1977 Trans Am, Muscle Car, Hot Rod, Classic Smokey And The Bandit on 2040-cars
Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
|
This is the first year this smokey and the bandit car came out. It is in great condition in spite of its age. It's a real Trans Am with the 400 engine and automatic transmission. The body was exceptional and it runs and drives great. The posi trac differential can squeal the rear tires off a complete stop. The drivetrain doesn't make any weird noises, clacks, or bangs from anywhere. It honestly drives super smooth and shifts on time every time. I am going to have to have the carburetor rebuilt because it seems to run rich. It will be done by the end of this auction and I don't foresee any other issues . It has the plumbing and hoses for ac but no compressor or brackets. It also has no headliner but all the trim is there. I got this from a guy that assured me the car has matching numbers, but I haven't confirmed it. I have some pictures before we put in the carpet and paint so you can see how great the car was from the beginning. The paint is not show quality. It was done by a painters apprentice I met. The cost of materials and a case of beer. It actually looks very very decent. Like I said, the body looked good to start with. No rust anywhere, except the surface rust on the undercarriage (beauty of New Mexico cars). The only problem spot was on the hood and it looks ok from five feet away but close up, you can tell a couple more hours of body work would have been alright...I should have waited to open the case of beer! If you are looking for a frame off restoration, this is not your car. However, if you wanna car that you can "drive it like you stole it"...boom this is it. The interior has no rips, but the carpet is not original. The tires are in very good condition and the original snowflake rims look sweet! I was going to black them out but I think the next owner should decide if they want them like that or original. I don't know what else to say, but it is a really sweet car that turns heads and smokes wheels. It has its little issues here and there but can be addressed easily. Please call me for any questions or concerns. I am no master mechanic, not by a long shot but am mechanically inclined. If you want me to look for specific things like numbers or codes, just call. Ivan 575-650-2078. It is local pickup only unless we can make arrangements. I have delivered cars in the past and will do so again. I am proud of these cars so I have nothing to hide. The car is selling at no reserve, but it is also for sale locally so this auction might end at any time.

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
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
