This would be a great car to restore or use as a parts car for your project. The exterior is in great shape. There is a little bit of rust on the lower parts of the fenders, but the frame and underneath are excellent. When you open the hood, on each side about half way back where the inner lip of the fender overhangs the fender liner, there is some rust out. It's not bad, but it's the worst on the car. It has had some body work over the left rear fender, but it's not bad either. The remainder of the body is very straight and nice. It comes with its fender skirts as well. I believe this car and be restored without needing a single patch panel.

I believe all the glass is good, but I'll have to recheck on that. I will report differently if it's the case.

The front seats are missing and the rest of the interior has been dismantled. Other than the seats, it appears that most everything is there. Look at the pictures and if you have specific questions about what's there, please contact me and I will answer your questions.

I found a key that turns the ignition, so I threw a battery in it and cranked it over a little bit. It turns freely, and, from what I can see, everything is complete under the hood -- minus one hood hinge, but I think it's in the car. I don't know Pontiac engines, but "the book" says that this should be a 389, so I'm assuming that is the case. The automatic transmission is there, as is the exhaust system and rear end. I forgot to check on its options, although I remember seeing a power steering pump. I believe the windows are manual.

Before bidding please do your shipping homework. The buyer is responsible for arranging for and paying for shipping. The car is just outside of Blanding, UT 84511. I'm approximately 300 miles from Salt Lake City, UT and Albuquerque, NM, and about 400 miles from Phoenix, AZ and Denver, Co. In fact, I'm about 60 miles northwest of Four Corners, where the four states meet. I will have the tires aired up and it will be a roller, but please check into the cost of shipping before winning the bid then changing your mind. I'm afraid it will be pretty pricey to have it shipped. Call (435-459-0591) or email if you have any questions. Thanks.

This is a no reserve auction, so one bid might win it. This car is being sold AS IS, with no warranties or guarantees, other than I have described it accurately. The winning bidder is to pay a $200 deposit within 48 hours of the auction close. We will then determine how the balance is to be paid. I would like the car to be removed within a month of the auction's close, but that is negotiable, depending on your circumstances.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
