 This car had a very misfortunate fire while the owner was letting it run getting ready to go for a ride. Burned up the firewall area and interior. did some parts replacing to try to fire it back up but carbs are dumping to much fuel to start car it has fire and tries but it acts like its flooded. Car has a CLEAR TITLE from the owner that owned it from 1978 it had 61,000 on odometer in 78 and 73,000 at time of fire according to the previous owner but with the odometer burned up there is no proof of that just his word. look at pics really good tried to take close ups. Car will need wire harnesses, all the glass, roof is warped and so is dash around speaker grill. we have the seat frames. car would be a good opportunity for the right person with the skills and a parts car to make some good money fixing this car. We are in the auto business but are really to busy to do the project ourselves with all our customer work. so we thought we would pass this one on to see if someone out there is interested I value my 100 percent feedback and will do my best to answer any questions honestly call 410-310-3716 we have build sheet for car it was in glove box at time of fire but didn't get burned up car was born a single carb 389 but was later switched with all period correct and original tri power set up car has 4spd, 12 bolt rear and fairly new exhaust  also may be able to deliver for a agreed price depending on distance  may also end auction early due to being for sale locally

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

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.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
