Spare Some Ribs: Pontiac Firebird

eBay: 1978 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Signed by Burt Reynolds

Just so we can make it clear from the beginning, this fully restored 1978 Pontiac Trans Am is a Bandit replica that has nothing to do with any of the original cars that stared along with Burt Reynolds in the “Smokey and the Bandit” movie series.

Instead, this particular Trans Am that’s equipped with a massive 6.6-liter V8 220Hp engine was loaned to Burt Reynolds to drive while he was helping the “YearOne” company design the new “Burt Builds a Bandit” car.

For what it’s worth, Reynolds has signed the car and the winning bidder will also receive various Burt Reynolds memorabilia like a hat, shirt and a signed picture. The current bid on eBay is approx $46k. –More pictures after the jump

1968 Pontiac Firebird With 2004 GTO Interior & LS7 V8!

Now this has to be one of the most stimulating Firebirds we’ve ever seen. Spotted by VW Vortex forum member “Nourdmrolnmt”, this first generation Pontiac Firebird (if we’re not mistaken, it’s a 1968 model) looks fairly stock on the outside. Take a look inside though and get ready for a surprise; the owner of this first-gen Firebird has fully rebuilt the interior using a 2004 Pontiac GTO dashboard, switchgear and bucket seats!

Understandably, this wasn’t an easy task as many components had to be custom built. For example the leather on the dashboard are hand stitched while the seat belts on the front bucket seats had to be moved from the door to inside the seat due to lack of a B pillar in the Firebird. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below

Behind that menacing face of the Firebird, the car’s owner threw in a tuned LS7 V8 engine delivering about 650Hp combine with a T56 6speed manual gearbox from a Dodge Viper. Other notable “accessories” include the all-round disk brakes. According to “Nourdmrolnmt”, the owner informed him that he had spent more than $100.000 in the Firebird!
