Ventura, California, United States

This is a true survivor car! I have owned it for about 4 years now after I bought it at auction in Wyoming. The car has 34,000 ACTUAL ORIGINAL MILES! It is in very excellent unrestored condition. NO holes in the dash or subwoofer cutouts or crap like that. This is an incredibly unique classic car with factory:

 INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION

 REAR TRANSAXLE 

50/50 WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION!

 A truly innovative car for its time!

I will be moving to the Northwest soon and I simply don’t have the time or energy to move it along with our other vehicles, and I really want it to stay in an environment that it can live another 50 years.  I have had no Issues with this car and I have put roughly 11,000 miles on it myself. It really loves the freeway and turns a lot of heads!

 

WORK I HAVE DONE TO THE CAR:

-New Brakes

-New Shocks

-New Battery

-New Tires

-New Exhaust

-3 stage paint (4 years ago, in fairly good condition)

-1 Wire alternator conversion from original generator setup ( still have the generator)

-Transmission flushed and fluid replaced

-rear differential gear oil replaced

-carburetor rebuilt

-most hoses and lines replaced

-radiator flushed

-oil changed as required

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine 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.
