   Up for auction is a 1964 Pontiac GTO Street Rod, it started life as a Lemans, but anyone that knows their' Pontiacs, knows that in 64 GTO was only a Lemans option and consisted of mainly emblems and a larger V-8 and hood. Other than that the  entire body is identical, which changed in later years, so all it needed was a hood, and emblems. Of course for the purists this car would not suffice, but I am not a purist and if you are this car is not for you. I am a Pontiac lover and Pontaic performance enthusiast and if you are , then you will find no better, this car took me 5 years to build, scrimping and saving, and used the best of the best, from the best Pontiac performance builders in the country. It has 580 miles on entire restoration that is 2 years old, garage kept, never seen a drop of rain. It started life as a very clean Lemans, the entire car was dissasembled, basically a frame off, and every panel was blasted and/or paint removed, every bolt removed and replaced, most with stainless steel, the rockers, fenders, doors, trunk, bumpers are all original and rust free, The quarters had a little rust around the wheel wells so we installed brand new full quarters,to factory seams, instead of patching. If you know 64 GTO's NOS hoods are very rare and no repros were mfg. so the hood is glass.We sprayed the entire car with epoxy primer, block sanded, shot the interior with semi gloss trim black and 3 stage exterior in a 2008 Lexus Brandywine Mica color, sanded and polished.The paint is pretty much pristine,except for a few fish eyes that could probably use a little massaging.The bumpers are all original with original chrome in nice shape. All the stainless trim and  grills are original and reworked, polished and painted by Paul's Chrome, except the windshiled trim is new repro. The interior consists of real nice original door panels, seats are reupholsterd original frames with 1965 GTO pattern, I know, not year correct but I liked the arrowhead pattern better, and new Ames black rug. The dash is new, gauge cluster is a John Covan carbon fiber deal with Auto Meter Cobalt, Speedo, Tach, Fuel, Water, Oil, Volts, special edition Grant wheel mounted to a tilt Ididit column, Blaupunkt CD 33 100 amp  head unit, Kenwood kick panel and rear deck 4 way speakers, with a trunk mounted Kenwood 350 watt amp. Now to the motor, the block is a 1970 455 filled block, drilled with splayed 4 bolt caps, bored and stroked to 474 cubic inch, fully balanced rotating assembly by Kauffman Racing wih all Crower components,oiling is handled by a Milodon Deep Sump Unit, pump is a Melling Kaufman unit pumping Rotella T 15/40 diesel oil, the cam is a mechanical solid unit custom grind by Jeff Kaufman with 607 lift with 1.65 stainless steel roller rockers and full lifter bracing, heads are Kaufman Aluminum High Port units that flow 320, intake is a port matched and opened up for the high ports, rare,original Doug Nash unit. Carburetion is a 950 cfm HP by Quick Fuel with custom jetting. Exhaust is Dougs Round Port Headers with aluminum coating,  Doug's Electronic Exhaust Dumps to instantly open the headers, entire exhaust out the rear is 3"stainless steel system by Pypes with X Pipe and Race Pro mufflers. Brand New stock fuel Tank with Jegs Weld On Sump and Earls Stainless Steel ball style shut off valves. Fuel pump is a Robb MC Billet 1100 HP mechanical pump with an electric back up dual stainless steel lined set-up and Robb MC Billet Fuel Filter. Coolant is handled by CSR Electric Water Pump and dual Camaro LT1 Electric Fans.Sparking is handled by Mallory HyFire VI and Accel DFI Coil, NGK spark plugs. Drivetrain consists of a Lakewood Explosion Proof Block Saver and Scatter Shield Bell Housing, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch powering an original tried and true (not a Richmond repro) beefed up Doug Nash 5 speed transmission, all new driveshaft and TRW universals, Lakewood Driveshaft Loop, 9" Ford Rear custom made by Spraker Racing with 3.25 gears, full posi and heavy, thick splined axles. Transmission gearing pretty much has the car in 4.11 ratio from 1st to 4th and 3.25 in 5th for an overdrive effect. Braking is Classic Performance all stainless steel drilled and slotted discs front and rear, with all stainless steel brake lines front to back and new dual master cylinder power unit., all new control arm bushings, ball joints, steering linkage. Wheels are 16"aluminum Centerline Dagger wheels, front tires are Kuyhmo Ecsta 225/55-16 fronts, Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials 255/50-16 on rear ( a must to try to keep it glued to the street) with all custom lowering spings and Air Lift bags for a nice low stance. This motor has not been dynoed, but a fellow Pontiac friend has pretty much the same set-up and he dynoed 607 HP, and let me tell you, it sure as hell feels like it, the motor comes out to be 11.5 to 1 compression ratio and will run with Premium Pump Fuel, although I mix in 110 Octane VP . There's probably more I'm forgetting, it's been a long road, I've used the best of the best to build this car and hate to sell it but can't afford to keep more than one and I have a new project going. I have well over $35,000 invested in this car and thats not including my labor, it's a head turner no matter where it goes, wins trophies at every show, never been to the track so hasn't been pounded, it's still fresh and ready to go. The only con I can give with this car is the few fish eyes I mentioned in the paint and the trunk leaks abt. a cup of water water when you wash the car, so you must remove the mat and wipe it dry during every wash, just never had time to track down the leak, maybe the weatherstrip was installed incorrectly, other than that pristine. If you decide to bid on my car, you won't be dissapointed, and good luck.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If 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.
