Up for sale is a Father/Son project that never made it to completion. Over 17000$ was invested the car and new parts. another 6000$+ invested into the motor. Thats over 23000$ invested into this project. This bird is in great shape, floors are solid, trunk is solid, quarters are solid. this bird was restored and last driven in the early 2000s originally a 6cyl car. We started the conversion to a V8. About the motor in it. The engine is a 9790071 YS code pontiac 400, 350 horse engine out of a GTO. The heads are #16 D-port heads. The motor was built and set up for drag racing, it had about 3 or 4 passes on it after rebuild and break in.What I had been told about the work done includes blueprinting, forged internals, bored .30, port & polished heads, edelbrock torker rpm aluminum high rise manifold, has a rebuilt edelbrock carb. it is bolted up to a turbo 350 tranny. has a new HEI distributor to go with it still in the box. also has a posi and a non posi rear end to go with the car, not sure of the gear ratio of either rear end. The interior is new, including new dash pad, new deluxe comfort weave seats, new door panels, new carpet, new headliner, new material to cover sill plates ect. this was a very expensive kit. New wood grain steering wheel, I believe it may be a grant or a similar high quality brand. it is column shift, the floors has not been hacked up to change it to floor shift. suspension work includes new bushings, new body mount bushings, new leaf springs, new leaf spring bushings, new leaf spring hangers. upgraded to the brakes to single piston discs from 1969 model year for better stopping performance and reliability (completely new kit, including calipers, rotors spindles ect, over 1500$ invested in just the brakes up front). I will toss in a couple sets of rally rims that I have laying around since the original 15s wont fit over the larger brake set up. The fenders will need a little bit of patch work where they mount to the lower valences, I have a set of fenders in good condition that will be tossed in with the car. The car could use a new coat of paint, or some touch up work. new weather stripping through out the car aswell. This is a great project that just needs to be finished and enjoyed. included with the auction is the matching numbers ohc 6 engine and 2 speed auto transmission if you would like to go back to original. there is a rebuilt YS code block for sale on ebay right now for over 3000$ so selling the 400 could easily be profitable if originality is your goal. The car will need to be hauled on a trailer or a flat bed. We had started to change out the rear leaf springs but never finished so it is in rolling condition, but I would not recommend a tow dolly. feel free to come inspect it. The car is sold as is with bill of sale. It is a restoration project so it still needs work, but it is very solid and not to far off from driving condition. We were only a few months from completion but unfortunately life events made it impossible to complete. What it will need that i know of.(may be more needed, then just these parts, im listing the major components) Pick up is preffered or you may arrange to have a shipper come pick up the car

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
