 This is a solid car - you will be happy. You turn the key and it roars! It is a daily driver that turns heads and gets noticed. I took it to a car show, and after being persuaded to enter it - it placed third! I have included several pics of the car. The paint is a fair older job that may need some TLC in the coming years, but from 10 ft. - it looks great. A few air pockets, but no breakthrough - look at the pics.

This was a Tempest Custom convertible with a V-6 and automatic that has been converted into a GTO. Big block 400, 4 speed on the floor and all correct badges. It has power brakes and steering and a really nice stereo as well. The amp is in the trunk, and it can be easily removed for a more "era correct" look. The rear speakers can be placed in the trunk of the back seat as shown if you usually drive with only two people.

The hidden headlights operate as they should and the convertible top does as well. A new switch has been installed to control the top and new fluid, lines and electrical hookups as well make the top glide just as it should. Everything works on the car but the gas gauge. Included is a hood mounted tach if you want to use it - or you can hook up the tach in the gauge cluster. I was going to go hood mounted, but I just haven't done it yet. The previous owner said the tach worked, but I have never hooked it up - you can shift this car by sound very easily!

As you can see in pics, this car is immaculate. I tried to get a few undercarriage pics without a lift, but they are not very good. The car is solid. You can actually drive it home, if you wish. It drives out great, and sounds even better. I would love for you to come look at it. I've had my fun - now it's someone else's turn. I am 51 and a cruiser, so you can rest assured that it hasn't been dogged!

Comes with hood tach, a brand new black era correct steering wheel, extra set of shocks, schematics and restoration info and whatever else I find that I have forgotten to mention. Why am I selling it? I have two Bronco's that I am working on (67 and 75), and I need to focus on them instead of heading to the lake every weekend in this Bad Boy! Look at my feedback - I've sold cars, motorcycles, boats, etc. I try to be as honest as I can - and I bet you like this car! I did when I got it, and I've only made it better! Please ask any questions - and Yes - I will help with shipping - if you go that route. I will warn you, though - there will be a few wires loosened in travel as well as a vac line or two. I had to go through the entire car when it arrived!

Payment has to clear - and I have a small note left on the car thru JJ Best Banc - so you can use them for financing - they've inspected the car! Got to pay them off to get your title, so it may be 72 hours or so after payment - They are quick!

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe

Thu, Feb 21 2019

In a few months, we'll reach the tenth anniversary of GM's axing of the venerable Pontiac brand. G6s, Vibes, and Matizes continued to be built until 2010, but I'm noticing a marked decrease in discarded Pontiacs lately, as I perform my junkyardy rituals. Here's a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, photographed in a Colorado wrecking yard. The Sunfire was the near-identical sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier, based on the long-running (1982-2005) J-Body platform. It was cheap and simple, looked pretty sporty (at least in coupe form), and every parts store in North America carried just about everything you'd need to keep one running. This coupe had to compete for sales not only with a vast and menacing array of imports but with GM's own Saturn SC2 (not to mention the Cavalier itself). Meanwhile, the J platform was showing its age more with each passing year. This car sports what must have been the complete line of Fatal Clothing bomber-nose-art/skate-punk/gang-tag-influenced decals, circa 2010. I actually photographed this car back in 2011, then misplaced the image files until last week. The stickers are very California-centric for a Colorado car, but then plenty of Californians — including me— move here. When you know you're a car's final owner, it's a lot easier to whip out the paint pens and redecorate the interior. Power came from the engine GM developed for the very first J-Bodies: the 2.2-liter 122 pushrod four-cylinder. 2002 was the last model year for 122-powered Sunfires and Cavaliers; the most affordable S-10/Sonoma/Hombre trucks got this engine through 2003.

It even came with a remote, so bad Midwestern farmgirls could make quick getaways when caught in the act by enraged broom-wielding mothers.

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh

Tue, Jan 31 2017

The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
