1938 Pontiac Sports Coupe Street Drag Hot Rat Rod Custom Steel Business Chevy on 2040-cars

Year:1938 Mileage:1000

I have for sale a very special 1938 Pontiac 8 Cylinder Sports Coupe. The Sports Coupe was an expensive and rare model, a step above the Business coupe. As an 8 Cylinder model car it features a longer, more distinctive front end from the factory to accommodate the larger engine. The car benefits from this added length by having a sleeker design as well as allowing for a wide range of engine options. There is enough room to accommodate almost any size engine. With the side curtains off this car "advertises" an engine better than any car I have ever seen. You can also leave them on to keep it a mystery. Looks great both ways.

I have owned this car for 23 years. It is an all steel body. 7 years ago the car was rebuilt with an upgraded rear end and compete chassis to its current "pro-street" setup. It only has approximately 1000 miles on the new build. I commissioned a local race car builder for a setup to handle 1000HP. It now has a bulletproof Ford 9in with Richmond gears, Detroit Locker posi, Moser axles, QA1 adjustable coilover suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum drive shaft, fuel cell, Weld Prostar alloy wheels and Mickey Thompson Radials(22" wide Steamrollers in the back!). Modern front end was also completely rebuilt when the rear was done; all brand new control arm bushings, ball joints, steering parts, etc... Car looks incredible in person, a true head-turner.

Car was never raced, just had fun going to local cruise-ins on the weekends with the family. I have many original extra parts that go with it too. I like the barebones/ratrod/racer look, but I do have all the original bumpers, trim, etc... if you want to dress it back up. Please see the pics for all the extra parts I am including with the car.

Car currently has Chevy Small Block 350/350 Automatic drivetrain. I have available for purchase a never started 355 SBC 12:1 Dart Head street/race motor I was going to install in it, but never got around to it. I will make it available to the purchaser of the car should you want to include it as a package deal. I have new short shocks for the car that need installed. They replace the current ones that are 1" too long with a set that are the perfect length for the new setup.

Title is clean and clear, ready for new owner. I have all service history in a large folder including the major rebuild and wheels, tires, etc... I can meet at local airports or bus terminal or can help arrange shipping options. Please send me a message if you have any questions or if you wish to schedule an appointment to view the car. Thank you

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

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.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
