1978 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 Hurst 4-speed T-top Project!! Rare!! on 2040-cars
Medicine Bow, Wyoming, United States
UP FOR AUCTION : RARE! 1978 PONTIAC FORMULA 400 4-SPEED T-TOP PROJECT. THIS 'BIRD WAS HARD TO FIND, ONLY A HANDFUL MADE (YOU PONTIAC GUYS WOULD KNOW HOW MANY). IT COMES ORIGINAL WITH THE HURST 4-SPEED (REBUILT), AND ALL THE OTHER PARTS, EXCEPT ENGINE BLOCK. THE BODY IS ROUGH, AND WILL NEED ALOT OF WORK. THERE ARE RUSTOUT AREAS IN COMMON PLACES (FENDER BOTTOMS, REAR QUARTERS) PANS ARE SOLID. FIREWALL, AND DASH SOLID. THE INTERIOR IS "DRIVER QUALITY", WITH TYPICAL WEAR. THERE IS NO MOTOR. ALTHOUGH, IT CAME WITH A SMALL BLOCK CHEVY (EASY TO REPLACE). THIS CAR IS KIND OF AN ANOMOLY. WHEN INTRODUCED TO THE MARKET, IT WAS CLAIMED TO HAVE A "PONTIAC" ENGINE. THIS CAUSED QUITE A STIR AMONG PONTIAC ENTHUSIASTS. THIS AUCTION INCLUDES AN EXTRA DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THAT THE MARKET IS SLOW FOR A "PROJECT CAR", THUS I HAVE DECIDED TO LOWER THE PRICE. AND THE FACT THAT EVERYONE WANTS A "QUICK FLIP". THIS ONE IS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT REQUIRED TO MAKE IT A SUPER COOL MUSCLE CAR. THIS WILL BE THE LAST AND ONLY TIME I'M GONNA LIST IT. I'D JUST SOON RESTORE IT MYSELF TO SHOW ALL THE LAZY, WHINING PAINT AND BODY GUYS HOW IT'S DONE. A VERY WORTHY PROJECT. MY PLANS WERE TO DROP IN AN SBC, AND GET IT ON THE ROAD. RESTORE IT AS I GO. BUT, I AM UNABLE AT THIS TIME TO GIVE HER THE ATTENTION SHE NEEDS. MY LOSS, YOUR GAIN. $1450 . SERIOUS INQUIRIES, CALL STEVE 307.332.0383 FOR SALE LOCALLY, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CLOSE THE AUCTION AT ANY TIME. GOOD LUCK!! |

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
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.
