Up for sale, a 1968 GTO Convertible. Not many convertibles were made in 1968. Some minor rust here and there, but nothing unrepairable in my opinion, but I am not a professional body man. I believe the front fenders have been replaced, a trunk pan installed prior to me purchasing the car. The car started and ran when I purchased about a year ago. I removed the non matching engine and trans and sold, as I was going with LS3 engine. I pulled the front end off the car and the radiator support was completely rusted out, but fenders, inner fenders are ok. Minor rusting on front endure bumper and lower valence. the rest of the car is intact in one piece. The interior seems complete, including seats in good condition, original wood steering wheel, convertible top that will go up and down on it's own with a battery, but has been sewn on both sides, does not appear to leak. Original dash, gauges etc. Non factory radio, and the center console has been cut to accommodate a manual trans. Carpet is still in, not sure if original, but pretty good shape. Door panels are there, both need repairs at the bottom, window rollers are there. The convertible boot, or parade cover is gone. No spare, no jack. Frame seems to have surface rust, but I see nothing rusted through. Exhaust is still on the car, manifolds back, but all is pretty rusty. Driveshaft is good. Unsure is rearend is factory or not. 4 wheel disk brakes, unsure if wheels are 68, or original GTO rims. There are a few places on the body that appear to have been painted over rust w/o repairing, like the decklid (minor) and a cracked bondo spot on passenger door. The R Rear marker light is missing. The vinyl on dash is cracked. About 1/2 of the chrome is in good shape, the other half has some dents, but I think it's all present. Not hideaway headlights. It did run, but the brakes did not work, I do not know why. I am selling, because I have had it a year, and haven't had time to touch it and don't see it happening any time soon. I purchased from a dealer in Maine as a project car, and shipped it down to Texas. Before Maine it was in Michigan most of it's life, which explains some of the rusting. The pictures make the car look good, but I have taken the front end off the car. This is a project car, and not perfect, but it sure is nicer than a lot of the projects I see for sale with half the car missing. This car has been stored indoors for the last year. Any questions feel free to ask. I will work with your shipper, you can pick up, or I can even deliver to your door for additional cost. $500 due at auction end, balance in cash when picked up. If I deliver, delivery fees paid up front. Car is sold as is, where is with no warranty expressed or implied.

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

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.
