1969 Trans Am Recreation on 2040-cars

First off, I apologize to the 100's of watchers as the picture quality was poor, and eBay would not allow me to change them out, so I had to realist the car.

Didn’t make the best Black Friday purchase yet?  Then here is your chance to make a great purchase, and have it delivered before the holiday season ends!  

Up for auction for one week and one time only is a 1969 trans am tribute.  The car was purchased from the east coast as you currently see it in the pictures.  The previous owner replaced the quarter panels professionally (skins), and the rest of the bodywork and interior was also completed prior to my purchase of this vehicle.   The paint scheme is correct with cameo ivory exterior and blue racing stripes.  he blue interior is in very good condition, but the center console could use some TLC.  As you can see from the pictures, the car has been restored to a very nice condition, but there are a few blemishes in the paint as this car is driven (only on nice days) and is an “older” restoration.

The power plant in this “old” poncho is a 1972 455 stroked to 467.   I purchased an Eagle stroker kit with H beam rods, forged pistons, and Mahle file fit rings.  The entire rotating assembly was balanced and blueprinted.  I purchased a camshaft, new valve springs, pushrods, timing chain/gear set, and roller tip steel rockers all from comp cams.  In addition, I purchased ARP head studs to properly secure the heads to the engine block.  Topping off the motor is a pair of Pontiac #96 heads, a Holley street dominator intake manifold, and a demon 825 blow through carb. 

The head stud kit was needed, as I knew I wanted to run a supercharger, so I finally settled on a Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger.  The bracket to mount the supercharger was made by a gentleman in CA.  The bracket and supercharger fitment on the engine and in the engine bay is absolutely fantastic!  For those that want to know, the engine went to the dyno for testing, and it would eventually make a very respectable 626 HP and almost 700 foot-pounds of torque.  I believe that the intake manifold held back some of the horsepower numbers, but there is room for more boost as I do have a larger crankshaft pulley.

I installed a new four core aluminum radiator this spring, and the car ran at 195 degrees even in stop and go traffic with an outside air temp well over 95 degrees.  The radiator was guaranteed to cool to up to 950 horsepower. 

The car was an original four-speed car, but it needed an overdrive transmission.   I purchased a TKO 600 kit with a driveshaft, cross member, and a clutch.  The transmission has an .062 fifth gear so cruising is made very easy with the 3.55 posi-traction rear gear.  AT 70 MPH, the motor is turning about 2100 RPMs per the tach on the hood. 

One of the pictures shows a classic audio sound USA 630 radio which allows you the ease of bringing your iPod, thumb drive, or installing a cd changer to listen to all of your music.  Unfortunately, on of the previous owners did not do a very good job of installing one of their radios, so I thought the next potential buyer should see a picture of the radio cutout.

Most of you know approximate costs to restore cars, build Pontiac motors, add superchargers, etc., so hopefully you can appreciate me having a reserve on this item. I have receipts for all of the engine modifications and print outs of the dyno session.  In addition, there is room for more boost as I do have a larger crankshaft pulley.  If you have any questions including closeups or different angles, please ask them prior to bidding!  I do have this vehicle listed for sale locally, so I do reserve ending the auction early if a local buyer decides to purchase.  I have been an eBay member for 12 plus years with 100% feedback rating.  I want your transaction to be just as successful!  Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!
