This is a basic driver
that’s tagged & insured but needs complete restoration. It was a late build, July 30, 1973 and
delivered to Daytona Beach, Florida. It is
buccaneer red with automatic transmission, rally II wheels, radial tuned
suspension, tilt steering wheels, air conditioner (compressor not included),
AM-FM stereo (not included), power windows, black custom interior with red
carpet, and rear console. (not included)
It is PHS documented and numbers matching, including VIN tag, engine
block, transmission & firewall, with correct date codes on the heads, rear
end, wheels, and body panels. And, it
has the original metal lower front valance.
It is a complete correct car except for the driver’s door, intake
manifold, carburetor, and distributor.
The intake/carb is from January 1973.
And, the distributor was replaced with a 1977 HEI unit. The odometer reads 34,257. (based on my
review, I would assume 134,257) The rear console is a less
than 5% option offered from 1971 to 1977.
And, only 2979 firebird/trans am combined were built with black interior
and another color carpet. (red, orange, blue) I’ve owned it since
2008. The engine was refreshed by the
previous owner. It includes a .030 over
bore, performance cam, and ram air exhaust manifolds. (original exhaust
manifolds included) And, I’ve serviced
the transmission (filter & vacuum modulator), rebuilt the carburetor,
distributor, brakes (including replacing caliper, brake line, & wheel
bearings) and new mufflers, battery, and tires. (Exhaust system includes
muffler dump only, but, new chrome tips included) The frame rails and
structure are solid. But, it includes a few of the normal rust issues. The worst issues include the passenger rear
floor pan, trunk pan, and both rear quarter panels. There are also a few small pin holes on
various other panels. (minor issues) The
dash pad is also cracked. Based on what
I’ve seen while making this car a basic driver, I think the car was parked
twice for an extended period. I would
assume it was wrecked once which included replacing the driver’s door and one
repaint. (no other damage is apparent) The shade of red is not correct and
doesn’t include TA decals. And, I assume
the engine was rebuilt previously due to the .030 over bore of the cylinders.
(I disassembled the top end, including removing the heads to check the basic
build) The honing marks are still
visible on the cylinder walls. And, they
include a slight lip at the top. I’m selling the car because I purchased a 1973 TA from its original owner in January instead of completing the restoration of this car. I’ve been researching and trying to purchase an original or restored 1973 TA for several years now. So, I know how hard it is to find a correct car. And, I know the value. But, the reserve on this car is very reasonable. If you want to discuss, I can be reached between 7:00 & 9:00 PM CST @ 918.274.8915 |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
