A very clean, mostly original '76 Firebird Esprit with a salvage title, last registered in 1997. Runs and drives well, no issues. Have no logical explanation for why it has a salvage title. Can't bring myself to part it out.
An interesting car with the a Carousel Red exterior, factory optional Esprit stripe kit, white vinyl half-top option, and two-tone red & white interior. Has the Pontiac 350 four-barrel engine with A/C and California smog equipment (including the OEM catalytic converter), and the Turbo 350 trans. Has the heated backlight option as well. Rolls on non-original but period-correct 14" X 6" Rally II's.
There is a visible paint blend on the left rear quarter, so there was some minor bodywork done to the rear of the car at some point. Rust pitting evident around vinyl top trim. Some pitted rust on floors and trunk pan. Hood has a serious dent and is probably FUBAR. Interior is incomplete and in need of full restoration; the carpet and headliner have been removed, and the plastic trim panels have either been removed or replaced with others. Car was obviously stored for many years. Seats are original to car.
Vehicle is offered for sale offline locally, so auction may end at any time. For faster and more complete answers to your questions, please phone 925-667-1845 anytime. Responses to emails may take up to 48 hours.

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.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
