the money after i handed him my banking information.  not going to happen.  don't waste our time or mine trying to scam me.
this is a nice car, i have people stopping by every week claiming they want to buy it.  i've turned down 15,000.  i know what it's worth.  i play with these old cars all the time.  you don't find them this straight outside of barrett jackson very often.
i will consider partial trades.  i need a one ton flatbed for my farm.  must be clean and have everything in working order. don't care if it's gas or diesel.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
