This 1988 Pontiac Firebird has had a lot of TLC and money put into it to make it a great car. While it is not perfect it is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
The exterior of the car is in nearly perfect condition with a NEW two stage black paint job that was professionally done. NO dings, dents or rust anywhere on the car. The old rotten weather stripping has been replaced to keep the car tight form the outside elements. The glass is all in perfect condition with NEW tint on the side and rear window to keep the sun out and give the car an aggressive stealth look. The old rotten rubber rear spoiler was replaced before paint with a NEW factory correct rear fiberglass spoiler that will last for years. The tires are brand NEW 245/50r16 Cooper Zeon all weather tires mounted on the factory aluminum 16" WS6 wheels. Under the Hood is where this car really shines. The original and powerful 5.7L LT1 has been fitted with Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock headers, Comp RV cam, K&N intake, high volume injectors, Custom 3" exhaust with flomasters and exhaust cutouts, Accel ignition, and has been SLP tuned. With these upgrades this car would be right at home on a friday night at the drag strip but still be a great daily driver! The chassis and suspension have also been upgraded. The front struts have been replaced with QA1 fully adjustable struts, all the bushings have been replaced with Energy suspension urathane bushings, and all the wear parts have been replaced. The interior of this car is in average to good condition. The front buckets and rear seat have been reupholstered with black and carbon fiber vinyl. The carpet, gauges, dash, door panels, and plastics are all in good shape. The headliner is a little ruff but not horrible, the center console lid is separating but again not horrible. The stereo has been removed. Overall this is a great car that can be driven and with a little more TLC it could be nearly perfect. Its not a project car or a piece of junk, every time I drive it I hesitate selling it because of how good it looks and how fun it is to drive. The worst problems with the car is that the fuel gauge is not working, every now and then there is a check engine light which gives me a mass air flow code, and the fact that its missing a stereo Willing to work with buyer on shipping but I do need a deposit of $500 and a contact phone number within 24 hrs of purchase. Thanks for looking |

One of Burt Reynolds' favorite cars could be yours
Fri, Apr 12 2019LOS ANGELES — One of Burt Reynolds' favorite cars is going up for auction in June along with some of his cowboy boots, hats, sports jackets and other items from his estate, Julien's Auctions said on Friday. The two-day auction in Beverly Hills, authorized by the actor's family, comes almost a year after the death at age 82 of the charming star who was one of Hollywood's favorite actors. The highlight of the auction is a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am car that Reynolds used on photo shoots and drove on the Bandit Run cross country rally, which re-enacts the journey at the center of his 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit." The car, which Reynolds co-owned with his business partner Gene Kennedy, is expected to fetch up to $500,000 at auction, Julien's said in a statement. Two pairs of leather cowboy boots — one red and one yellow — are also offered for sale with estimates ranging from $800 to $2,000 a pair, along with two cowboy hats. Reynolds started out as a football player at Florida State University (FSU) before injuries suffered in a car crash wrecked his hopes of a professional career. But his attachment to FSU remained strong. The auction includes several custom or personalized FSU baseball, basketball and varsity jackets. Other highlights include an oil on canvas painting of the actor's favorite horse titled "Cartouche," which carries an estimate of $20,000 - $30,000. Other art works, furniture and dozens of personal items are also being offered for sale. The auction will take place in Beverly Hills on June 15 and 16, and will be preceded by a public exhibition of some of the items from June 10-14. Reynolds, who was also known for the 1960s television series "Gunsmoke" and the movies "Deliverance" and "Boogie Nights,"" died of a heart attack in Florida in September 2018.

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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
