The car was originally a V6 firebird. The donor car was a 99 formula that i had owned since 2007. The conversion was done in April 2013. I bought it from the original owner. The undercarriage has zero rust. I'm selling it because of the common situation of having kids and not having time for the car anymore.
Engine: The longblock is an 01/02 LQ4 6.0L with approximately 30k miles on it. The heads and intake are from a 2010 camaro with .040" Cometic head gaskets and ARP head bolts. The cam is a Comp 226/230 .598.600 114LSA with Patriot dual springs, FAST 39# injectors, LS2 timing chain, Melling high pressure oil pump, aftermarket lid with K&N filter(comes with spare filter), Comtech 90mm TB, LS2 MAF, Pacesetter long tube headers, 3" X-pipe with V-bands, dynomax bullets in the middle, tail pipes under the axle, Magnaflowish 4x9x14 mufflers and Borla 4.5" single tips. Cruise control module is included but needs to be wired up due to differences in wiring harness. Comes with LC-1 wideband O2 sensor setup(not installed). The car isn't bad on the street, but it definitely needs to be tuned to maximize power and efficiency. It also has a brand new oil pan gasket. Transmission/Rear-end: junk yard 4L60e with unknown mileage, huge B&M cooler, custom TCI 3200 stall(tight on the street, but gets into the power band when needed), corvette servo, poly trans mount, steel drive shaft, Auburn posi, 3.23's. Chassis/Suspension: Eibach Prokit, BMR front sway bar, BMR strut tower brace, BMR welded subframe connectors, BMR chromoly rear control arms, BMR adjustable panhard bar, poly lower control arm bushings, The rear airbags have the valve stems run through the bottom license plate holes. The rear sway bar is included but wont fit with current exhaust setup. The rack&pinion has a brand new seal kit in it. The front hub assemblies are fairly new. The tires are falken 275/40/17's with about 30% tread left. Interior/Electronics: The gauge cluster from the donor car has 150k miles, but the body itself actually has closer to 170k miles. The upper dash panel is brand new. I kept the cloth seats, because they're more comfortable than leather during Texas summers, and the driver's seat also has angle adjustment. I deleted the ash tray, but it needs to be repainted again due to the filler shrinking. The deck is a JVC with an external input for iPods, etc. The factory speakers are still in the car, but i'm including the Boston Acoustics 6.5's i had in the old car. The subwoofer is a powered Bazooka 10", which is run with RCA cables and has a volume knob on the side of the center console. The headliner has a couple of tears in it from when i fit an assembled bowflex inside the car with the hatch closed. The passenger visor was missing when i got the car, and it never bothered me. The console lid needs to be replaced or re-glued. The passenger T-top/door seal needs to be replaced, because it leaks during really bad rain storms. The antenna has been removed, because the gear was stripped, and i never used the radio anyway. The door panels have the typical cracks on the top. Body/Exterior: The car is in over-all excellent cosmetic condition for its age. It comes with the front filler panel with the bird on it, but the license plate is still underneath. the front bumper has a few touch-up spots. the quarter panels have a few dings and scratches. the paint on the side moldings is starting to fade... i would just remove them if i were keeping the car. the passenger taillamp has a hairline crack, but it has no moisture in it. The wheels are factory 01/02 WS6 speedline wheels. Anti-theft/Keyless entry: The body control module, airbag inflator module and ignition key pellet were transferred from the donor car as well. This means there are no malfunction indicator lamps illuminated on the dash, because all the modules are still synced with each other. It also allows the vehicle anti-theft system(VATS), keyless entry, and factory alarm from the donor car to be fully functional. HVAC: The A/C compressor, orifice tube, and accumulator are all brand new. So the A/C is very cold. The heater also works very well. In my opinion, these are both absolute necessities for a daily driver in South Texas. On Dec-16-13 at 09:18:11 PST, seller added the following information: The car was originally a V6 firebird. The

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.
AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
