PLEASE READ FIRST.....

     I really do not want to get ride of this car, but I just do not have anymore time for it and it has been sitting in my garage since the summer. I started a paint project back in April but never had the time to finish so the whole car is sanded, needs a paint job. It is a project car and could use some attention. I pulled the motor and rebuilt it, replacing nearly every gasket, seal, bearing, etc...I have tons of pictures of my work and kept almost every receipt of what I bought for it. The body has about 120K on it but the rebuilt motor has about 10K. I replaced the gauge cluster about a year ago so the mileage is off (reads about 138K). I got it tuned last year by Race Proven Motorsports in DE and it made 405rwhp (I have the paperwork to prove it). Recently, the idle has been acting up a little and when driving on the highway it seems to hesitate, could maybe use a retune. This car has been my life since I bought it, but I am getting older and need the money for other things. I have kept up with maintenance changing the oil (Mobil 1 synth) every 2500 miles. Here are all the specs on the car:

EXTERIOR

- TSP True Dual 3" to 2.5" custom exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers (pictures included)
- Pacesetter long tube headers that were ceramic coated 2 years ago. 
- 295/45/17 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials in the rear
- 10.5"X17 Torque Thrust Wheels by American Racing in rear, knock off brand in front
- BMR Torque Arm Red powdercoated
- BMR lower control arms
- Bilstein rear shocks
- BMR front sway bar
- Sphoon solid Motor Mounts
- Stock Rear Axle with reinforced differential cover

INTERIOR

- Corbeau Sport Seats
- Aftermarket sound system (Pioneer speakers in front, Alpine 6X10 in rear, JVC 10" Subwoofer, 600 Watt Amp)
- The interior was originally gray but I repainted and converted every panel to black.
- MGW short shifter
- White faced gauges
- A pillar gauge housing with Oil Pressure and Oil Temp gauge

MOTOR

- 5.7L LS1 Aluminum block (rebuilt, hot tanked)
- TSP 233/239 camshaft with 114lsa
- LS7 Lifters
- Comp Cams 7.4" Pushrods
- SLP high flow oil pump
- FAST 92mm throttle body 
- FAST 92mm Intake manifold
- Casting #799 Aluminum heads

TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH

- Rebuilt T-56 (rebuilt about a year ago by Gold Seal Transmission in Ramsey, NJ)
- 6 puck clutch by F1 Racing 
- New clutch master cylinder 
- New slave cylinder 

This car is a ton of fun and I want to see it in good hands! I don't really want to give it up but I need the money on other things right now. I would like to see what kind of offers I can get considering it needs a paint job and another tune possibly. It is probably a simple fix but I don't have the time to be messing around with it. Contact Nick at 845 598 6373. Thanks!

General Motors Recall List

Wed, Oct 22 2014

It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
