Calaway Firebird on 2040-cars
Ventura, California, United States
|
This is the ONLY Pontiac Firebird that Callaway Cars put the entire C8 Supernatural package on (approximately 55 Supernatural Camaros were built). Shipped directly from GM to Old Lyme, it was built at the Callaway plant. The car was featured, by Callaway, in a promotional article in August 1997 Sports Car International magazine. It includes the Supernatural 400/383 cu in engine sporting a forged steel crank, CNC machined heads with matched combustion chambers and Callaway cam; 1.5” lowered suspension upgrade with stronger trailing arms, Eibach springs, stiffer anti roll bars and Koni shocks; Callaway/Brembo brakes with 4 piston calipers and 13” cross-drilled rotors; Supernatural Tri-Y ceramic coated headers; Honker air intake system and Bridgestone 275/40ZR17 tires. It was painted by Callaway Cars in Glazurit paint to the original Pontiac Aqua color. Originally delivered, new, in March 1995, it was returned to Callaway Cars for the 435hp upgrade in January 1997. The car is original, in excellent condition with all original documentation, including engine dyno sheets and shipping papers. This car is known and remembered by Callaway Cars today. I am the original owner. Car drives beautiful, well balanced. Engine smooth and strong. There is some drivetrain vibration due to installation of 3.70 posi-traction differential gears. I never worked out the vibrations. Also, ABS is inop. The car was ordered with every option including T-Tops, 10 speaker Radio/CD sound system, cruise control, 6 speed Borg Warner manual transmission, steering wheel accessory controls and leather interior. All accessories work and A/C is cold. Never driven in rain. Always a Southern California car. No expense spared on maintenance. Original mileage 66,140. |

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
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.
