If you have been looking for a muscle car that is as POWERFUL, SAFE and RELIABLE  then look no further.  This 1967 Pontiac Tempest has been gone through mechanically from top to bottom and front to back.  You are going to be getting essentially a NEW car in the skin of a 67 classic.  Everything from the motor, transmission, rear end, brakes, suspension, steering, and cooling system are all new.

First lets start with the heart of the beast:
  • 2001 LS1 motor that is putting down at least 450hp.  The motor has been modified with an LS6 intake, MS4 cam, Titanium valve springs, 36lb injectors, Hedman Headers, ported throttle body, 85mm MAF, custom cold air intake, and a computer Tune by Texas Speed and Performance.  Custom wiring harness.  Motor has approx 110k miles, with about 6k miles with the modifications.
  • 15 gallon fuel cell with sump.  Bosch 044 fuel pump, corvette filter regulator.  All braided stainless fuel line with 6AN fittings.
  • New radiator with 2001 Camaro electric fans
  • Custom 3" exhaust with cutouts dumping into cherry bombs  (its loud)

Backing up the motor:
  • Fully built TH400 that is good for around 900hp.  It has a trans brake, full reverse manual valve body with race clutches to handle a hard launch and still be street able without issue.  
  • Pro-matic II ratchet shifter
  • FTI 3800 stall converter with anti-balloon (if you want to run nitrous) - good for repeated launches in the 850hp range.  
  • 10 bolt rear end fully built with 3.73 gears, Yukon Axles, Eaton Posi Unit

Suspension, Brakes, and Steering:
  • All new front and rear upper lower control arms (boxed in the rear) with new bushings
  • New Hotchkis front and rear springs (lower front about 1.5" and rear about 1")
  • New KYB Adjustable shocks 
  • Front Disc brake conversion (300 miles on them now) with a power brake booster and Disc/Drum proportioning valve
  • New Rear Drum Brakes (about 600 miles on them)
  • New steering center link, idler arm with all new ball joints/bushings
  • Jeep Grand Cherokee steering box (12 to 1 ratio, WAY tighter than the old 16 to 1 original box)

Wheels and Tires:
  • Nitto NT55R drag radials on Rally wheels (15") - Biggest size I could stuff under there
Interior:
  • Excellent condition front and rear seats, no tears/rips or any wear for that matter.  Like brand new
  • Carpet is in good shape
  • New headliner, no rips/tears
  • Aftermarket stereo that looks stock but has iPod hookup in front (from Crutchfield)
  • Tach mounted in stock clock location
  • OBD-II port (I use an adapter that works with my phone for the Torque app)

As you can see the car has been gone through, only things I think are left to do is eventually put new Dakota Digital gauges in the stock location, and replace the rubber around the windows (I have the rubber and it will go with the car).

 GOOD LUCK BIDDING -  FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!!!!!

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."

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.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
