1972 Trans Am Clone Built 400 Engine With a Manual 5 Speed California Car Runs and drives great. Engine and trans have 5400 miles on them since rebuild. Rebuild was about 6 years ago so its been driven less than 1000 miles a year. All suspension, brakes and steering components were replaced at the same time Engine is a 1970 400 out of a lemans. It is .030 with Hyperutectic pistons, factory crank and rods, crank is .010 .010 and has a comp cam setup in it. Cam is very streetable and makes power off idle to 6000 rpm. Cam has a nice muscle car lope. Trans shifts great and all shifts are positive. Clutch is new as well, I think its a Centerforce. It is a 5 speed transmission. Brand new not rebuilt. The rearend is the factory 10 bolt with 3.55 gears and a posi. The tires have a lot of tread but are old. Rims are real Cragar Draglites. they are aluminum, no curb rash and shine pretty good. They are not clear coated so they polish up with aluminum polish easily. Front disc, rear drum power brakes, power steering. manual locks and windows. The factory gauges are in the car but factory speedo did not work with new trans so it has a new speedo just clamped to steering column. All other gauges like oil water volts are new autometer. The speedo is also an auto meter and mileage is correct to engine rebuild. It has a 5" monster tach with adjustable shift lite. The interior is in excellt condition. No tears in seats, headliner is new, carpet is new but has a slice in it by shifter. dash is near perfect with only a crack by gauges and steering column. Top of dash is perfect, tach is screwed to a pillar not the dash. easily removable. The paint is pretty good for a 12 year old paint job, few minor chips and blemishes but shows great still. All glass is good. Trim and bumpers good. Not a show car or perfect restore but a nice driver quality paint and body. Looks really good, nice shine. This is the 3rd paint job, original was red then green then this blue. There is some rust in lower portion of trunk pan and very lower corners of quarter panel are getting a few rust bubbles. This is the only rust on the car. Floor pans are solid. Doors and fenders are solid. Overall the car performs well, drives great and has pleanty of power. drives and stops straight, no pulling or shakes, no rattles, very tight suspension. Drives like a newer car. Engine is responsive, stays cool (about 180-190*) and has great oil psi. All fluids changed on time every time. Very well maintained. All the lights work, wipers, dome light, signals etc... This could easily be a daily driver or just a fun show car. Its very reliable and has no engine, trans or wiring issues. Starts and runs correct every time. Engine should make 400-425hp and it will cruise down the freeway at 70 in 5th gear around 2000 rpm. Clean California title in hand, registration is current. Car is available for viewing and test drives. Any questions please feel free to call Jarrod at 619-988-2274 |

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.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It 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.
