1974 Pontiac Fire Bird Trans Am Running Driving Project on 2040-cars
Sanford, Maine, United States
|
This auction listing is for a friend of mine who does not have a computer. We are listing with what information we were given and how we see the vehicle. This car is a running and driving project. Can be used as it is and be made better as you go along. To begin with, this car started life as a 1974 Pontiac Trans AM. Somewhere years ago a roof, floor section and back half of a 1978 Trans Am were sectioned onto the car. Looks like a decent fix. Have no idea why this was done. The front section fire wall forward is 1974. Cowl Tag and VIN is 1974. From the doors back it appears to be 1978.I believe the rear bumper is 74 The original 74 nose cone was damaged so he replaced it with a 76 cone for now. The owner installed a strong running 1977 400 Pontiac Motor and 4 Speed Transmission, power steering,power brakes,and tilt wheel. Also has a Posi traction rear we believe is 3:73 gear ratio. Recent dual exhaust, starter and clutch. Has a set of BF Goodrich Radial TA's 235/60R15 on front and 265/50R15 on rear. The car is fairly solid. Does have a little rust on the passenger side lower rear quarter (very fixable), small amount of rust on passenger lower rocker and a couple of soft areas on the driver side rear floor pan and passenger side front pan. Rest of the floors, frame rails and trunk pan, etc are solid. Even the rear frame rail extension under the rear bumper is good. No question it needs TLC but you can get in and drive it. A good low end muscle car project. We personally have a 1974 Pontiac Firebird parts car that has a good nose cone, grill, bumper, rear clip, etc that would work to fix this car. It is a complete rolling body and interior with no motor or trans. Call for details. We have a current Maine registration and proper transfer forms for a smooth transaction. Please bid only if you intend to follow through with the sale. These auctions take time and cost money so just be serious. If you need more info feel free to call or email us.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
