This is a basic driver
that’s tagged & insured but needs complete restoration. It was a late build, July 30, 1973 and
delivered to Daytona Beach, Florida. It is
buccaneer red with automatic transmission, rally II wheels, radial tuned
suspension, tilt steering wheels, air conditioner (compressor not included),
AM-FM stereo (not included), power windows, black custom interior with red
carpet, and rear console. (not included)
It is PHS documented and numbers matching, including VIN tag, engine
block, transmission & firewall, with correct date codes on the heads, rear
end, wheels, and body panels. And, it
has the original metal lower front valance.
It is a complete correct car except for the driver’s door, intake
manifold, carburetor, and distributor.
The intake/carb is from January 1973.
And, the distributor was replaced with a 1977 HEI unit. The odometer reads 34,257. (based on my
review, I would assume 134,257) The rear console is a less
than 5% option offered from 1971 to 1977.
And, only 2979 firebird/trans am combined were built with black interior
and another color carpet. (red, orange, blue) I’ve owned it since
2008. The engine was refreshed by the
previous owner. It includes a .030 over
bore, performance cam, and ram air exhaust manifolds. (original exhaust
manifolds included) And, I’ve serviced
the transmission (filter & vacuum modulator), rebuilt the carburetor,
distributor, brakes (including replacing caliper, brake line, & wheel
bearings) and new mufflers, battery, and tires. (Exhaust system includes
muffler dump only, but, new chrome tips included) The frame rails and
structure are solid. But, it includes a few of the normal rust issues. The worst issues include the passenger rear
floor pan, trunk pan, and both rear quarter panels. There are also a few small pin holes on
various other panels. (minor issues) The
dash pad is also cracked. Based on what
I’ve seen while making this car a basic driver, I think the car was parked
twice for an extended period. I would
assume it was wrecked once which included replacing the driver’s door and one
repaint. (no other damage is apparent) The shade of red is not correct and
doesn’t include TA decals. And, I assume
the engine was rebuilt previously due to the .030 over bore of the cylinders.
(I disassembled the top end, including removing the heads to check the basic
build) The honing marks are still
visible on the cylinder walls. And, they
include a slight lip at the top. I’m selling the car because I purchased a 1973 TA from its original owner in January instead of completing the restoration of this car. I’ve been researching and trying to purchase an original or restored 1973 TA for several years now. So, I know how hard it is to find a correct car. And, I know the value. But, the reserve on this car is very reasonable. If you want to discuss, I can be reached between 7:00 & 9:00 PM CST @ 918.274.8915 |

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
