Hello. You are bidding on a 1973 Formula Firebird with 400 engine, 4bbl carb, TH400 transmission and cold factory a/c. It is a true numbers matching Formula 400 survivor with 81,000 original miles. This car spent its entire life in the little California town of Portola. It has always been adult owned, driven, and maintained. I am the third owner. Condition is as follows : Engine/Drivetrain: Runs and drives great, engine does not smoke. This is a dependable, well maintained driver with no leaks. Everything works on this car, no major mechanical issues at all. Front tires are like new, rear tread is getting low so they will need replaced at some point, but that's the only thing I can think of that this car needs mechanically. I do, however, still have the original Pontiac wheels that came with the car. Tires on the stock wheels have decent tread but are old. Will ship with wheels and tires shown or the stockers, whichever you choose. Interior: Interior as you can see is in nice driver condition showing normal wear for its age. Steering column is tight. Everything works, blinkers, lights, etc. I would give the interior a solid 8 on a scale of 1-10. Body: This car has ZERO rust issues and still has all GM sheet metal that it came with from the factory. Has been repainted once over original green and has no body filler or damage repair hiding under the paint. What you see is what you get in the pictures. Paint is driver quality with chips, scratches, and parking lot dings, but as you can see is still very presentable as is. Doors, trunk and hood open and shut good. Trunk floor was just stripped down and recoated by a reputable local body shop so that the potential buyer can see just how solid it actually is. Yes, I do have the original jack and spare for this car as well. Body is excellent on this car. Overall: This is an extremely solid California driver with original sheetmetal that can be driven and enjoyed as is. Plus it`s a true Formula 400 car with all original drivetrain, not a clone This car is for sale locally as well as on Ebay so I reserve the right to end my auction at anytime before the scheduled end of auction. Potential Buyers: I have described this car honestly and to the best of my knowledge, but please, if you need additional pictures, or have any specific questions, please ask BEFORE bidding as this sale is final with no warranty. Please understand, this is a 40+year old car, so expect normal wear and tear based on mileage and my decription. Serious buyers can feel free to call me with any questions (530) 307-8973. If I don`t answer, please LEAVE A MESSAGE and I WILL call you back!! Lowball offers will not receive a response, I am not out of work, losing my house, etc. I also reserve the right to end auction at any time for local sale. Yes, this car is available in person for inspection at any time before the end of auction as I have nothing to hide. > >SERIOUS BIDDERS WITH 15 OR LESS FEEDBACK WILL CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING AS I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID OTHERWISE. NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT I HAVE DEALT WITH TOO MANY NON-PAYING BIDDERS IN THE PAST AND IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. THANKS. Out of country buyers: I have sold cars out of country in the past, have references, and am familiar with the shipping process. I prefer West Coast Shipping but will help arrange safe transport to a shipping port of your choice. Thank you Larry

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You 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.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
