1976 PONTIAC TRANS AM 455 4-SPEED

THIS CAR NEEDS A COMPLETE RESTORATION. THE SHEET METAL HAS SURFACE RUST ESPECIALLY AROUND THE REAR GLASS. THE FRAME IS SOLID. THE CAR WAS SILVER FROM THE FACTORY AND WAS PAINTED RED SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE.

THE MOTOR LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE REBUILT IT AS IT HAS FRESH PAINT AND TURNS WELL BUT IT HAS NO RADIATOR OR BELTS SO I NEVER GOT TO THE POINT I FELT LIKE I WAS CLOSE TO TRYING TO START IT. THE MOTOR AND TRANS ARE 100% NUMBERS MATCHING AND THESE BIG INCH T/A CARS ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND. I HAVE A 71 FORMULA, A 72 FORMULA, A 74 TRANS AM, ANOTHER 76 TRANS AM AND I WILL NOT LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO GET TO THIS ONE. IT IS WORTH SELLING TO SOMEONE THAT APPRECIATES THE ORIGINALITY AND WILL RESTORE IT.

THE PHS SHOW THIS CAR HAS NO "DEALER HOLDBACK" AND HAS ACTUALLY BEEN INVOICED TO GENERAL MOTORS. MY WIFE AND I ARE IN THE CAR BUSINESS AND THIS MEANS THE CAR WAS A SPECIAL EVENT VEHICLE OF SOME SORT. THESE DAYS IT WOULD MEAN THE CAR HAS BEEN DISPLAYED AT A RACE OR HAS BEEN IN A MAGAZINE ARTICLE OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. KIND OF COOL AND MAKES IT UNIQUE.

EVERYTHING IS THERE FOR RESTORATION. THE CAR IS LISTED ON CRAIGSLIST AND IT WON'T LAST VERY LONG AS THERE JUST SIMPLY ISN'T THAT MANY LEFT OUT THERE. FOR QUESTIONS THE BEST RESULT WILL BE TEXTING ME AT 704-TWO-3-TWO-9252. MY NAME IS BILL THANKS FOR LOOKING!

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.

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
