1969 Trans Am Recreation on 2040-cars
Big Lake, Minnesota, United States
|
First off, I apologize to the 100's of watchers as the picture quality was poor, and eBay would not allow me to change them out, so I had to realist the car. Didn’t make the best Black Friday purchase yet? Then here is your chance to make a great purchase, and have it delivered before the holiday season ends! Up for auction for one week and one time only is a 1969
trans am tribute. The car was purchased
from the east coast as you currently see it in the pictures. The previous owner replaced the quarter
panels professionally (skins), and the rest of the bodywork and interior was
also completed prior to my purchase of this vehicle. The paint scheme is correct with cameo ivory
exterior and blue racing stripes. he blue interior is in very good condition, but the center console could use some TLC. As you
can see from the pictures, the car has been restored to a very nice condition,
but there are a few blemishes in the paint as this car is driven (only on nice
days) and is an “older” restoration. The power plant in this “old” poncho is a 1972 455 stroked to 467. I purchased an Eagle stroker kit with H beam rods, forged pistons, and Mahle file fit rings. The entire rotating assembly was balanced and blueprinted. I purchased a camshaft, new valve springs, pushrods, timing chain/gear set, and roller tip steel rockers all from comp cams. In addition, I purchased ARP head studs to properly secure the heads to the engine block. Topping off the motor is a pair of Pontiac #96 heads, a Holley street dominator intake manifold, and a demon 825 blow through carb. The head stud kit was needed, as I knew I wanted to run a supercharger, so I finally settled on a Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger. The bracket to mount the supercharger was made by a gentleman in CA. The bracket and supercharger fitment on the engine and in the engine bay is absolutely fantastic! For those that want to know, the engine went to the dyno for testing, and it would eventually make a very respectable 626 HP and almost 700 foot-pounds of torque. I believe that the intake manifold held back some of the horsepower numbers, but there is room for more boost as I do have a larger crankshaft pulley. I installed a new four core aluminum radiator this spring, and the car ran at 195 degrees even in stop and go traffic with an outside air temp well over 95 degrees. The radiator was guaranteed to cool to up to 950 horsepower. The car was an original four-speed car, but it needed an overdrive transmission. I purchased a TKO 600 kit with a driveshaft, cross member, and a clutch. The transmission has an .062 fifth gear so cruising is made very easy with the 3.55 posi-traction rear gear. AT 70 MPH, the motor is turning about 2100 RPMs per the tach on the hood. One of the pictures shows a classic audio sound USA 630 radio which allows you the ease of bringing your iPod, thumb drive, or installing a cd changer to listen to all of your music. Unfortunately, on of the previous owners did not do a very good job of installing one of their radios, so I thought the next potential buyer should see a picture of the radio cutout. Most of you know approximate costs to restore cars, build Pontiac motors, add superchargers, etc., so hopefully you can appreciate me having a reserve on this item. I have receipts for all of the engine modifications and print outs of the dyno session. In addition, there is room for more boost as I do have a larger crankshaft pulley. If you have any questions including closeups or different angles, please ask them prior to bidding! I do have this vehicle listed for sale locally, so I do reserve ending the auction early if a local buyer decides to purchase. I have been an eBay member for 12 plus years with 100% feedback rating. I want your transaction to be just as successful! Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding! |

Want to buy a worst-in-show-winning Faux Ferrari Fiero?
Mon, Aug 31 2020UPDATE: This heap sold for $5,001. But don't fret, there are more terrible cars out there for the taking if that's your thing. Today we bring you something truly terrible. It's not just a fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero, it's actually the world's worst fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero. And it's got the award from the Concours d'Lemons to prove it. It's so heinous, in fact, that it has somehow managed to become desirable, at least judging by the bidding history of this bright red affront to Maranello. Powered by a 140-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 engine (covered by an unconvincing and broken fake V12 cover) hooked to an automatic gearbox, this gloriously poor Prancing Horse won't be winning many stoplight drag races. There are bundles of stray wires hanging down from the dashboard, it has high mileage, most of its lights don't work, and it's ugly. Like, really ugly. And to top it off, this Fauxrarri can't currently be registered in its home state of California because it has failed its most recent smog test. Put simply, you're looking at a total piece of junk. But a piece of junk with internet notoriety, having been featured on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage after attending the 2019 Quail Motorsports Gathering — by mistake at first, and then earning a special place next to the porta potties — being the focus of a video series on YouTube and winning the aforementioned ribbon for Worst in Show at Lemons. Somehow, bidding has topped $4,000 at the time of this writing. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There 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.
