A very nice survivor  car "barn find" with 45568 original miles on it . An all original unmolested 1961 Bonneville 4 door hardtop with 4 barrel 389 and 4 speed Hydromatic transmission, factory fender mounted vacumn controlled mirrors, under dash air conditioner, power brakes and power steering. The ultimate cruiser. Has been off the road for years when found. Flushed the gas tank and lines, had the OEM AFB carburator rebuilt, new battery, new fuel pump and started her right up. No smoke, knocks, raps, transmission shifts OK, no leaks. The car is 99% complete, the only thing missing that I can see is the letter "E" on the drivers' side Bonneville emblems.

All the glass is intact (windshield has a small crack at the top middle ) windows go up and down easily, door open and close fine. This was an east coast car before it came to New Mexico so it has the usual rust. There are small rust  areas at the bottom of the rear doors, bottom of the rear fenders and rust spot on top of both froint fender, all easialy repaired or leave "as is" as a lot of people are now doing. the rest of the body and frame are OK. Generator charges ok, exterior and interior lights work, horn turn signal and brake lights all work. Brakes and steering all work fine,  no leaks. The a/c compressor was removed by the prior owner and comes with the car. The radio (AM only) works.

Will need tires , they are dry rotted from years of sitting in the sun,I did not install new ones to keep the price low.  the interior is also dried out from sitting out in the sun., you can sit and use the seats but they are dry.  The dash and instruments are pretty good, so is the steering wheel. The headliner is red and in very good condition so is the carpeting. The fuel gage is not working, you'll probably need a new sending unit like all these survivors do. Comes with two flipper hub caps, two OEM caps and another set of 4 OEM hub caps.

You'll need to go through the car as it has been sitting for a long time. If you want a really great old time fun to drive cruiser at a very fair price, here it is. questions? call or text dean 505-414-0617

Posted new pics showing the  bad spot on the front fender tops. My camera died so I apologize for the quality of the cell phone pics. Both fenders have the same defect in the same spot.  I posted a pic of the right rear rust area the left is the same. If I was to keep this car I'd leave things the way they were and just drive it. The picture of the engine has my loaner carb on it so I could run and drive the car while the AFB was being rebuilt. I also offer a $150.00 rebate to help defray shipping costs if you use the BIN option at its present number ($3690.00) so the car will actually cost you only $3540.00. if the car sells for less the rebate offer is withdrawn .

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

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.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
