Here's a car with huge potential. I bought it to fix up, and only got about halfway done. It's a 326, and I only have a few thousand miles on it since a complete rebuild. I chose a mild performance cam, so it idles smoothly. (about 292 duration, .490 lift, roller tip steel rockers) It has an Edelbrock 4bbl performer carb that I spent a lot of time getting the jets and metering rods just right. I still have the original 2bbl Rochester 2G and manifold if you want to go back to numbers-matching condition, but if you want to do that, I'd like to have the Edelbrock carb and intake manifold back. It is a factory air conditioning car, but it needs a compressor and condenser, but the hard-to-find compressor bracket is on the engine, and all the appropriate parts are on the firewall and in the cab. The transmission is the original Super-Turbine 300 2-speed, and it runs well and shifts smoothly. I also completely re-wired the car (with the exception of the trunk harness) with a perfect match of the original from M&H Electric. I put a new molded carpet in from Year One as well. Because it's been sitting the headliner is starting to fall apart, but if you exercise the "Buy-It-Now" option, I will install a new headliner for you before you pick it up. Basically it's an unmolested original. The bad news is a few years ago I was rear-ended on the side of the freeway when I stopped to help at the scene of an accident. The driver's side quarter panel and bumper are munched, but it still drives fine and tracks straight. I drove it to work for a while after that, then parked it when I got married, and now the wife wants me to "thin the herd". The good news is that the winner of this car gets included in the deal, a 67 Tempest parts car to go with it. That way you have a donor to repair the rear end. The parts car has a straight bumper and quarter panel that could be pasted right into this Le Mans. Also, someone before me put the wrong header panel and grille pieces in, so from the front it looks like a '66. The parts car also has the correct header panel, good grille inserts, and even a spare set of fenders and a good hood for "just in case". The parts car does not have a rear-end, but I can help load it with my tractor. I can deliver for a small fee within a couple hundred miles or so, upon prior arrangement.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
