He she is: My "midlife crisis" car as my wife calls it. I enjoyed 4 years and way too much money building this car. So here's what it is:
- Only 2300 hardtop coupes were produced in '79 with 400 Pontiac engine and 4 speed
- 79 is first year Pontiac with 4 wheel disc brakes. All brakes calipers, pads cables are brand new.
- Correct year 400ci engine with mild cam, 6X heads, demon carb, longtube ceramic headers
- Very dependable with MSD ignition, custom mounted and functional hood scoop, remote oil filter
- Transmission is Borg Warner world class upgraded with stronger gears and thrust washer - all brand new with close ratio Hurst 5 speed
- That's correct 5 speed w overdrive.
- Drive shaft is shortened 3.5"
- Rear end is 10 bolt 3:73 posi with Moser Gears
- Clutch is actuated by hydraulic cylinder setup from 2005 Vette
- Almost too much to list - but all is brand new and with less than 4,000 very dependable miles
- Car was chassis dyno'd at rear wheels with just under 300hp & 355 ft/lbs torque
- Exhaust and stainless tips are 2.5" with crossover and dual flowmaster - this car sounds incredible
- This car never had,and does not have any rust - zero - none.
- All new body bushings, front rear swaybars, shocks - U name it
- Paint job is perfect. - -thats a big big statement - but this paint is 18 months old and has never had wax
- Clear coat buffed after paint - thats it. This car does not see rain
- Some pics may not show all the factory new graphic pics - like trim around wheel wells.
- AC all rebuilt and blows cold
- Really just too much to list with the TLC that went into it
- Driving this car is like being in a parade - everyone seems to stop, look, listen & wave
- My only gaurantee - is you'll be hard pressed to build a straighter, nicer higher quality car - than what you can buy this for
- You really need to see & drive to appreciate - The reserve is low - so have fun and email w any questions
- I have an all steel '34 ford coupe 60% complete and would like to finish that now.
- My reserve is low - so bid and enjoy for the summer. If you have less than a 98% feedback - don't bother bidding - I will reject it.

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.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
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.
