REAL HOOD TACH CAR

AM/FM CAR

DISK BRAKE CAR

 

In 1968, a John C. Riley , of Richmond, VA purchased a 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible for his wife. She did not like the car, and preferred a automatic, so the car sat in the garage for many years, undriven, untouched. Upon distribution of the family estate about 20 years ago, the car was inherited to Mr. Riley's son and has only been driven 61,000 DOCUMENTED miles in it's life. The engine was pulled 6 years ago and simply regasketed, also the car recieved a new convertible top,, as well as basic maintenence items. A new set of tires were also installed, as well as a exhaust.

 

The car largely sits that way today, aside from a modest engine detail and fluid changes and having the brakes gone through...

 

Car runs GREAT, original 400 pops instantly to life, 4 speed shifts like butter, car is completely rattle and shake free, 3.23 posi spins both rear tires on demand. Paint is fantastic for being mostly original and 45 years old.and car is dead straight. Interior is all original sans carpet, and is in fantastic shape. Power top, console clock!...this car has all the right stuff!

 

This car is a awesome driver and has ALL ORIGINAL BODY PANELS, floors are all original and completely uncut, with not a pinhole anywhere. This car has absolutely no rust issues whatsoever. Of course rear rails, rockers, ect. are fantastic as well.

 

I am a advid Pontiac collector, and this is the nicest Firebird I have ever owned. These 100% #'s matching original body panel cars are almost impossible to come by.

 

I have the original manuals, broadcast sheet, ect.

 

THIS CAR WILL NOT BE SOLD CHEAP. IT IS ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF UNRESTORED EXCELLENCE OUT THERE. JUST COMPLETED A 700 MILE ROAD TRIP FROM IT'S HOME IN VA TO ILLINOIS!

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We 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.

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.
