If you dont think the Bandit TA from Smokey & the Bandit was cool as hell dont call on this one.. you should be looking for a pinto - we wont relate.
Almost everything built after 1972 sucked ass except the TRANS AM - you got a fast car, big motor, Handles pretty decent, sounds great, does the coolest donuts, with T -TOPS - you don't find these very often anymore and certainly not with the glass - so much cooler than convertibles.
Restored Trans Ams are getting more and more Money these days - ranging from $25K - $33K - You can get this one done all in car and restoration work for a lot less - closer to $13K by the time you are done. Anyone can handle this project - its pretty simple from here on out - better pre-order your flaming chicken decal off ebay today because this is not a long project.
The body looks rough but its not bad - not too much work to be ready for paint - no dents or creases - no rust -
The engine looks a damn mess but it runs - Truth is I wouldn't trust it - have it pulled and freshened up on the top end but it doesn't need a complete rebuild - but the tranny and rear end are fine - I drove the car less than 3 months ago. The original honeycomb wheels are all straight with no curb hit flat spots.
The Interior looks like a crackhead lived in for the past year but its complete. Grab a catalog and order OEM black vinyl seat skins, door panels, front and rear dash pad, and carpet kit and be done with it - keep your eyes open for a good condition center console on ebay as well - hey this is restoration 101 - you gotta find a few things.
I really wanted to do this one but I got way too many projects and i had to let some go if i want to finish the others for auction season.
I am open to trades - or partial trades and cash from me for cool vintage harley's or custom Harleys - you can email me at scottysfast at gmail dot com or call me or text me at 949-637-2665 the car is at my warehouse in Mesa - i split time between Orange County and Phoenix - I am in town this week - I have Clean NON Salvage Title IN HAND - I have the car for sale elsewhere and reserve the right to end the auction early.

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.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
