I am selling this car at no reserve because it has developed a knock. I took it to NAPA's garage and they said it could be spark knock or main bearing failure. It shows good oil pressure so I'm not sure what's going on. I am moving and don't have room at my new house to take an engine out if need be so I'm cutting my losses and selling it as is. I purchased it for $5,800 and it was driving strong with no problems but I took it three blocks from my house two weeks ago and it started knocking. The 400 engine was rebuilt by the previous owner as was the 400 tranny and a shift kit was installed. It has positraction rear and power steering/brakes. It has a brand new Holley 4160 aluminum carburator and electric fuel pump. The body is extremely straight and is nearly rust free with surface rust bubbling on the bottom of the wheelwell (see pic.) There are a couple paint chips that were repaired by the previous owner. The frame is also in great shape and only shows surface rust also. Original Rally rims are in excellent shape with like new Cooper tires all around. Interior is in great condition with NO dash cracks and it retains the original mahogany wood on the console and dash(only year for this,next came decals.) The seats are worn and ripped in a few places but the cushions and springs are still in excellent condition. It has new sway bar bushings and shocks are like new,it drives down the road straight,handles and stops like it should.I hate like hell to let such a clean example go but I can't keep it if my wife's gonna scream at me everytime she sees it. You can email me with any questions and I'll try to answer asap. Or you can call my home(309)444-9712 or my cell(702)576-6141. You're more than welcome to come check it out but obviously it will need to be trailered.Thanks for looking and have a great day.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
