Offered at no reserve is this classic GTO project which comes with most parts and the numbers matching WK 400 w/7K3 heads and a correct 4 speed trans.

Exterior: Car was originally Sundance Orange. All panels are present, but need attention. There is rust on right & left sides trunk pan (center seems solid). Deck lid will need replacement. There is rust in both quarters behind rear wheels with the left side having previous body work that is busted and rust in front of wheel. The doors on car seem straight, but have rust and/or bondo in the bottom sections. 2 extra solid Arizona doors come with car, but have several dents. The fenders have some dents which should be visible in pictures and both have had metal patches welded in at the bottoms. The hood has surface rust on the under side (looks like possibly sandblasted and not protected afterward) which looks like would clean up nicely. It has had some filler for dents in the scoop which is broken and surface rust now. It does not appear to have any rust through or kinks along the sides like most. The endura bumper and lower valance look to be in good shape with some pitting on the grilles and park light bezels. The car originally had vinyl top with the main top looking solid. The windshield and rear window chrome have not been removed, so I can't speak for window channel condition. There is rust in the lower cowl side panels. The core support will need extensive metal work on bottom or replaced. The rear bumper will need reconditioned or replaced as well as tail lamps. It has the 70-71 style rear valance with cutouts. After removing the carpet, left front floor pan was found to need replaced or patched. There is a hole/gouge in the right rear floor pan where it starts to go under rear seat. I have 4 14x7 JJ code rally 2 wheels that have already been sandblasted, primed & ready for paint with nice caps and decent rings.

Interior: Car has the original basic black bench seat interior. The GTO door panel emblems have torn off (one was in car, but pitted). The whole interior will need restored from top to bottom. One might be able to save the door panels with some cleaning & TLC. The glass seems in good condition.

Mechanical: Engine is apart and will need rebuilt. I have a crank that has already been machined and new cam/lifter kit from GM performance parts as well as new Flow Tech headers and engine mounts. Not sure if transmission is original to car, but is an aluminum case with the large rear shaft and fine spline front shaft complete with shifter & related parts. I have a new Perfection clutch/pressure plate kit. I assume the rear end to be the original open 3.55 gear. The rear sway bar has been removed at some point in favor of ladder bars. The gas tank will need replaced. Car rolls freely, but brakes are not working.

There are probably lots of details I have forgotten, so please ask questions before bidding. The front is currently off car and engine apart. These items could be put back in and on to make moving it easier if necessary. Please see photos for details & contact me if further info or additional pictures are needed. The car will need to be towed/hauled. I will not ship the vehicle. However I will be happy to help in loading if needed. Any moving/shipping costs will be at the expense of the buyer. Car must be picked up within 3 days of auction's end unless other arrangements are made as we are moving.

Please keep in mind that this is a rough project car and will need lots of work. Thanks for looking and happy bidding

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.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
