He she is: My "midlife crisis" car as my wife calls it. I enjoyed 4 years and way too much money building this car. So here's what it is:
- Only 2300 hardtop coupes were produced in '79 with 400 Pontiac engine and 4 speed
- 79 is first year Pontiac with 4 wheel disc brakes. All brakes calipers, pads cables are brand new.
- Correct year 400ci engine with mild cam, 6X heads, demon carb, longtube ceramic headers
- Very dependable with MSD ignition, custom mounted and functional hood scoop, remote oil filter
- 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
- Exhaust and stainless tips are 2.5" with crossover and dual flowmaster - this car sounds incredible
- This car never had,and does not have any rust - zero - none.
- All new body bushings, front rear swaybars, shocks - U name it
- Paint job is perfect. - -thats a big big statement - but this paint is 18 months old and has never had wax
- 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.
- My reserve is low - so bid and enjoy for the summer. If you have less than a 98% feedback - don't bother bidding - I will reject it.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At 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."
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.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
