this firebird is not a show car just yet, it needs some work to make it perfect but still a great daily driver on good condition for its age. this car has been my daily driver but i no longer have enough money to keep her. the engine is an Oldsmobile v6 with a 4 barrel carb, i don't know if its the original engine, ( some Pontiacs at this time had Oldsmobile engines originally ) it runs good and starts every time, it doesent do terible on gas considering the year it was made, still very torquey for a v6. the th 350 automatic transmission shifts perfectly. currently has only 61,413k miles, the TX registration is good until 6/14. 2nd owner since purchased new in California, Ive put more than $2,000 in her since purchased,
Pros: - new alternator in 2012 - new fuel pump in 2013 - new u joints in 2012 - re-pained dark blue in 2011 - new turn signal relay 2013 - new upholstery in 2013 - new carpet in 2012 - replaced tires in 2013, they still have lots of tread - custom sunroof with removable glass - rebuilt transmission in 2013 - front brake rotors re-surfaced in 2014 - new battery in 2014 - pioneer radio with cd, usb, aux interface - full tune up in 2012 ( new spark plugs, wires, timing, belts, thermostat, carburetor rebuilt ) - AC works ( not perfect ) has been recharged/ retrofitted to R-134a - exhaust from a 400 firebird put in 2013 ( sounds awesome ) - trans am firebird fender scoops - radiator and gas tank cleaned out in 2012 - all fluids replaced ( antifreeze, motor oil, trans. fluid, power steering, brake fluid, gear oil in rear end ) Cons: - reverse lights don't work - cruise control dosent work - paint has small chips throughout that have been touched up - currently has no headliner or dome lamp - front nose has some minor damage ( shown in pictures ) - side door windows and driver side sunroof don't seal properly and leak water at the car wash - engine shakes at about 1500 rpm's but is smooth at any other rpm range, i believe the carburetor just needs adjustment/ tuning but i don't know as i haven't looked into it yet. overall this is a great car with lots of potential and i would love to keep her if i could. i reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

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.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
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.
