1938 Pontiac Sports Coupe Street Drag Hot Rat Rod Custom Steel Business Chevy on 2040-cars
Akron, Ohio, United States
I have for sale a very special 1938 Pontiac 8 Cylinder Sports Coupe. The Sports Coupe was an expensive and rare model, a step above the Business coupe. As an 8 Cylinder model car it features a longer, more distinctive front end from the factory to accommodate the larger engine. The car benefits from this added length by having a sleeker design as well as allowing for a wide range of engine options. There is enough room to accommodate almost any size engine. With the side curtains off this car "advertises" an engine better than any car I have ever seen. You can also leave them on to keep it a mystery. Looks great both ways. I have owned this car for 23 years. It is an all steel body. 7 years ago the car was rebuilt with an upgraded rear end and compete chassis to its current "pro-street" setup. It only has approximately 1000 miles on the new build. I commissioned a local race car builder for a setup to handle 1000HP. It now has a bulletproof Ford 9in with Richmond gears, Detroit Locker posi, Moser axles, QA1 adjustable coilover suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum drive shaft, fuel cell, Weld Prostar alloy wheels and Mickey Thompson Radials(22" wide Steamrollers in the back!). Modern front end was also completely rebuilt when the rear was done; all brand new control arm bushings, ball joints, steering parts, etc... Car looks incredible in person, a true head-turner. Car was never raced, just had fun going to local cruise-ins on the weekends with the family. I have many original extra parts that go with it too. I like the barebones/ratrod/racer look, but I do have all the original bumpers, trim, etc... if you want to dress it back up. Please see the pics for all the extra parts I am including with the car. Car currently has Chevy Small Block 350/350 Automatic drivetrain. I have available for purchase a never started 355 SBC 12:1 Dart Head street/race motor I was going to install in it, but never got around to it. I will make it available to the purchaser of the car should you want to include it as a package deal. I have new short shocks for the car that need installed. They replace the current ones that are 1" too long with a set that are the perfect length for the new setup. Title is clean and clear, ready for new owner. I have all service history in a large folder including the major rebuild and wheels, tires, etc... I can meet at local airports or bus terminal or can help arrange shipping options. Please send me a message if you have any questions or if you wish to schedule an appointment to view the car. Thank you MORE PICS(click on them to enlarge): |

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season
Thu, Dec 9 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
