Up for auction is a wrecked, rolling shell of a 1969 Lemans 2 door hardtop. Was a floor shift automatic with buckets and console.This car is mostly parted out as you can see in the pictures. I was going to scrap it but when I pulled the carpet and saw the floors I thought someone might be able to use them, would be a shame to scrap it. The only non-sheet metal parts left are the gas tank, driveshaft, windshield, rear window and exhaust. The exhaust consists of dual straight pipes with cherry bomb mufflers. Sounded great before I pulled the engine. The driver side tail pipe is bent from the accident. The windshield and rear window glass is good, no cracks and is tinted. No other glass is included. Both doors are already sold. The chassis is complete and is 4 wheel drum. The frame is bent in the rear from the accident but is very solid. It could probably be fixed fairly easily. The rear is open, 10 bolt. I don't know the ratio. I looked for the markings on the tubes and didn't see any. The floors are rock solid, all original. The rusted places seen in the pictures are surface rust, no weak places that I could see. The trunk floor and inner/outer rear wheel wells are very nice as well except where the trunk pan is bent from the rear ender. There is one patched place.[about 4"X4"] on the passenger side toe board [shown in the last picture]. That is the only patch I can see on any of the floors, passenger area or trunk. These floors are original, never painted [other than factory overspray], as they were from the factory so there is nothing covered up. What you see is what you get. As you can see the trunk lid and driver's rear quarter are toast. The passenger rear quarter looks pretty straight but does have some bondo in it. The front fenders are useable but also have bondo where the hood meets them and at the bottom, where they all rust. The hood is rusted in the underside framing near the windshield and has holes drilled from hood pins. The area under the windshield at the cowl vents unfortunately has the usual rust-thru [2nd to last pict.]. I am starting the auction at $550 which is what I figure I can get if I continue to piece it out and scrap the body. What you see in the pictures is what you get. No parts will be taken off the car while the auction is running. This car rolls easily but has no steering and no brakes. The title is clear and open, VIN plate and body tag are in place. Any questions, please ask. I can take more pictures of any areas of concern, just let me know. Buyer to pay in full within 5 days of auction ending. $250 deposit within 24 hours of auction ending. Thanks for looking, Bill

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams

Fri, Aug 31 2018

There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time Â— its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 Â— a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video Â– riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.
