1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible

Here is a very sharp 1968 Firebird convertible. It was originally a 4 speed car (pedals are still hanging and I also have the original "Z" bar and drive shaft that will come with the car). Features a freshly rebuilt (100 miles ago). NOM Pontiac 400 cubic inch motor with a mild cam and paired with a 700 R automatic transmission with overdrive! New Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor and aluminum high rise intake! New battery! New B & M shifter. Newer header exhaust system with flow masters that sound awesome (deep throaty sound). Engine runs strong with nice torque and yes this car will light up the tires with ease! New power steering box and new power (front) disc brakes! All new front end parts! Very nice interior. Dash pad is in great shape! Car has new door panels and carpet. New window fuzz seals! Seat covers have also been replaced at some point and are in very good shape (no rips or tears). Blinkers, headlights, speedometer, wipers and brake lights all work fine. Heater blower motor works. Original radio is present and does not work. However, the car has a newer Alpine AM/FM cassette radio with 10 disc CD changer in trunk (ground wire came loose and currently not working). Also has a power antenna. Car was painted about 3 years ago with base coat/ clear coat. I would call it a decent paint job with some nicks and a few blemishes/flaws here and there. However, it shines up nice and is very presentable and rust free through out. The rear quarters were replaced at the time of the repaint. The floor pans have also been replaced and are in great shape. The trunk does have a few fiberglass patches that look to have been done correctly and are in solid shape. The bumpers are original and are in decent shape but not perfect. Chrome is also in decent shape. Newer manual convertible top (does have a small pinch hole but otherwise in great shape). Comes with 15" Crager wheels. Dunlap GT Qualifier radial tires are like new! Car will also come with newer convertible top boot and car cover! I have priced this car to sell!!! Here is your chance to get your dream car at an affordable price!

Feel free to contact me with any questions about the car at 440-785-2687

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. However I will be happy to assist in finding transportation of the car.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob 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.

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
