Whether or not you like Rod Stewart, you've gotta admit.. 70's cars are the coolest. And who made a cooler car than the Pontiac Firebird!?

This one was originally an Esprit with a Pontiac 350. 100% California car, I have a copy of the previous CA title and on that title "Previous State" is blank. Oh yeah, from California to Colorado and now to you! This baby has never seen snow!

The body is in very good shape for it's age. Look at those wheel wells! The underside of the hood? Come on, whens the last time you say THAT on an original car?? Floor will need attention, I planned on doing so after about three to four seasons of cruising.

She's been outfitted with a 6.6 liter Olds 403 engine. I balked when I found this out.. then I educated myself and found that Car Craft's Engine Masters top ten finisher Bill Travato built one for a customer of his that uses NITROUS. Yes, NITROUS. Seems this engine isn't any different than others: Abuse it and it won't last. Build it right and it has GODZILLA potential!! Plus, as low as these cars are geared, where THE HECK are you going to REV this thing out, the Bonneville salt flats?

Please.

Mondello is no different. He's built tons of these. Further reading: http://www.mondellotwister.com/articles/UnsungHero.pdf

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.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
