Up for bid is a 1973 Pontiac Firebird with Trans Am rear wing that has been transformed into a Formula 400 Firebird. It houses a Pontiac 400 with 7K3 heads and automatic transmission. It has the Formula hood and the Rally II wheels on BF Goodrich tires which were purchased just before I purchased it. Tires have not been abused and are still like new. The car started life in California as a 6 cylinder car and was a lighter shade of blue on the exterior. The car was showing its age virtually rust free when someone rear ended the car lightly but it was enough the insurance company totaled it. The car was bought back and was then sold to the owner in Ohio which spent about $15000 into redoing the car. There was a small surface rust spot on rear quarter lip about the size of an egg which was sanded and removed. The trunk floor was flattened out but not perfect. The formula hood was purchased. The car was sanded down and repainted in dark blue. He installed a Pontiac 400 after painting it Rustoleum red so the paint wouldn’t chip. The motor has 7K3 heads. The paint is about a 8 out of 10. There is a spot by door handle that was burned through the clear coat while buffing. The hood has some paint bubbles from paint separation due to the prep work on the fiberglas hood. There are some minor cracks in paint on the endure nose. Overall though the cars paint is nice and is driver quality but better than a lot of paint jobs I’ve seen already. There was an aftermarket stereo in it when I looked at it which disappeared from the car before picking it up and I never replaced it so the cut radio hole remains but dash is nice otherwise. The driver’s seat has a split seam on seat area and a small rip on top of back seat. There are blue neon lights under the front and side rockers of car. Although it is cool in some eyes, it is easily removable if it isn’t to your taste. Battery, fuel pump , fan, door sill plates, KYB shocks on rear and rear package tray were replaced since I bought it. I’ve had it since June 2010. I drove the car from Ohio to Pa. when I bought it. It has been driven to several long distance shows since. It is a fun car that gets attention when it goes to shows. Buyer is expected to pay all tax, tags and transfer fees. Buyer is expected to pick up the car within 10 days of auction end unless other arrangements are made with me the seller. This car is being sold as is with no warranty of any kind. I have listed this cars condition as true and correct as possible. If you are local and would like to view the car prior to bidding just ask and we will work out a time. I reserve the right to end the auction early as car has been listed locally. |

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
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.
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.
