Greetings Bidders-

Up for auction is my 1969 Grand Prix Model J Coupe. I bought her from a classic car dealer that bought her from the original owner last year. She has been garaged all of her life and is rust free and very sweeeeeet!  She drives, rides, and shifts as she did when she was brand new. She drives true and straight and has no squeaks or rattles. DRIVE HER ANYWHERE with complete confidence! All lights, signals, horn, winshield wipers work as they should! This car is truly original and unmolested! She has the original AM radio that still works! The paint is a year old and very shiny but it's a driver quality paint job. I get thumbs up every time I drive her! She just turned 91,000 on the odometer. The mileage I believe to be correct by looking at the repair records and the condition of the car bears this out. The chrome is original and is still very nice! The interior is very nice. The seats are original and the upholstery is in excellent shape with no cuts or tears! The dash is perfect with no cracks! In April she got a complete valve job, along with a new camshaft, (270 duration) double roller chain and roller tip rocker arms, billet HEI distributer and 750 Holley carb. She idles with a rumpety, rumpety rump through new two chambered Flowmasters!  Compression is 187 psi low, to 190 psi high! While we were at it I had the engine removed, cleaned, resealed,  painted and reinstalled. Also I installed a brand new heavy duty aluminum radiatorwith new belts and hoses! Even in 100 plus degree temperatures, she never gets any hotter than 190 degrees. The wheels and tires are brand new. Cragar 15x8's all the way around with 225/60's on the front and 255/60's on the rear. I have the original Ralley 2 wheels, caps and beauty rings that go with the car if Buy It Now Option is selected. They are also in exellent condition! Otherwise, the winning bidder can buy them for $750.00. Bid with confidence! This is a very nice driver quality automobile! I would rate the engine/drivetrain as a solid 10, body/chrome/ paint 7.5, interior, 8.5 Good luck bidding! The only reason I'm selling her is I'm buying a new house and I need to boost my down payment a bit. Whoever wins her will be very happy! Disclaimer: Please don't expect this car to be a showroom condition car! It is not perfect, but for it's age, I don't believe you will find a nicer, unmolested car in this price range! BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 10 FEEDBACK, CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING! Good Luck Bidding!

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
