1976 Trans Am 455 / 4spd "barn Find" on 2040-cars
Church Hill, Tennessee, United States
|
Im offering up one of the jewels of my personal stash! this is a complete, NEVER wrecked, NEVER blown, NEVER molested 1976 Trans Am 455/4spd car. It has only had the OEM radio and the A/C compressor removed. The a/c lines were not damaged and remain intact. It DOES RUN and DRIVE! This car was discovered in a local mans basement a couple years ago by a buddy of mine, where it had been setting since july of 1995! This is an original all OEM 455 car. The car needs and is certainly worthy of a ground up restoration. Everytime I drive this car I catch myself looking in the glove box for my Eagles 8-track! It runs, drives, and feels like a Trans Am should, tight and quick! The engine has been massaged and has a nice torquey sound and feel. THE BODY - Suffers from the all too typical rust as most T/As do, However its effects are limited to the qtr panels and the floor pan. THERE IS NO RUST OUT! In the drain trays, trunk floor, cowl panel, or sub rails! The RT Qtr will require full replacement, the LFT Qtr needs the panel behind the wheel opening. a small area in the pass front floor and the toe bd on the drivers floor. The car has never had a repaint. There are new replacements for the missing fender foilers included THE INTERIOR - Shows typical wear for a T/A of these yrs. there are no components missing. Most of the interior is tired, however the steering wheel/column are in good condition, the upper door panels are nice, the lowers are salvageable as well. the console is nice and its solid. The headliner and sail panels are most likely canidates for replacement as well. the dash is crack free. The OEM radio is missing but all other components are intact. A new carpet kit is included. THE ENGINE - Is smooth and powerful. It appears to have been rebuilt or @ least warmed over. It has what feels and sounds like a Ram Air III cam, headers and new dual exhaust. The tranny is the correct muncie with OEM shifter. The clutch is toast and needs replaced. Not having to rebuilding the engine saves a boatload of cash on the restoration. The A/C pump has been removed, but the lines have been covered to protect em.
Im selling this car as-is where-is. I fully expect the winning bidder to pick this up in East TN. I will assist with loading onto your carrier I have so many projects that Ima lifetime behind, thats the only reason Im letting it go. It will make an excellent restoration of one of pontiacs finest examples of horsepower and grace. I am more than willing to provide any information that will allow a bidder to make a well informed intelligent decision. Please ask any questions you might have. The winning bidder will be required to make a deposit of $1000.00 thru paypal @ the end of the auction with the balance due in cash or certified funds upon pick up. If you have a boatload of neg feedback you need to contact me before bidding. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck! |

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.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
