1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 5.7l Repairable Easy Project on 2040-cars
Enfield, Connecticut, United States
|
This auction is for a 1998 Trans Am with a 5.7 LS1 engine and 4L60E automatic transmission. The car has been in a very minor front end collision as shown in the pictures. It was paid off by the prior owners insurance company and therefore it has a salvage title. The car is in very nice shape and was obviously very well taken care of. The body is in nice shape, with no rust and the paint shines great. There are a few small scratches and chips here and there as is expected on a car of it's age but I would say it's in above average condition. The interior is all in very good condition as well. The seats are leather, with no rips or tears and are quite comfortable. It has all of the usual power options and a Monsoon stereo system which plays loud and clear. The wheels are chrome plated aluminum and are not peeling or flaking. The LS1 engine runs and sounds great and the car drives in the yard. I have not driven it on the street. The car has headers and a modified exhaust with no cats and an SLP intake, other than that it appears to be all stock. Everything on the car seems to work as it should. The damage on the car is very minimal, I really am at a loss as to why it was totaled. It will need a left headlight assembly, repair or replace the front cover and replace the left fender. The hood needs very minor repair as shown in the pictures. The right fender will need paint as well (clear is peeling where the auction company put tape on it). This about as easy as you can get in a project car and will require a very minimal effort to get back on the road. I have a headlight and a left fender that will be available to the winning bidder for an additional $200 if wanted. This car is being sold as is with no warranty. It is not fit for the road in it's current state due to the headlight and the fact that it is illegal to operate a salvage vehicle prior to repair in CT. It has a salvage title. Please do not bid on the car if you do not intend to buy it. Feel free to ask all questions that you have before the auction ends, I will be glad to answer them. I will be glad to assist with loading the car on a truck if you need it shipped and will try to help buyer find shipping through Central Dispatch. I have an account there and will list it to help find a ride. |

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.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
