The car still retains it's original vin number matching 400. The intake was changed to that of a '68 model year and the carb was changed to a 4 speed version (7028273  XX 0569 this has been through a rebuilder at one time and all parts are not 100% correct). 4 tube headers were added with a custom 2 1/2 dual exhaust. other engine dress up items were also added. it runs well. the engine is backed up by the TH400 and a 3.55 open 8.2 rear.

The body is in overall good shape. the trim is in good shape. It looks to be an older repaint. the verdoro green paint is faded and some rust is present. some bubbles are on the drivers rear of the hood (the understructure is good and has not been "folded"), lower rear drivers door, and right rear quarter. there is rust at the wheel opening and wheel well of the pass rear. pictures are posted of these areas. the underneath of the car, frame, floors, etc. looks good. I replaced the trunk lid with a very rust free LeMans unit and added new reproduction GTO emblem. the paint doesn't quite match. I have the trim for the trunk lid and it's in good shape, as you can see it hasn't been reinstalled though. the rear bumper and bolts have been replaced with reproduction units.  

The previous owner put alot of money into the interior. Both front door pannels and rear side pannels are new. The front and rear seat padding along with the upholstery is new. the carpet is new. the original head liner has some stiching comming undone in the right rear. a new headliner and material for the visors are included (not installed). the dash is in good overall shape.

The previous owner also replaced with new parts: power brake booster, master cylinder, brake hard lines, brake rubber hoses, front calipers, and brake pads.

I added 14x6 rally II wheels (not original '69) with new trim rings, center caps, and lug nuts. two new tires were also installed. the other two have about 50% tread.

I took a couple of videos, with a not so great camera, showing the hide-a-ways working, of the oil pressure guage, and a cold and hot start up and running with a quick walk around. they are not so great, but the best I could do with what I have.

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.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
