The car's history: The builder of the car passed on a few years back. The car sat in a barn as an old drag car until sold to a friend of that family. The car went from one barn to the next. I found the car local to me and wanted it to live again. The car before my ownership had new panels put on. This would include quarters, doors, fenders, inner front fender wells and radiator support. The car is a pro street tubbed with monster rear Mickey Thompson Sportsmans. The paint is GM white with candy green sides- looks great in the sun. Starts like easy. The motor: Date code 327, 1968 It has been bored and done with aluminum heads an Edelbrock intake Holley 600. Has billet pulleys. The rear: Ford nine inch with 10 and a half inch drums. Posi unit with gears that feel to me like 456's as my best guess. The transmission: Automatic on the floor however has 4 speed pedals. Has a stall I would guess again around 3000- 3500. What I do know is all the new I put in and it runs in the thousands. I have a stack of receipts less than 90 days old to prove this. New: Both front and rear bumpers: This includes the entire grill assembly and license plate holder and emblems. Weld rims front and rear with new front tires. Most all the front suspension and bushings. ball joints and springs. tie rods and links. Steering was tired so I replaced the steering box and rag joint. Nice tight steer no walk around issues. The brakes were tired: New master cylinder proportioning valve and rear wheel cylinders. Disc brake front, Some brake lines. Fronts are braided lines. The engine: I replaced the thermostat and installed an electric fan which works on start up. I installed a radiator catch can. The ignition is all new MSD. Coil cap rotor wires plugs. The trans: Had a leaky gasket so new pan gasket and screen. Fresh trans fluid. The interior: The interior was worse for wear and had a 8 point roll cage. I'm older so the side bars were cut out immediately. I have them if your heart desires climbing a cage to get in. The rest of the cage is in. I replaced both door panels, arm rest and both door handles and all four window cranks. Although being tubbed the rears are for show. I replaced the carpet and installed a radio delete panel to clean up the dash. New glove box and lock. All inner wind lace, side and front and rear headliner trim. This includes the headliner and visors and rear view mirror, roll bar padding. Door sills. I also went through the inner door window cranks. Doors open close like new and windows up down smooth. The car originally had tunnel ram, Since the change I bought a new firebird 400 hood and had it painted to match. The firewall was smoothed has no heater and looks really great. I planned to replace the windshield it has a stone chip not a crack. And a wiper scratch. I did not do this change but planned for it. So I will include new windshield stainless molding for the new owner and new clips. Everything I mentioned that I had changed is brand new parts no swap meet crap! Most of it from classic industries.
This car reserve is extremely fair and would not even come close to what you see right now. It is less than my investment. I am listing the car as an on going project: This was an old drag car that I have brought back to more of a pro street. If I finish the minor details the reserve next time will be much higher and realistic. What it needs: Seat belts, Seats bolted in, Wiper blades, Maybe a windshield if you're picky. If you want to do any long trips a more street friendly stall converter. The car was updated with painless wiring and everything worked. Somehow I lost the tail lights? There is power already back there as that is where the battery is located and electric fuel pump. This will be easy. Paint is older but looks nice and shines great. It does have a couple bubbles coming very low behind drivers door to be expected of a barn find but nothing crazy still a great cruise night pro street. (easily) Floors are great with no issues same as the frame. The frame is tied front to rear. I believe the trans dip stick is too long so when full to the line it leaks in reverse after a couple runs it stops? However everyone who owns a small block knows they need to be driven. I only drove the car down my street and back a couple times before all the new changes, so very little drive time since I have owned it. This is a heck of a lot of car for the money and you could not do this for my reserve. This car is so worthy of the next level. I couldn't let it lay in a barn somewhere and I hope it goes to a great home. Paper work is in my name and current. Clear transferrable registration. This is what New York uses as titles for 1970 or older cars. I sold cars all over the world with no issues. Again, car is being listed as an on going project in as is condition.
I HAVE A 1969 DODGE CHARGER ON EBAY AS WELL, CARS CAN BE SOLD OUTSIDE EBAY AT ANY TIME UNLESS RESERVES ARE MET. DO NOT WAIT TO BID.
Good luck and happy new year.

Porsche Syberia RS rally car is what you make when you need a Hummer that's fast
Fri, Apr 24 2020Some history: The Porsche 911's first-ever race was the 1965 Monte Carlo rally, entered because Porsche's PR man at the time wanted to show how much the future icon could do. A year later, Porsche began selling an optional rally kit for the 911 that included Recaro seats, a roll bar, and adjustable Koni dampers. Porsche produced factory rally racers until the early 1970s, winning Monte Carlo three times in a row before letting privateers carry the torch so the factory could focus on campaigning in the East Africa Safari. After years of painful lessons, when Porsche took its brand-new 1978 911 SC to the safari, the 3.0-liter flat-six coupe was hours away from winning the race before damaging the suspension, demoting the car to second place. Porsche fans wanted their own replicas, and finding the new 911 to be an affordable option, the SC — built from 1978 to 1983 — went from denoting "Super Carrera" to "Safari Car."  Porsche took a big step up in with the 953 rally car. Built to win the 1984 Paris-Dakar, which it did, the 953 introduced the four-wheel-drive system Porsche would evolve for the 959 in 1985 and the 964-series 911 in 1989, as well as the now-unforgettable 911-based Rothmans livery. All of this is what's fueling today's 911 Safari Car revival around the world. Almost all of today's builds start with the so-called G Model 911s, produced from 1973 to 1989, usually focusing on the SC and the Carrera that ran from 1984 until 1989. Fast forward to 2007 when a mysterious crew organized the TransSyberia Rally, a "sports-touring" event that stretched 4,500 miles from Moscow to the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. Of the 34 vehicles that entered, 25 were Porsche's purpose-built Cayenne S Transsyberia Edition. Put this all in a pot and you have the beginnings of the car that brings us here, the Syberia RS. It's said that a German fellow by the name of Kai Burkhard wanted to buy a Humvee, but the low top speed, around 50 miles per hour, put him off. So instead, he imported a 1986 911 "in collector condition" from Japan with the idea of rebuilding it to provide almost all the off-road fun he could have had in the H1. Burkhard tapped the Tailor Made department at German suspension designer H&R, and the two set to work creating a build like the 953 Dakar winner. This content is hosted by a third party.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
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."
