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. |

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
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.
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
