I purchased this car to fulfill one of my dreams. I always wanted one and I have enjoyed working on it and driving it. But I also have a growing family and will need to buy a larger house. So, I need to turn this car into some cash. I will be listing this locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction if I find a buyer.

The Good:

This is a solid, complete, virtually rust free car. The numbers matching 400 runs smooth and strong. It has a new Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke carb. I also have a holley double pumper no choke that will go with the car. The TH400 transmission is not numbers matching, but period correct, and it shifts great also. I believe it has a 3.55 rear end which is not original to the car. It has a new aluminum radiator and runs reliably cool. I also have the original Harrison radiator to go with the car as well. Much of the work I have done to the car was to improve reliability and safety. First, I replaced the lap belts in the front with a 3 point retractables and put lap belts in the rear, all with period correct GM buckles. I replaced the 4 drums with power disk brakes on all corners. It stops like a new car, maybe better. I also rewired the car with an American Autowire Power 20 kit. At the same time, I added power door locks, a viper alarm, keyless entry, and remote start system, and power trunk release. The door locks are centrallized, meaning there are no switches. When you move one door stopper, the other moves with it. I could not bring myself to cut the door panels to add switches. I also added a Retrosound radio with USB (USB is in the glove box) and Polk Audio speakers all around. The rear 6x9s fit in the back deck and new custom kick panels hold 6 1/2s up front. I slightly relocated the parking brake to keep it functional with the new speakers. I still have the original kick panels if you want to take them out. Dakota Digital analog VHX gauges in the cluster are new and very nice and clean. While rewiring the car, I also put in a new battery, a 140 amp one wire alternator, and replaced the starter with high performance guts. This is a factory AC car, but the AC is not hooked up. There is a134A compressor on the car, but I did not make it that far. And now I never will. It looks new, but it is untested. Everything else electrically works as it should. I also have a brand new semi custom car cover to go along with it and some miscellaneous parts, such as an extra fan and fan clutch in case you want to swap out the flex fan. The interior shows very well with no rips or tears in the seats, panels, or carpet. It may not be perfect, but it is very good. The paint is good but not excellent. My goal was eventually to put a very high quality paint job on this car, but never made it that far. I would say this car is a 10 footer. American Racing wheels and the tires have about 65% tread left. The car also has air shocks in the rear. This is a very good and smooth riding car that goes and stops well.

The Bad: This is an original vinyl top car. There are some small spots starting to form under the top. They are not growing in size as the top is still sealed fairly well, but it will probably need to be replaced soon.

The Ugly: The headliner needs some work. I replaced the old smelly insulation in the roof with some foil type insulation from a hardware store. It keeps the heat down and got rid of the old car smell, but I did not do a professional job replacing the headliner. It is there and complete so maybe someone could do a better job than me. Headliners are not that expensive anyway, just not at the top of my list. The mileage on the car is unknown. It showed 6700 miles on the odometer when I purchased it and that is what I loaded in the DD gauges when I powered them up. It has about 7400 or so miles now. The hood does not close fully at the back. It may need new hinges or just an adjustment, not sure

I also have the 67 Pontiac Service Manual and PHS documentation to go along with the car. I am sure there are other miscellaneous items as well that I am forgetting to mention.

I have more pictures and can answer questions upon request.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
