1976 Pontiac Grand Prix Base Coupe 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Wichita, Kansas, United States
For sale is this
beautiful 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix SJ.
The exterior and interior color is called Buckskin. This car was
originally from Tennessee; it is an extremely clean and original car with only
64K miles. Look closely at the
photos enclosed and you will note that there are no rips or tears in the seats
or headliner. The previous owners
took really good care of the car.
I have invested approximately 21K in the car; by installing a new hand
built 461-stroker engine with chrome and aluminum accent pieces. The car has a 3 speed automatic
transmission, which shifts smoothly.
The car has new water pump, new alternator, new fan clutch and new engine,
new electronic gauges. The exhaust
system was changed from single to dual exhaust and new Walker performance
mufflers were installed and it has a nice throaty sound to it. Those are 17” American Torque Thrust
wheels with Nexen 235X55 R17 tires.
The suspension system has new rotors and brakes on the front and new
pads on the rear. 4 new Monroe
shocks were installed at each corner, and the car was aligned in July. A new Pioneer deck was installed in
August with new 6x9 speakers in the rear; it has Bluetooth connectivity, and
has a USB port as well. I also had
5 windows tinted for security.
There is a little rust starting below the opera windows in the Landau
roof, and a little around the rear wheel moldings, but it still presents well
for its age. The previous owner had the paint freshened at some point and it
still has a great shine to it. I
believe this is a 2 -owner car. The AC works well, as well as the
mechanicals. The electric windows
function properly. It has been a
great project car and I am ready to move on. It will help bring back some memories and you will enjoy
going down the highway with it. . It has that nice wide-track Pontiac ride.
You can call me at 316-210-3653 and ask for David,
I will be happy to go over any details. Car
runs and drives great without issue..

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction
Wed, Jan 18 2017Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
