Restoration Projects

This project car has undergone some major mechanical renovation as
the owner decided that the original Pontiac 400 that rolled out of the
factory just did not have quite enough ponies. And so, he decided to
drop a fully detailed 428 (along with a new tranny) in its place. All
engine parts have been powdercoated as well as other under hood
equipment for dress up. It has also received stainless steel fasteners
with an aluminum Edelbrock intake, a Ram Air IV cam, and Ram Air exhaust
manifolds with some oversized pipes and an X crossover for easier
breathing. A Pertronix electronic ignition conversion kit supplies the
engine with a more modern and powerful spark topping it all off. Photos
taken at McCollum's Auto Center where the engine swap was performed.

This Trans Am was originally painted lucerne blue, but its hard to
imagine what it looked like when it was new. This particular model in
that color is highly unusual, but its rather decrepit state requires
that it should undergo a complete restoration for showing purposes. We
have received few updates on this project but hope to share photos as
soon as we have them.
