THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY TRANS AM AUCTION. THIS CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL AND VERY SOLID. I OWN A BODY SHOP HERE IN VIRGINIA AND JUST FINISHED A COMPLETE REPAINT. THIS INCLUDED STRIPPING THE CAR TO BARE METAL AND REPAIRING ANY PROBLEM AREAS, EPOXY PRIMERING, 2K PRIMERING, BLOCKING AND FINALLY FINISHING UP WITH A BASE CLEAR PAINT JOB. I WOULD RECOMMEND FINISHING THE CAR WITH TRIZACT SANDING AND BUFFING. THE CAR HAS MINOR DIE BACK THAT COMES WITH ANY MULTPLE LAYERS OF MATERIAL. ( I COULD HAVE IT DONE IF WINNING BIDDER WOULD LIKE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE ) I HAVE TAKEN THIS RESTORATION TO A POINT THAT ANYBODY COULD FINISH AT HOME. THE EXPENSIVE PART THAT MOST PEOPLE CONTRACT OUT IS DONE. THE CAR WILL NEED ALL OF THE CORRECT EXTERIOR DECALS, STRIPING, RUBBER SEALS, TIRES, ONE RIM WITH TRIM RING AND CENTER CAP AND A PARTIAL TO FULL INTERIOR KIT .THE CAR WILL COME WITH THE ORIGINAL 400 ENGINE. THIS ENGINE WILL NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD. THE 400 THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE CAR IS BELEIVED TO BE OUT OF A LATE 76 EARLY 77 TRANS AM. THIS ENGINE DOES HAVE A "NOISE " KNOCK WHEN IT RUNS, THE OIL PRESURE IS GREAT. ITEMS THAT ARE NEW THAT I INSTALLED INCLUDE PLUGS, INTAKE AND VALVE COVER GASKETS, ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND CARBURATOR KIT. I AM SURE THAT YOU MAY FIND OTHER THINGS THAT YOU FEEL THE ENGINE IN THE CAR MIGHT NEED. THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL CAR RIGHT DOWN TO THE SOLID EXHAUST WHICH STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE UNDERSIDE IS VERY SOLID WITH A DIME SIZE RUST SPOT AROUND THE CONVERTER, THIS CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE LOCALLY AND OTHER AREAS, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF NECESSARY. I WOULD ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES TO COME BY TO THE SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION. I AM IN VIRGINIA, SO PLEASE RESPECT THE TIME DIFFERENCE IF YOU ARE CALLING FROM A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE. PLEASE CALL MIKE FOR QUESTIONS. THANKS 540 353-2269

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
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.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
