69 Firebird Trans Am Clone No Reserve Camaro Chevelle 68 70 67 on 2040-cars
Hudsonville, Michigan, United States
you are bidding on my 69 trans am clone. there is a ton to cover with this car so i'll try to get it all. first thing first I am possibly crazy but im selling at no reserve. I am however willing to accept offers as i do have the car for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction at any given time. I have pictured what the car looked like when i first bought it all the way to current. heres the scoop on the car front to back and top to bottom. This car was a 400 car originally. Exterior: New paint, front and rear bumper, emblems, side marker lights and bezels, lights, door handles, mirrors, drip rail moldings, windsheild, back glass, tires, center caps, lug nuts. Engine & Transmission: The engine is a 1970 YD code 400 built by butler performance a few years ago and has around 3,000 miles on it currently. edelbrock performer intake and carb (750 cfm) hooker super comp ceramic coated headers, thrush h-pipe exhaust system. turbo 400 transmission wich is the original to the car. new motor mounts, transmission mount and power steering lines . hei distributor. this car has the biggest cam you can buy for a pontiac motor thus robbing vaccuum to the power brake booster. the starter really needs a heat sheild to protect it from the head of the headers. new belts and hoses. aluminum 3 row radiator to help keep it cool. also has a 160 degree thermostat. Rear end: is a 10 bolt safe-t-track posi rear end with a 3.55 gear ratio. correct rear end for a 69 trans am. Brakes: new rotors, calipers, hoses, steel lines, proportioning valve, dust sheilds, booster, master cylinder rear hose, shoes and drums. the steel lines are in the front only from the matster cylinder down. the main line to the rear is the original. New gas tank and sending unit. New: door & trunk weather stripping, seat backs (not installed) rear seat upholstery (not installed) ball joints, control arm bushings, front shocks, sway bar end links, front bearings, rag joint for the steering column, the rear shocks and leaf springs are original multi leaf springs. the car once had a camaro quarter put on the drivers side. that was replaced with a correct firebird quarter before paint. the hood is a steel hood and not a fiberglass hood. the interior is original and should be redone. otherwise decent passable driver quality. the floor boards have small holes in them which the previous owner patched over them rather than doing the work correctly. I have one full length floor pan for the passenger side but never bought the drivers side. I figured i would have them corrected when i had the interior redone. the dash lights and the gas gauge randomly stopped working a couple weeks ago. Havent had it looked at and not sure why so that should be addressed. this car is not a 100 point concourse frame off restoration but sure does present its self very well. the paint quality is about an 8 out of 10 and could really look super show with a little more wet sanding and buffing to really make it look glass. the car also has brand new front subframe bushings and bolts. anymore questions please do not hesitate. I wish i could keep the car but I am selling all of my projects as I just dont have the time to play with them anymore due to family size and sporting obligations. I get thumbs up no matter where i go and this car is guaranteed to draw attention in any crowd or car show. after all how many 69 trans am's do you see at car shows? EXACTLY!!! be the only one there every single time! |

What's driving the spike in air-cooled Porsche 911 prices
Thu, Mar 26 2015Classic car prices have been racing skyward in general, but prices for air-cooled (pre-1999) Porsche 911s are ascending like they're strapped to rocket boosters. It's been going on for years, and every year people are surprised by how outrageous it's getting: Classic Driver covered it this month, as did The Truth About Cars who included this example of a "scruffy" 1993 RS America with 215,000 miles asking $80K; Mike Spinelli at Drive riffed on it at length last year along with a host of classic-car-market observers; Porsche forums were at it two years ago; and let's not even get into the 993 Turbo, going for prices so high you have to lie down to look at them. Speed Academy has run a piece looking at why it's happening, one theory being that regular-guy owners are hopping on the runaway-price wagon without any good reason. As in the example of that high-mileage, scruffy 911 RS America at Bring a Trailer, the owner sees pristine examples valued by Hagerty at $170,000, and even though the average value is $93,238 he thinks something like, "Mine's got to be worth half of top dollar ..." The tide - even one rising on air - makes it hard to find decent prices. Then there is the flood of money into the market. In spite of articles that try to temper investors' outlooks on collectible cars, other articles in places like the Financial Times and the Guardian promote vintage metal as a safe place to put money and reap astonishing returns. Speed Academy thinks one side effect of high 911 prices is that responsible enthusiasts are turning their attention to cars like the BMW 2002, E30 M3, and E9 3.0CS, saying their prices are "sharply on the rise." The entire article is worth a read since it goes into markets far afield from pricey German steel, but incredibly, the entire piece was actually inspired by a 1997 Acura Integra R that sold for $43,000 on eBay. So while this could be the best time to get into the classic car market if you know what you're doing, it is certainly the best time to do your homework. Related Video:
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.
Junkyard Gem: 1964 Pontiac Catalina Custom Ventura
Mon, May 22 2023Like Impala, Skylark, Malibu and Silverado (among many others), the Ventura name began its career as the designation for a trim level or option package used on another GM model, then became a model name in its own right. Initially a designation for a snazzed-up Pontiac Catalina two- or four-door hardtop, the Ventura name moved over to a Pontiac-ized version of the Chevy Nova for 1971. Today's Junkyard Gem, found in a Northern California car graveyard, proudly bears both Catalina and Ventura badging. Actually, the Catalina name itself started out as a trim level for the Chieftain and Star Chief models of the 1950s, just to confuse everybody. By the time this car was built, the Catalina was the cheapest of four Pontiac models built on the same full-size B-Body platform as the big Chevrolets and Olds 88s of the time (the Star Chief, Bonneville and Grand Prix ranked above it on the 1964 Pontiac Prestige-O-Meter). The 1964 Catalina four-door hardtop with the Custom Ventura package offered a lot of swank per dollar, with a price starting at $3,063. That's about $29,821 when converted to inflated 2023 dollars. The main benefit of the Custom Ventura package was an interior done up entirely in Morrokide upholstery. Morrokide was the name GM applied to Naugahyde fake leather when used in Pontiac vehicles; when used in Buicks, it was known as Cordaveen, while Oldsmobile Naugahyde was called Morocceen. Naugahyde took its name from the town of Naugatuck, Connecticut, where it was invented. This car's Morrokide is in rough shape. In fact, everything about this car is decayed and probably infectious. You know to be careful when a junkyard car has warnings about rat feces inked on the glass. That said, I couldn't resist examining the 8-track tapes that littered the interior. Here's Hotel California, the 1976 hit album by the Eagles. Supertramp's Paris, a live album recorded from the 1979 Breakfast in America tour, is here as well. Here's The Best of Carly Simon, from 1975. The tapes were played on this Sparkomatic player, which probably lived in the glovebox or under the seat. The factory radio was AM-only, and includes the frequency markings for the atomic-attack CONELRAD emergency frequencies. 1964 was the last year for mandatory CONELRAD radios in the United States.
