Frame up restoration done in 1996, undercarriage completely sand blasted and zinc chromate coated.
Immaculate body work with zero rust.
Paint is 1992 GM Sapphire Blue; it is in great shape and is very close to the original midnight blue. It could be changed to original color with no body work and only minor prep work if desired.
All the paint in the interior was formulated to be completely original because we were able to find samples from the dashboard and convertible top frame that had not been faded by sunlight.
The interior has been completely restored with parchment white vinyl. The original vinyl was blue. All seat frames were disassembled and zinc chromate coated then reassembled with new springs and padding.
A/C works
All engine compartment, interior and dashboard wiring has been done to completely original concourse condition.
Factory optional wood steering wheel; I have the original steering wheel also.
Power brakes have been updated to dual master cylinder and disc brakes in front with stainless steel brake lines throughout. I have all the original front brake parts and master cylinder.
Power steering has been converted to a close ratio that takes 2.5 turns, lock to lock, rather than the original 4.5 turns. This was done by the company that did all the steering box gearing for NASCAR/Winston Cup at the time. They only did about five percent of their business with the general public like me. The steering box looks no different than stock. It drives and handles great!
The fifteen year old restoration shows only slight wear. This is an above average car. The brake and steering modifications make it very drivable. It could be made into concourse condition without a great deal of work.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
