Here is a running, driving, numbers matching 1978 Y88 Special Edition Trans Am. It has all of the correct, original and hard to find Y88 goodies as you can see in the pictures. The dash VIN matches the engine block number stampings, the vehicles registration and the original build sheet. The vehicle is registered to me, I am a private seller. It has its original and correct fender tag, also pictured. The pictures of the car were taken this morning. All of the air conditioning components are in place, it even has a few of the original tower clamps in place. I believe the radiator and even the radiator cap are correct for the year. The car much of its origianl paint and I believe the decals are also factory. It will need paint and some bodywork. I realize the front seats have 1979 or never covers on them. As you can see the floors and trunk are solid.The dash is in fantastic shape. I have just spent well over $2,000 on 5 used OEM spoilers for the car, a tune up, an oil change, radiator flush, transmission oil change and a rear differential oil change. It has a new starter, a new alternator and a new battery. The engine does not burn oil, or make any strange noises, it runs very strong and shifts through the gears nicely. I drove it 120 miles yesterday. The car has a partial build sheet which clearly shows this to be a Y88 car. It does not have the W72 or WS6 option. The car is located in southwestern Canada, about 5 minutes from Sumas, Washington which is a major import export hub. People living in the United States can import this car through a broker in Sumas for a fee of about $400. I am more than willing to assist a buyer by driving the car to Sumas WA and helping load it on a truck for you. Of course you are also welcome to come here and pick the car up for yourself. I welcome any inpections you wish but they will be done at your cost. A non refundable deposit of $500 is required withing 24 hours of the auction closing. Please ask questions before placing a bid.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
