  • Transmission is Borg Warner world class upgraded with stronger gears and thrust washer - all brand new with close ratio Hurst 5 speed
  • That's correct 5 speed w overdrive.
  • Drive shaft is shortened 3.5"
  • Rear end is 10 bolt 3:73 posi with Moser Gears
  • Clutch is actuated by hydraulic cylinder setup from 2005 Vette
  • Almost too much to list - but all is brand new and with less than 4,000 very dependable miles
  • Car was chassis dyno'd at rear wheels with just under 300hp & 355 ft/lbs torque

  • Clear coat buffed after paint - thats it. This car does not see rain
  • Some pics may not show all the factory new graphic pics - like trim around wheel wells.
  • AC all rebuilt and blows cold
  • Really just too much to list with the TLC that went into it
  • Driving this car is like being in a parade - everyone seems to stop, look, listen & wave
  • My only gaurantee - is you'll be hard pressed to build a straighter, nicer higher quality car - than what you can buy this for
  • You really need to see & drive to appreciate - The reserve is low - so have fun and email w any questions
  • I have an all steel '34 ford coupe 60% complete and would like to finish that now.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
