Up for bid is a 1973 Pontiac Firebird with Trans Am rear wing that has been transformed into a Formula 400 Firebird. It houses a Pontiac 400 with 7K3 heads and automatic transmission. It has the Formula hood and the Rally II wheels on BF Goodrich tires which were purchased just before I purchased it. Tires have not been abused and are still like new. The car started life in California as a 6 cylinder car and was a lighter shade of blue on the exterior. The car was showing its age virtually rust free when someone rear ended the car lightly but it was enough the insurance company totaled it. The car was bought back and was then sold to the owner in Ohio which spent about $15000 into redoing the car. There was a small surface rust spot on rear quarter lip about the size of an egg which was sanded and removed. The trunk floor was flattened out but not perfect. The formula hood was purchased. The car was sanded down and repainted in dark blue. He installed a Pontiac 400 after painting it Rustoleum red so the paint wouldn’t chip. The motor has 7K3 heads. The paint is about a 8 out of 10. There is a spot by door handle that was burned through the clear coat while buffing. The hood has some paint bubbles from paint separation due to the prep work on the fiberglas hood. There are some minor cracks in paint on the endure nose. Overall though the cars paint is nice and is driver quality but better than a lot of paint jobs I’ve seen already. There was an aftermarket stereo in it when I looked at it which disappeared from the car before picking it up and I never replaced it so the cut radio hole remains but dash is nice otherwise. The driver’s seat has a split seam on seat area and a small rip on top of back seat. There are blue neon lights under the front and side rockers of car. Although it is cool in some eyes, it is easily removable if it isn’t to your taste. Battery, fuel pump , fan, door sill plates, KYB shocks on rear and rear package tray were replaced since I bought it. I’ve had it since June 2010. I drove the car from Ohio to Pa. when I bought it. It has been driven to several long distance shows since. It is a fun car that gets attention when it goes to shows. Buyer is expected to pay all tax, tags and transfer fees. Buyer is expected to pick up the car within 10 days of auction end unless other arrangements are made with me the seller. This car is being sold as is with no warranty of any kind. I have listed this cars condition as true and correct as possible. If you are local and would like to view the car prior to bidding just ask and we will work out a time. I reserve the right to end the auction early as car has been listed locally. |

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
