1988 Fiero Coupe With 350 Chevy Motor on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:128975
Location:

Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States

Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States

 This is the perfect little sports car that is as quick as most Super Cars but much less expensive. The motor is a professionally built 357 cubic inch Chevy with Aluminum Vortec heads and Holley carburetor on a Edelbrock Performer manifold. Valve action is by hydraulic roller cam from CompCams (dimensions on request) and roller rockers. This motor has less than 300 miles since built.  Exhaust is custom built and high temperature barrier coated.  2 individual banks are routed to mufflers with SuperTrapp tunable ends. Transmission is a modified 4T60E electric 4 speed overdrive controlled by a PSC programmable module. Transmission also has less than 300 miles since built.  Just about all facets of transmission control are changeable- including addition of paddle/button shifting. The car rides on aftermarket Corvette look alike 17" wheels with high performance tires.  The tires have been sitting for a while and probably need to be changed. Lowering springs in the front and Coil Overs in the rear add to the stance.  The air conditioner runs very cold and is charged with Hot Shot which replaces R12. Battery has been moved to the front and is a new Optima Red Top.  Dash gauges are custom flame jobs and fascias are refinished in crinkle. A larger brake booster has been installed. New dew wipes are being installed at this time. Vents have been installed in hood to vent trapped air at speed.  A carbon fiber cover has been added to the rear lid to allow for carb clearance. The car has the minor blemishes you find on cars that are driven but there are no major items.
  This car drives extremely well in normal mode but is instantly transformed to 'animal' status with the addition more throttle.

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.

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.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
