Here's a car with huge potential. I bought it to fix up, and only got about halfway done. It's a 326, and I only have a few thousand miles on it since a complete rebuild. I chose a mild performance cam, so it idles smoothly. (about 292 duration, .490 lift, roller tip steel rockers) It has an Edelbrock 4bbl performer carb that I spent a lot of time getting the jets and metering rods just right. I still have the original 2bbl Rochester 2G and manifold if you want to go back to numbers-matching condition, but if you want to do that, I'd like to have the Edelbrock carb and intake manifold back. It is a factory air conditioning car, but it needs a compressor and condenser, but the hard-to-find compressor bracket is on the engine, and all the appropriate parts are on the firewall and in the cab. The transmission is the original Super-Turbine 300 2-speed, and it runs well and shifts smoothly. I also completely re-wired the car (with the exception of the trunk harness) with a perfect match of the original from M&H Electric. I put a new molded carpet in from Year One as well. Because it's been sitting the headliner is starting to fall apart, but if you exercise the "Buy-It-Now" option, I will install a new headliner for you before you pick it up. Basically it's an unmolested original. The bad news is a few years ago I was rear-ended on the side of the freeway when I stopped to help at the scene of an accident. The driver's side quarter panel and bumper are munched, but it still drives fine and tracks straight. I drove it to work for a while after that, then parked it when I got married, and now the wife wants me to "thin the herd". The good news is that the winner of this car gets included in the deal, a 67 Tempest parts car to go with it. That way you have a donor to repair the rear end. The parts car has a straight bumper and quarter panel that could be pasted right into this Le Mans. Also, someone before me put the wrong header panel and grille pieces in, so from the front it looks like a '66. The parts car also has the correct header panel, good grille inserts, and even a spare set of fenders and a good hood for "just in case". The parts car does not have a rear-end, but I can help load it with my tractor. I can deliver for a small fee within a couple hundred miles or so, upon prior arrangement.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
