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.

700 horsepower Porsche GT2 RS is the wildest 911 ever

Fri, Jun 30 2017

The Porsche 911 comes in a variety of flavors, each filling a certain taste for a certain customer. Sitting atop the range is the new 911 GT2 RS. In previous generations, the GT2 had a bit of a reputation as a widowmaker, a 911 with massive power that could snap and bite with the slightest agitation. Porsche says the new model has been civilized, but with 700 horsepower going to the rear wheels, we're sure it's going to be as mad as ever. Power comes from a highly massaged version of the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Turbo S. The rear-mounted engine makes an outrageous 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Like we previously reported, the new car will use water injection to help keep things cool. The only transmission is Porsche's PDK. While enthusiasts may lament the loss of the manual, the RS models have always been about performance above all else. Simply put, the PDK is the better performance option. All that power translates to a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The engine makes 80 more horsepower than the previous model. That makes it the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. In fact, the 887 horsepower 918 Spyder is the only road-going Porsche that makes more power. The fact that Porsche trusts all of that power to go to the rear is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. In order to manage traction, the GT2 RS gets a number of upgrades. Rear-wheel steering has become commonplace in the 911 lineup, so it's no surprise to see it here. Sticky tires with 265/35 ZR 20 section rubber at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 section rubber at the rear keep things planted. That comically large rear wing adds downforce, adding to stability. The car gets standard carbon ceramic brakes. While some people prefer traditional rotors for the street, like the PDK, this is all about performance. A number of intakes and outlets complement the rear wing and maximize aerodynamic efficiency. It's a bit of a surprise that with all the focus on downforce, the GT2 RS still manages to top out at 211 mph. The hood, front wings, wheel housing vents, door mirrors, side air intakes, parts of the rear end, and a number of interior components are all made from carbon fiber. The roof has been made of magnesium. If you want to drop any pretense of civility and comfort in the pursuit of speed, Porsche is offering a Weissach package that shaves off another 40 pounds from the already impressive wet weight of 3,241.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Autoblog Classifieds finds: 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT

Tue, May 15 2018

Autoblog's free Readers' Used Car Classifieds section is a great place to list your car for sale, and because these are readers, they often list really interesting cars. Occasionally we find interesting listings, and tell you what's special about them. This 1987 Pontiac Fiero was listed for sale at the time of this writing, but if the listing expires by the time you read this, feel free to browse for other great finds. Thirty years after General Motors stopped building it, the Pontiac Fiero might have finally emerged from the darkness. First, it was a humble commuter car that just happened to be a mid-engined coupe, then it was a re-skinnable basis for Fierorraris or other slightly strange kit cars, and then it made some Worst Cars of All Time lists due to its econobox ingredients, including its Chevy Citation suspension parts. But after a few decades, even the most mediocre car will become interesting as most of the examples built have been run into the ground; why not then the Fiero? The story of the Fiero is paralleled by a number of GM products, as it improved constantly the longer it was built, and by the time of the last model years it was quite decent indeed. And then the plug was pulled. The Fiero might not be a Toyota MR2 or even a Fiat X1/9, but it was made in two body styles, the notchback and the fastback, the latter of which looks especially good now. The Fiero also remains quite affordable, and the plastic body panels do not rust, unlike with the two aforementioned cars. This 1987 car advertised for sale at Autoblog Classifieds does not yet benefit from the 1988 cars' improved suspension, but thanks to its low, low 47,000-mile odometer reading, it looks to be in tip-top shape. The automatic transmission is just the three-speed affair, though, rendering the V6 car here more of a cruiser than a fiery hot canyon carver. Perhaps that has contributed to its good condition, along with the lack of possibly leaky T-tops. Could the Fiero have aged better than your Hall & Oates tapes?
