History

  • First introduced to the car in the early 1980s as it was my grandfathers' Ray Wolfe, Leonidas Michigan. Since then to date the car has been stored in doors.
  • 1986ish the car was sold to a high school classmate, Tim Slater, Sturgis Michigan. Tim and my cousin were the same age and they spent many hours maintaining their cars for shows and the weekends.
  • In 1991 my grandfather purchased the car back and I purchased it from him.  It has been in my care since.
  • In early 2003 a knock began in the lower end of the motor.  The car was sentenced to the garage. I pulled the motor and found via rotation and removal of the oil pan that main bearings 6-8 were scoring. Pulling the heads identified that cylinders 1-4 where running rich, with 5-6 less rich, and 7-8 were showing a lean run.
  • St Clair Engine rebuilders was a known friend of a friend that builds circle track race motors.  Larry was hired to rebuild the motor.
  • The motor was placed back in with a new starter, fuel pump, and clutch.  The Tri-Power leaked in the mechanisms; therefore, a call and purchase from Edelbrock of the specific intake and dual 350 carburetors to match the rebuild.
  • The car has been taken out for Sunday drives and the occasional local car show but has not seen 1000miles in the 9 years since the rebuild.  Run time is more than miles as it has been started 4-5 times a month to run or move in and out of the garage.
  • Winters, the battery is removed and the car remains covered in the garage.
  • This car needs no work to drive as is today and even stand up in car shows; pump 3x and fire up.  Additional time and money would be required to improve to car show award level but there is a very solid foundation to work from.
  • Parting ways for the car to be in the hands of the next enthusiast.

The car will be at the Woodward Dream Cruise Birmingham Michigan August 17th.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
