1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. I purchased this car as seen in the picture with it on the U-Haul auto transport. The car barely ran & didn't move under its own power as the transmission was damaged. The non original engine (orange one my hoist) was shot, so I grabbed a spare and had it rebuilt (I have the paperwork for the rebuild so buyer can see). It has about 9.1:1 compression ratio compared to the stock compression ratio of 7.6:1. The transmission is a rebuilt TH350 with s stock torque converter. The rear differential that came in the car was a 4.33:1 geared rear, anyone who knows Pontiac engines knows that a 4.33:1 gear ratio is way too steep, something like 3.42:1 or lower works better, so for use on the highway I installed a 2.41:1 posi differential to replace the drag differential. This current engine is more than capable of moving this car like it has a 4.10:1 gear ratio. The Rochester Quadrajet is a rebuilt off a 1972 Pontiac GTO 400, the intake is painted alumiblast & is also off a 1971/72 400 without EGR provision. I have a rebuilt starter, rebuilt power steering pump, new 100amp chrome plated one wire alternator, new water pump & divider plate, new fuel pump, hoses, belts, 4 row radiator, new battery, new battery cables, new brake master cylinder, rebuilt front brake calipers, new brake pads, new brake wheel cylinders, new brake shoes, new fuel tank, new fuel sending unit, new header back exhaust system from Jeg's High Performance, new door handles & locks, new stereo (CD, AM/FM w/Aux inputs), interior cleaned up, new door seals (rubber), new trunk seal (rubber), new poly body mounts, new rear shackles, new rear bushings & new windshield. The pictures of the car with the Pontiac Rally II rims are the rims that are currently on the car, however, I will include the 15x8 snowflake rims also pictured on the car, the tires are on another vehicle but I do have the correct lug nuts & center caps. The engine has 3-4 hours of run time plus about 70 miles since the rebuild. this car has some rust issues such as the spot on the hood, the rocker panels and some surface imperfections. I will be shooting close ups of the rust this week, it is a nice driver quality car that could use a repaint and some more finishing touches. My specialty is working on the stop and go and not body repair, this car runs good and drives great especially down the highway at 70mph keeping up with the rest of traffic. This car could be driven home without issue, I would not hesitate driving this car across country as is. the seats are the only interior part that I didn't have the money to recover so that is the only thing left in the interior to be done. This car is in really good shape for being 37 years old, please feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
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.
