1975 Pontiac Trans Am originally a 400/ 4 speed car, now it sports a 505 cubic inch supercharged Pontiac roller motor. The block was purchased directly from ALLPONTIAC.COM. A Paxton NOVI 2000 supercharger is currently making 12.7 pounds of boost which equates into 650 rear wheel horsepower and over 700 foot pounds of torque. The brackets for the supercharger are all CNC custom made. A March serpentine system runs power steering, alternator, water pump and A/C!! The transmission is a Tremec TKO 600 five speed. A custom made Strange Engineering Ford nine inch rear completes the drive train with 3.89 gears. A Hotchkiss Total Vehicle System, Hotchkiss sub frame connectors and Competition Engineering Slider Links makes up the suspension. The car sits 2 inches lower than stock. The front brakes are slotted rotors and the rears are 11 inch drums. A hydroboost system ensures stopping power. Aeromotive 3000 electric fuel pump with sump, all plumbed in stainless steel braided line. The interior is very stock looking and in original condition. A Quick Fuel air fuel computer is present to read real time percentages. Upon purchase, this car was sent to Farrish Pontiac where it was stripped and painted base/clear in the cars original color, Argent Silver. No rust at the time the car was painted nor does it have any now. Floors and trunk are all original and solid. All new weather stripping, new Trans Am decals which were supplied by Phoenix Graffix. Car is very original looking but is a race car underneath. The wheels are original honeycombs which have been restored with the original wheel paint. I had it custom made by 3M. The rear wheels are 15x9, they were sent to Weld Craft Wheels where they were widened 2 inches. Tires are sticky M&H Racemasters. This build is about 1500 miles old and has never seen the track. It has been covered in the garage and driven only to cars and coffee. This build was completed by George Reggio at Maryland Performance Center.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If 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.

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.
