1973 Firebird Formula on 2040-cars

Year:1973 Mileage:64991

Covington, Georgia, United States

1973 Firebird Formula for sale by private owner.  This is a very nice restoration of an original rust free car from Texas.   The original color was code 74 (Florentine Red), and it has been repainted the factory color with base coat/clear coat.   The pictures will speak for the paint job; it is professionally done.   There are no issues with rust or bubbling of paint.  The trim code is 247; deluxe oxblood vinyl.   The color combination is very striking; gets lots of attention at any cruise- in or car show.   The Formula drives just as good as it looks; factory air and a nice stereo compliment the ride.

 

This is a Formula 350 and it still has the original engine in the car.   The current mileage is 64,991; but due to reviewing previous service records, I believe the Firebird has rolled over to 164,991.  The engine was pulled and had a complete rebuild in May of 2006; it performs very well with no issues. This was done around the 150,000 mile mark.  Please note the orignallity of the air cleaner and fresh air intake for the car.  New brakes, mufflers, heater core, shocks, etc. were also done is this time period.   American Racing Torque Thrusts are currently on the car; 16's on the front and 17's on the rear.   A real nice combination against the paint color.  Everthing works on the car; we drive it locally and to the visit our children.

 

Although the interior was in pretty good shape, I chose to improve on it by lining the floors with Dynamat, replace the carpet; replace a reproduction console with a real one, and install Legenday seat covers.   I have several pictures that show the work.  It is a manual window car; the seat belts are all there and functional, and the radio is a modern unit that was professionally installed in the stock location.  The drivers side window had a nasty scratch; I replaced it with a new one.

 

This is the real deal, Formula Firebird; 1973 is one of the most desirable and the most valuable years.   Please feel free to call me with any questions or set up a time to inspect and drive the car.   But, please do this before the bid ends, you will be bidding to buy.     Randy    770/634-3093


  I would like to answer a couple of common questions that were asked.   The bottom of the car has no rust; in fact, the undercoating is still present and in good shape (picture added).  I have also added pictures of the trunk; one with the original mat and one showing the clean and rust free floor.   The way to check for the original block in this car is to look for the VIN stamped into the lower front of the block.  The number is on the block; it is very clear and matches the VIN of the car.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say 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.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending 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.

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.
