1967 Firebird Convertible 400 4-speed on 2040-cars

Menlo Park, California, United States

 

This auction is for a 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible 400 4-speed car. Originally a 326 car that now has a non-original 1967 Pontiac 400 engine (code YD) installed. The Muncie 4-speed transmission and 3.23 dual traction bar rear axle are original to the car. The car runs and drives well, but should be considered a project car.

The body retains its solid rust free original floors, trunk pan (with original splatter paint), quarter panels and doors. The paint is old, worn, chipped and scratched. The passenger door has a large shallow dent, the passenger fender has three holes drilled for a mirror and the rear tail panel has a trailer plug installed (see photos). The door jams and the underside of the trunk lid still retail the factory applied white paint. All four cocktail shakers are still on the car. The manual top is torn and will need replacing.

The car has new brakes (drum) and wheel cylinders, new tires with 14x6 rally ll wheels, new battery and cables, new fuel pump, new heater core and water pump, new stock exhaust system, new clutch and rebuilt stock 1967 4-speed quadrajet carburetor. The motor runs well with good oil pressure and does not smoke or leak oil, but has a faint knocking sound that comes and goes. The lifters also clatter for a few seconds after the car sits for a few days. When I purchased the car I was told the engine had at one time been rebuilt, but I have no receipts. The transmission shifts smoothly and has a Hurst shifter installed. The rear axle has the factory dual traction bars and operates quietly. The engine and engine compartment have been nicely painted and detailed.

The car is equipped with black deluxe interior, factory wood wheel and new carpets have been installed. The driver’s seat bottom is torn and the dash has a 1/2 ” hole drilled under the headlight switch. The original AM radio works and the speaker has been re-coned.  Everything on the car such as the lights, gauges, horn, wipers and heater work.

The car was originally sold in Rhode Island and appears from some old receipts moved to Texas in early 1970. The car has been in California since the mid-seventies.

I have the original protect-o-plate, owner’s manual and body broadcast sheet. This is a solid smooth running and driving project car. It won’t need floors or quarter panels installed. You can drive it as you work to improve its condition.

This 47 year old car is sold with no warranties expressed or implied. I have done my best to accurately describe this car. The reserve price is fairly set and I will not reveal it, so no emails asking about what my reserve price is. The car is available for inspection before the auction ends. The time to inspect is before the auction ends, not after you purchase the car. Please only bid if you intend to purchase the car.

 I've received several requests for a Buy-It- Now price. I've decided to let the auction run it's course. The car will sell to the highest bidder. Thanks

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It 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.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
