Clear Nebraska title.  Drive it home this weekend.  Arizona car - - sat for 19 years.  Trailered up here from Tucson and has been in middle America for 18 months.  A blast to drive.  Alas, 3 kids in college next fall and a full driveway.

Sheet metal is surprisingly good for a car almost 50 years old:  trunk - - very good.  Interior floor - - some rust through on driver's floor.  Rear quarters - - A OK.  Rockers - - A OK.

326 V-8 in the car when it came north ... that engine died on the way to a regional car show.  Now the car has a fresh, machine-shop rebuilt Pontiac 400.  Some mild performance parts were added:  gear timing, mild cam, Holley carb, high-rise Edelbrock manifold, W-2 heads, distributor, stainless mufflers.  Also new gas tank, rear shocks, wiper motor.

As you've noticed, car has a GTO hood.  Arizona car, so it once had air conditioning (AC parts no longer around).  Dash pad tells the story that this buggy sat in the sun.  Headliner is gone.  Rear bench seat back - - upholstery deteriorated and removed, although the seat frame is here.  I think all exterior chrome is here but I haven't ordered new clips yet to install it.  At some point you will want to have the rear window channel blasted.  You can see a couple thumb-sized holes in driver side "flying buttress."  Tires are good.

I like the mid-60's Pontiacs and that classic coke-bottle A-body.  But sometimes it seems to me that the cars available for sale are either restored trailer-queens with pricetags in the stratosphere ... or rusted out and need 9 pieces of sheet metal. Then there are many for sale that are "almost ready" but just need ____________.  Or they are 2000 miles away from me.

So here's a road-ready car that you can drive all summer and work on next winter.  You could leave it as is for 5-10 years.  You need nothing to drive it the rest of the summer.  The front end is good and steering is tight.  The brakes are good.  The car downright flies when you step on it, and man, what a rumble (the shop welded Harley-Davidson chrome tips on for a little fun).  If you don't want people looking up when you rumble through an intersection, this car is not for you.

Gauges are not working.  Aftermarket under dash double gauge does work.  There is evidence of some bondo on driver's side upper rear quarter panel, but no dent is evident from inside the trunk so it does not seem to be deep.  I have tried to represent this car honestly and will answer any questions or take any pictures you ask for.  I hope that some will agree the price is fair.  

This car is a builder, but they're not making any more of these.  Car is right in middle of the USA at the crossroads of I-80 and I-29.  I've worked for a decade to have a 100% eBay feedback rating, so don't bid if you don't have the cash right now.  $1000 PayPal down payment within 24 hours.

Price starts at $8500.  Enjoy the pics (I'll add a couple more this weekend).  Thanks for looking - - good hunting!

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 — 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 — 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.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver

Wed, Feb 13 2019

Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo

Tue, Jan 10 2017

The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.
