The car's history: The builder of the car passed on a few years back. The car sat in a barn as an old drag car until sold to a friend of that family. The car went from one barn to the next. I found the car local to me and wanted it to live again. The car before my ownership had new panels put on. This would include quarters, doors, fenders, inner front fender wells and radiator support. The car is a pro street tubbed with monster rear Mickey Thompson Sportsmans. The paint is GM white with candy green sides- looks great in the sun. Starts like easy. The motor: Date code 327, 1968 It has been bored and done with aluminum heads an Edelbrock intake Holley 600. Has billet pulleys. The rear: Ford nine inch with 10 and a half inch drums. Posi unit with gears that feel to me like 456's as my best guess. The transmission: Automatic on the floor however has 4 speed pedals. Has a stall I would guess again around 3000- 3500. What I do know is all the new I put in and it runs in the thousands. I have a stack of receipts less than 90 days old to prove this. New: Both front and rear bumpers: This includes the entire grill assembly and license plate holder and emblems. Weld rims front and rear with new front tires. Most all the front suspension and bushings. ball joints and springs. tie rods and links. Steering was tired so I replaced the steering box and rag joint. Nice tight steer no walk around issues. The brakes were tired: New master cylinder proportioning valve and rear wheel cylinders. Disc brake front, Some brake lines. Fronts are braided lines. The engine: I replaced the thermostat and installed an electric fan which works on start up. I installed a radiator catch can. The ignition is all new MSD. Coil cap rotor wires plugs. The trans: Had a leaky gasket so new pan gasket and screen. Fresh trans fluid. The interior: The interior was worse for wear and had a 8 point roll cage. I'm older so the side bars were cut out immediately. I have them if your heart desires climbing a cage to get in. The rest of the cage is in. I replaced both door panels, arm rest and both door handles and all four window cranks. Although being tubbed the rears are for show. I replaced the carpet and installed a radio delete panel to clean up the dash. New glove box and lock. All inner wind lace, side and front and rear headliner trim. This includes the headliner and visors and rear view mirror, roll bar padding. Door sills. I also went through the inner door window cranks. Doors open close like new and windows up down smooth. The car originally had tunnel ram, Since the change I bought a new firebird 400 hood and had it painted to match. The firewall was smoothed has no heater and looks really great. I planned to replace the windshield it has a stone chip not a crack. And a wiper scratch. I did not do this change but planned for it. So I will include new windshield stainless molding for the new owner and new clips. Everything I mentioned that I had changed is brand new parts no swap meet crap! Most of it from classic industries.
This car reserve is extremely fair and would not even come close to what you see right now. It is less than my investment. I am listing the car as an on going project: This was an old drag car that I have brought back to more of a pro street. If I finish the minor details the reserve next time will be much higher and realistic. What it needs: Seat belts, Seats bolted in, Wiper blades, Maybe a windshield if you're picky. If you want to do any long trips a more street friendly stall converter. The car was updated with painless wiring and everything worked. Somehow I lost the tail lights? There is power already back there as that is where the battery is located and electric fuel pump. This will be easy. Paint is older but looks nice and shines great. It does have a couple bubbles coming very low behind drivers door to be expected of a barn find but nothing crazy still a great cruise night pro street. (easily) Floors are great with no issues same as the frame. The frame is tied front to rear. I believe the trans dip stick is too long so when full to the line it leaks in reverse after a couple runs it stops? However everyone who owns a small block knows they need to be driven. I only drove the car down my street and back a couple times before all the new changes, so very little drive time since I have owned it. This is a heck of a lot of car for the money and you could not do this for my reserve. This car is so worthy of the next level. I couldn't let it lay in a barn somewhere and I hope it goes to a great home. Paper work is in my name and current. Clear transferrable registration. This is what New York uses as titles for 1970 or older cars. I sold cars all over the world with no issues. Again, car is being listed as an on going project in as is condition.
I HAVE A 1969 DODGE CHARGER ON EBAY AS WELL, CARS CAN BE SOLD OUTSIDE EBAY AT ANY TIME UNLESS RESERVES ARE MET. DO NOT WAIT TO BID.
Good luck and happy new year.

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car
Mon, Nov 30 2020Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video: Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We 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.
