dynoed at 608 hp at 604 ft lbs of torque at 5900 RPM. I have the entire blueprint/build sheet,
that tells everything that has been done,inside and out. They broke it in while dyno

receipts for everything I've put into the car. Here is a list of the stuff i have on

TCI 4 link with panhard bar located between the gas tank and rear end.
brand new aluminum drive shaft.
newly rebuilt turbo 350 with all the goodies,including B&M shift kit,and B&M 2500 Hole shot converter
Detroit speed 3" mini tub. i have 295/50/15 on the rear,and there is room for a 12" tire max.
Doug's ceramic coated headers,hooked up to a 3" mandrel bent,flowmaster exhaust,with 40 series flowmaster mufflers.
new dash pad,carpet,and new dyna mat and hush mat under carpet.
brand new carbon fiber Auto Meter gauges.
new engine only has 347 miles, which does not match the odometer,cause i had a different motor in it when i put gauges in.
new headliner and dome light, for some reason,dome light doesn't come on. It hasn't bothered me, so i haven't fixed it.
custom package tray with same carbon fiber vinyl that is in trunk area.
seats are from a LEXUS IS300 and i had the back seats upholstered to match, seats are both power seats.
custom front kick panels with speakers. The kick panels are wrapped in black leather.
brand new Deluxe door panels, with Deluxe rear panels as well.
new door handles inside and out, along with brand new seat belts.
brand new rebuilt front end along with new tubular A arms, and brand new 1" 1/4 sway bar, and new shocks.
new front lowering springs are from HOTCHKIS , which lowered it 2".
new motion sensor stereo head unit with small video screen.
i had this system tuned to play LOUD rock 'n' roll and it does just that!! CRISP and LOUD !!
electric trunk release with release button inside the glove box . Ignition box also in glove box.
new GRANT carbon fiber steering wheel. Horn not hooked up.
custom center console from a 67 impala SS that i customized myself which has hydro dipped carbon fiber inserts.
the engine is a multi-port fuel injection from F.A.S.T and its awesome!! You can tune the car with the handheld!
center console needs the carpet in the [glove box] area, just haven't done it .
new air conditioning from VINTAGE AIR and it blows COLD !
MARCH serpentine pulleys.
crank case evacuation pump.
polished water pump.
custom intake manifold. I had BUTLER PERFORMANCE send me the intake and i had it professionally hydro dipped! Looks AWESOME!!
needs a better looking top radiator hose, just didn't get to it. Its just a stock hose and looks cheap compared to everything else.
brand new CHAMPION aluminum 3 core radiator with 2- 10" electric fans .
NEED TO GET BIGGER AND BETTER RADIATOR !!!! This radiator works fine for a 400 hp engine but not so well for 600 plus .
The problem with this radiator is that it only has 1/2" cores . It needs 1" cores . I talked to Rodney and he said
he'd like to see the engine run under 200 degrees, this radiator makes it run around 210 to 215 which isn't hot by any means,
but with as much money that was spent on this, it needs to be the buyers FIRST PRIORITY!!! I was told by a nearby
radiator shop that the CHAMPION radiators are known for having 1/2 inch cores [I didn't know}, I figured a 3 core radiator would
be fine, but he said he has people all the time that come in with the same problem. Easy fix!! Just get a bad a** radiator to match this bad a** car!!
This engine was built with reliability first and foremost as I wanted an engine that could handle HOT ROD POWER TOURS.
I can email anyone the build sheet along with the three dyno pulls. The build sheet has every item and price of each and every thing done.
This engine is no joke!! It gets down to business FAST!! REV limiter can be adjusted from the handheld inside the car. Actually,
everything is adjusted from the handheld device even the idle!
The condenser for the air condition is currently off the car, I took it off earlier to see if the car would run a little cooler
but it didn't change anything.. I'll try to bolt it back if car sells, then the system will just need to be charged again, no big deal
its really easy to get to.
And one more thing, when I was cutting through the carpet to bolt the seats down, I accidentally cut through the RCA cable
going to the sub amp. I called the place that installed it and they said that the RCA cost about 35 bucks with about 40 bucks labor
if the car sells, and the place has time, I'll get it fixed or just take off 100 bucks if you want to take care of it yourself.
You'll just have to let me know.
I'm sure I'm missing some things,so if you have any questions please call me at 1-417-576-0275
no low ballers ! Please don't waste your time or mine ! The car is for sale well below the money i have put into it.
NO TRADES OF ANY KIND! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY AS THE CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY!!!
Thanks and happy bidding !! Please note that I have included three pictures that show minor paint damage one is on the upper drivers side door & the other two paint cracks are on the drivers quarter panel that any body shop could fix.... Also I am having new door hinges installed this week!!

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.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
