Up for sale is my 1970 GTO Verdoro Green. I have owned this almost 10 years now and am thinking it is time for a new toy. This car was originally fro California which I believe is why it is so clean. It has a non numbers matching drivetrain but the block is a WT 400 1970 block. The heads are #12 heads with hardened valve seats. Cam specs, duration  298/303, Lift .466/.488. CompCams roller rockers 1.65 ratio.  It has an eagle crank and eagle rods with BRC pistons that have been dished to lower the compression to 9.5 to 1 so it runs good on pump gas. Also the rotating assembly was balanced, Heads have been mildly ported and the intake was gasket matched. it has a 750 quadrajet carb that has been gone thru to feed this monster. Engine only has about 2000 miles since it was rebuilt. This car is incredibly fast and really puts you back in the seat but to look under the hood it looks pretty stock except for the headers and air cleaner. I do syill have the original air cleaner that will go with the car, I also still have the California emissions charcoal canister that the car came with. Right now it still has the original 10 Bolt open rear end but I have a 12 bolt posi rear with 373 gears which I will let go with the car for an additional $500. The interior is near perfect, The body is very nice but the paint is 10 years old so it is not perfect. It has a scratch in the drivers side rear quarter a small dent in the passenger door and the nose has the typical cracks that the endure nose is prone to. See the pics for all of this I have tried to show all of this. Under the hood is very clean as is under the car which was all cleaned and painted about 8 years ago. Mechanically the car is perfect but could use a frontend alignment it does not pull and has no play but the steering is easier then it should be so I think it could use an alignment. It has a new clutch and pressure plate installed this year. Headers are Hooker super comps and the exhaust is 2.5" from pypes.This car was originally a 3 speed manual but at some point someone installed a Muncie 4 speed which works great. Tha radiator is a 4 core and was replaced about 4 years ago. The gas tank was replaced about 5 years ago. Car original had manual drum brake but I converted it to power front discs, after I did this I never had the alignment done so this is why I know it needs one. car had a hot start issue on those hot summer day which is common in Pontiac so I installed thicker gauge battery cables and a high torque mini starter from summit racing. This car starts right up every time and runs perfect, I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. I have set a reserve because I do not want not give it away however you could not build this car for what my reserve is. Car is for sale locally also so I can end auction at any time if it sells. Short videos follow these links http://youtu.be/CUC3bG8UUSo and http://youtu.be/oErP1u-kZBk If you have any questions pleas don't hesitate to ask. buyer is responsible for shipping of vehicle however I will assist as much as possible on my end.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
