1976 Pontiac Firebird on 2040-cars

1976 Firebird TransAm HO 455 correct Vin# WX stamped block, correct Vin# stamped 4spd Trans, correct stamped
Posi-Trac Rear end-all match correct to its (pictured) build sheet, 45k original miles. Car was meticulously
kept and loved by its original owner. Clearly a no hit no rust car that has an approx 5yr old $15k paint job. It
is absolutely stunning to see the paint in the light...they didn't look like this in 76. Look and listen to how
the doors open and close in the video below. Interior and trunk equally stunning. The rear dash is even original
(one speaker!) I purchased this car in 2013 from SW, owner of Elite Motorsports in Austin as a correct, no hit, no
rust car with 42k original miles. You see tons of "factory 455's listed but know that of the approx 47,000 T/A's
built in 76 only 7100 were HO 455's.
Nothing has been done to the car that cannot be undone to return to stock. Factory wheels still fit if that is your
preference.
Detroit Speed leaf springs and front coil-overs along with custom wheels. Drilled/slotted rotors. Handles,corners
and stops beautifully and quite different than a stock T/A from the 70's. View from the back with the wide tires
is awesome. I've been asked if it is mini-tubbed-its is the stock body.
I purchased an upper end package from Butler as they are the utmost authority on Pontiac performance. Edelbrock
Aluminum heads, a complete Lunati/CC roller cam and roller valve train, QF billet carb, Edelbrock intake, Doug's
coated headers into a stainless exhaust were all professionally installed by Elite in Austin. I wanted the car to
stay completely street-able, dependable and have a very aggressive sound at idle and hit like a hammer on
acceleration. I wanted the temperature totally controlled and had the largest Griffin aluminum radiator made that
would fit in the stock mounts- it never goes above opening temp. A/C blows cold and she runs on pump gas. If you
think it sounds good in the video you should hear it person-it never fails to turn heads. Everyone I contacted
said there was no way to retain the shaker hood scoop with the top end. I found the fabrication guy that could-no
mods to hood. Point being details were sweated on this car. I have never seen a second gen CLOSE to this car.
All adult owned, not raced on street or strip, no track days, no smoke, never left outside. I am a direct shot
from the Austin airport.

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.
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.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
