PHS Documented included to buyer showing rare WS7 option! The Trans AM has a Clear “California Title” in my name and Registration is current! Has Original Blue and Yellow color License Plate!! There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas! Car is Rust Free!!! This is a nice and rare factory equipped “WS7” performance handling package. Only a certain number of Trans Am were produced with this suspension which is the same as the WS6 suspension except it does not have the rear disc brake brakes and was factory built with rear drum brakes. It does have the front disc brakes and performance like the WS6 suspension! I do have the PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) Documents listing this rare WS7 Performance Suspension and will be included to the buyer. The Trans Am has the original 403 CID Engine. The VIN Number stamped on the engine matches the VIN number on the dash!!!! (see photos of VIN numbers stamped on engine block). The engine runs nice and smooth with good power!! The engine has not been altered and is very original! I don’t know if it has the original miles stated on the odometer which reads 38,614. The Trans AM has all its smog required emissions and will easily pass the California Smog Test!!! (passed the smog test on March 2014 with no issues! I can supply a copy of the smog certificate if needed!!). The transmission is a Turbo Hydromatic 350 and possibly is the original transmission but I could not locate the VIN Number, so I will not say it’s matching numbers. The transmission shifts smoothly and has no problems! The Car was built in Van Nuys, California and has no rust! The front suspension has been rebuilt with new upper and lower control arm ball joints and bushings. Front sway bar link bushings were also replaced. Has new Rear leaf springs rubber pads installed!! New Front brake calipers and brakes! Rear brakes have been also replaced and are in good condition. New gas tank!! Rubber fuel lines have also been replaced! New Duralast Battery! New weather stripping installed! (doors close a bit hard due to new weather stripping and door hinges will also need to be slightly adjusted/replaced). The car has a very nice and Shiny “Star Light” Black Paint job with nice SE (special edition) Decals!!!!! The Trans AM was restored and painted approx. 3 years ago. The body is straight and free from dents and rust. There are no major dings on the Trans Am other than the normal road debris scratches. There is No Rust located on the floor boards, wheel wells or trunk floor areas! Car is Rust Free!!! Original 15X8 Inch wheels which have been polished!! All four wheels look like new!! All four Center Wheel Caps are in good condition!! Front tires are Goodyear Radial 245-60-15 and the rear tires are BFGoodrich 275-60-15. Car was stored for a while and tires might need to be replaced. Original Steering Wheel with functional horn!! Original front and rear seat frames. Seats have been reupholstered and are in like new condition! New black Headliner with no tears! T-Tops are in very good condition with no cracks! Clean door panels!! Has New Black carpet!! Nice clean Center Console and Shifter!! Original Dash Board in good condition but does have one crack going doing the top center of it (see picture). Original chrome trimming/moldings! Has all Emblems intact!! All Original and very clean Gauges with functional tachometer!! Factory Electric Clock! Original Factory Air Conditioning! (was working but needs new air compressor to be installed all A/C lines are attached). Original manual windows!! Factory Electric Rear Defogger!! All lights are functional!! Wipers are functional!

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
Porsche Sports Car Together Fest is a labor of many Porsche loves
Sat, Sep 17 2022Over Labor Day Weekend, Porsche held its second annual Sports Car Together Fest (SCTF) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We happened to be nearby, so we swung by to check out an event we’d never heard of until a few weeks before. Reading about it on Porsche's U.S. web site made us think it would be something like Rennsport Reunion for the Midwest. Turns out SCTF is just as much of a different kind of fun. The fest Tom MooreÂ’s the man behind Dark Horse Motorsports, the motorsport consultant for Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) PR. "People love Rennsport Reunion, but thatÂ’s every three to four years," he explained. “We wanted to gather people on those off years, and we didn't want to just do a mini Rennsport, because thatÂ’s its own thing. WeÂ’ve maintained the motorsport history at Rennsport. Here [at SCTF], we're doing the current look at what Porsche racing is for." In this case, that means gathering what Moore called "our Porsche motorsport pyramid." ThatÂ’s the range of enthusiast drivers from novice to hotshoes trying to get to top-tier endurance racing, "[starting] with the progression from Porsche Club of America track days up to the top of the ladder of one-make racing in North America," the Carrera Cup North America, a series made up of nothing but the latest 500-horsepower 911 GT3 Cup cars. The three days of racing action allowed almost any kind of Porsche owner interested in clipping apexes to compete around an Indianapolis Motor Speedway layout tweaked with an infield section. This year, that included ex-NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, coming out of retirement to reunite with his longtime NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham for the top-class Cup races. Evernham told us Gordon hasnÂ’t raced in five years and he hasnÂ’t been a crew chief in 22. On very short practice, Gordon finished in 14th in the Pro Class in the first Carrera Cup race of the weekend driving the #24 Hendrick Performance Group Porsche, and 11th in the second race. Afterward, he said, "I made a pass on the white flag lap. That made my whole weekend Â… I must say that yesterday, I thought ‘man, I am getting beat out hereÂ’ and I donÂ’t like that. If I am going to be in an environment like this, I want to be competitive. But today turned the corner for me. So, I hope I get to do another one day." When we strolled the paddock after the event, exposed sheet metal proved "Rubbing is racing" is a thing in the Carrera Cup as well as NASCAR.
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.
