I purchased this car to fulfill one of my dreams. I always wanted one and I have enjoyed working on it and driving it. But I also have a growing family and will need to buy a larger house. So, I need to turn this car into some cash. I will be listing this locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction if I find a buyer. The Good: This is a solid, complete, virtually rust free car. The numbers matching 400 runs smooth and strong. It has a new Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke carb. I also have a holley double pumper no choke that will go with the car. The TH400 transmission is not numbers matching, but period correct, and it shifts great also. I believe it has a 3.55 rear end which is not original to the car. It has a new aluminum radiator and runs reliably cool. I also have the original Harrison radiator to go with the car as well. Much of the work I have done to the car was to improve reliability and safety. First, I replaced the lap belts in the front with a 3 point retractables and put lap belts in the rear, all with period correct GM buckles. I replaced the 4 drums with power disk brakes on all corners. It stops like a new car, maybe better. I also rewired the car with an American Autowire Power 20 kit. At the same time, I added power door locks, a viper alarm, keyless entry, and remote start system, and power trunk release. The door locks are centrallized, meaning there are no switches. When you move one door stopper, the other moves with it. I could not bring myself to cut the door panels to add switches. I also added a Retrosound radio with USB (USB is in the glove box) and Polk Audio speakers all around. The rear 6x9s fit in the back deck and new custom kick panels hold 6 1/2s up front. I slightly relocated the parking brake to keep it functional with the new speakers. I still have the original kick panels if you want to take them out. Dakota Digital analog VHX gauges in the cluster are new and very nice and clean. While rewiring the car, I also put in a new battery, a 140 amp one wire alternator, and replaced the starter with high performance guts. This is a factory AC car, but the AC is not hooked up. There is a134A compressor on the car, but I did not make it that far. And now I never will. It looks new, but it is untested. Everything else electrically works as it should. I also have a brand new semi custom car cover to go along with it and some miscellaneous parts, such as an extra fan and fan clutch in case you want to swap out the flex fan. The interior shows very well with no rips or tears in the seats, panels, or carpet. It may not be perfect, but it is very good. The paint is good but not excellent. My goal was eventually to put a very high quality paint job on this car, but never made it that far. I would say this car is a 10 footer. American Racing wheels and the tires have about 65% tread left. The car also has air shocks in the rear. This is a very good and smooth riding car that goes and stops well. The Bad: This is an original vinyl top car. There are some small spots starting to form under the top. They are not growing in size as the top is still sealed fairly well, but it will probably need to be replaced soon. The Ugly: The headliner needs some work. I replaced the old smelly insulation in the roof with some foil type insulation from a hardware store. It keeps the heat down and got rid of the old car smell, but I did not do a professional job replacing the headliner. It is there and complete so maybe someone could do a better job than me. Headliners are not that expensive anyway, just not at the top of my list. The mileage on the car is unknown. It showed 6700 miles on the odometer when I purchased it and that is what I loaded in the DD gauges when I powered them up. It has about 7400 or so miles now. The hood does not close fully at the back. It may need new hinges or just an adjustment, not sure I also have the 67 Pontiac Service Manual and PHS documentation to go along with the car. I am sure there are other miscellaneous items as well that I am forgetting to mention. I have more pictures and can answer questions upon request. |

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.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
Florida man runs down bikers in traffic
Tue, May 31 2016A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.
