 For Trans Am fans out there, this is a really nice and unusual car. So much can be said, it is hard to know where to start. A bit of history first:
- This car has spent its whole life in Arizona. It was delivered here when new and it has remained in the desert so no issues with rust with this one. I am the third owner. The previous owner was a garage owner and mechanic. This was his wife's car and he decided to restore it. I will share with you what I know from what I have been told by him. The body was removed from the chassis and was painted by a real pro. This was probably twenty years ago but the paint job today looks amazing, except for a couple of little nicks. Everyone who sees this car always ask how long ago it was painted. When I got the car it had been sitting in a garage for the better part of those twenty year. I washed it and hand polished it a couple of times and the shine is really spectacular.
He also rebuilt the engine and Transmission. I was told that not one internal component of that engine rebuilt was stock. I can believe it because this engine runs very strong with incredible smoothness. The transmission is a TCI high performance transmission with a B&M Shifter. The car will easily spin its wheels even in reverse! The engine and transmission combo has less than 1000 miles since the rebuilt, even though it took place a long time ago. The car just sat in a garage waiting to be finished.
So all that was done before I got the car. As good as a mechanic the previous owner was, he hated interior work. As a result the inside needed a lot of attention. That is when I came in.
I pulled everything out of the car and we proceeded with insulating and sound deadening the interior. We re-upholstered the original seats and bolstered the front seats for better cornering compared to the stock flat seats. They are extremely comfortable and keep you planted pretty well. Everything inside is custom made. Check out the Bird on the headliner, the diamond stitched suede inserts on the seats with matching gear shift boot and custom door panels. This is definitely not a stock interior. New carpet with matching floor mats, the dashboard was also covered with hand stitched vinyl to match the rest of the car. All the plastic pieces elsewhere were also covered with vinyl for a classier look.
The original stereo system was obsolete. I installed a Clarion single disc CD player with I-Pod connection and bluetooth. There are two large amplifiers custom fitted in the trunk along with a single 12 inch woofer. Up front, there are two round speakers, two tweeters under the dash and two hidden 6X9 behind the back seats. The sound system is crisp and powerful.
The latest addition to the car was a complete new dual exhaust system with two Flowmaster Series 44 Original muffler and brand new Trans Am chrome tips. The sound is absolutely addicting.
The suspension was also upgraded by the previous owner. The car has a posi-traction limited slip differential rear end, KYB shocks and upgraded suspension hardware. The gas tank was also replaced when the body was re-assembled.
This is a very nice car and one everyone comments on. It will be sorely missed.
Serious inquiries only. If you need more info, feel free to call me directly: J-P 480-652-1600.
NOTE: THE MILEAGE STATED HERE IS WHAT IS ON THE ODOMETER, BUT IT MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. Speedometer also needs to be calibrated. It is about 25 to 35 mph off.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

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.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

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.
