History

  • First introduced to the car in the early 1980s as it was my grandfathers' Ray Wolfe, Leonidas Michigan. Since then to date the car has been stored in doors.
  • 1986ish the car was sold to a high school classmate, Tim Slater, Sturgis Michigan. Tim and my cousin were the same age and they spent many hours maintaining their cars for shows and the weekends.
  • In 1991 my grandfather purchased the car back and I purchased it from him.  It has been in my care since.
  • In early 2003 a knock began in the lower end of the motor.  The car was sentenced to the garage. I pulled the motor and found via rotation and removal of the oil pan that main bearings 6-8 were scoring. Pulling the heads identified that cylinders 1-4 where running rich, with 5-6 less rich, and 7-8 were showing a lean run.
  • St Clair Engine rebuilders was a known friend of a friend that builds circle track race motors.  Larry was hired to rebuild the motor.
  • The motor was placed back in with a new starter, fuel pump, and clutch.  The Tri-Power leaked in the mechanisms; therefore, a call and purchase from Edelbrock of the specific intake and dual 350 carburetors to match the rebuild.
  • The car has been taken out for Sunday drives and the occasional local car show but has not seen 1000miles in the 9 years since the rebuild.  Run time is more than miles as it has been started 4-5 times a month to run or move in and out of the garage.
  • Winters, the battery is removed and the car remains covered in the garage.
  • This car needs no work to drive as is today and even stand up in car shows; pump 3x and fire up.  Additional time and money would be required to improve to car show award level but there is a very solid foundation to work from.
  • Parting ways for the car to be in the hands of the next enthusiast.

The car will be at the Woodward Dream Cruise Birmingham Michigan August 17th.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
