Here is a GTO (Clone) This started out life as a Tempest Custom but as you can see Looks exactly Like a GTO! I have Spent a TON of Money on this car so far Just getting all the required Stuff to convert it into a GTO. It is Not just a hood swap like a lot of guys do and then call it a clone I went the Whole Nine yards and bought just about EVERYTHING!!!!! As you can see we changed the Tail Light Panel to a GTO, I found a set of GTO Tail Lights and they are Installed with New Gaskets and Bolts. I also found a Real set of GTO Grilles (not repo's) I bought the GTO Parking Lights and they are Brand New in the Box. Grille Surrounds are still needed. I have new Window felts in The Box, New Door Handles, EVERY GTO Emblem that goes on the car. (Inside and out) I also have the GTO Lucite that goes above the Glove Box and the Grab Handle. I have a Brand New Trunk Seal and I also Bought Brand New Bumpers that are still in the Box! I also had the Bumpers Brackets Sand Blasted and Powder Coated. (most of them can be seen on the spare tire in the trunk) I also Bought a 1967 Center Console and "His And Hers" Shifter and I put New Wood grain on the Console and the Shifter. I also have all the Brackets needed to install and hook up the Console and Shifter! The Dash also has New Wood Grain on it. .. The Hood is A Factory GTO Hood, (Not a Repo) The car has a New Dash Pad, new arm rest bases and Pads and New Rugs. Car Also has a New Dual Exhaust with Flowmaster Mufflers. Top has never really been out in the Weather since it was Installed. I also have Brand New Wheel Well Moldings, and the Chrome that goes on top of the Door Edge and Quarter edge... It is supposed to have a 1969 350 in it and it has an Aluminum Intake and a Holley Carb. The car Also has Power Steering and Power Brakes.... All it needs Now is to be Block Sanded and Painted. Recover the Interior and You'll have a Beautiful Convertible for the Summer! The floors and trunk are Solid, No rust!.. The Underside Looks Great!! .. This is a Very Solid car! I just put a New Battery in it from "Sams's Club" 5 Months ago. It will need a Battery tray. (I didn't get one because I was considering putting a Chevy Motor in it and I would have to relocate the battery Tray to the Opposite side) It also has Air Shocks on it. There is tons of stuff in the trunk to finish the car, Sand Paper, air board paper, thinner, some primer, Lacquer Thinner ect ect.... The car was Original Red, I was going to redo it Red with a White Interior. .It would look Gorgeous!!! But I lost Interest. Like I said I have a Ton of time and Money in it so far, My Loss is your gain! There isn't much left to do! I know I,m forgetting stuff and I'll try to add later. Check out the Pictures. Thanks for Looking. Buyer is responsible for Shipping. Uship.com is probably the most reasonable. They bid for the Lowest Price. Also wanted to say that the Tires are still new, Just have been going around the Block from time to time. Also the car is Located in Sewell, NJ 08080 at this time if anyone wants to see it. I am Currently in Florida but My Brother can show it to you if needed. Thanks for looking.

Just so everyone know, to change the Interior over to White it will cost a total of $1195.00 from a Company called "TamRaz" That includes Everything even a Convertible top boot. If you want to keep the car with Black interior it would be cheap to finish, you would Only need front door panels and front seat covers. I have over $15K invested in this car. You can buy it here for less and still have a Finished Product for under $20K. You could be cruising in a Car that Looks like its Worth $50,000 for under $20,000. I have included 2 Pictures of How I was going to make the car look. See the 2 Pics I just added. This is what the car would look like when finished!

I would like to add that I may be interested in a Trade, I would prefer a 1967 to 1969 Camaro or a 1964 to 1972 Chevelle / Elcamino.. I,m a Chevy Guy. But I may be open to any Interesting trade of equal value or above. .. Remember, when the Top goes down the Price goes up! ... I just added 4 more Pictures, they are what the car looked like before I started working on it. As you can see the car was in very good condition before I started.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel
Sat, Nov 22 2014When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.
