MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1976 Pontiac
Firebird Trans Am Pro-Street loaded with a powerful 540 CID Merlin
V8 built by Alabama racer Rex Kelley. It started life as a regular
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, built in GM's Norwood, Ohio factory on
the fourth week of April 1976. It left the line dressed in
Firethorn Red with a white interior. Now, the car is dressed in
Candy Apple Red with Ghost Flames with a black interior. The paint
and trim are in overall great shape but do show some minor
imperfections. Rex Kelley, who races in the IHRA Outlaw series,
built this car. Under the hood is a 540 CID Merlin crate V-8 engine
with 9:1 compression, making 580 horsepower and 625 pounds-feet of
torque, from Mitchell Hard Core Racing in New York. Engine has
Hooker headers and three-inch exhausts. Backing the motor is a
Muncie M22 "Rock Crusher" four-speed manual transmission with a
scattershield and a 4.10:1 Dana 60 rear end from Competition
Engineering. The engine also sports a Be Cool aluminum radiator
with electric fans and a dash-mounted on/off switch. Driver
convenience features include power steering and power, four-wheel
vented disc brakes. The windows are clear and intact, the lights
are haze-free, the bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay
is quite tidy and the Endura body-colored bumpers look great.
Underneath, the car has coilover shock absortbers, and an
adjustable four-ladder link bar. As added style, Kelly had Ferrari
308 door inserts added to the body, shaved the exterior handles.
The fender flares, front air dem and fender heat extractors are
also Frenched. The car has an aftermarket twin turbo hood, its fuel
cell is located in the trunk and all of the car's weatherstripping
and rubber has been replaced. In the rear are Mickey Thompson
tires, size 29/18.50-15 on Centerline wheels with 225.60 BFGoodrich
radials on 15-inch Centerline wheels in front. The wheels and tires
are in very good condition. Inside are Corbeau GT front buckets
with RC five-point harnesses and a Grant GT four-spoke steering
wheel. The front seats look fantastic, as does the Grant
thick-rimmed wheel. The instrument panel still sports its
stainless-steel appliqu� and is overall good order but the
tachometer is inoperable. New parts include the center console,
carpet and padded covers for the roll bar. There is a build file of
its history that accompanies the car. If you're looking to do more
