1938 Pontiac Sports Coupe Street Drag Hot Rat Rod Custom Steel Business Chevy on 2040-cars
Akron, Ohio, United States
|
I have for sale a very special 1938 Pontiac 8 Cylinder Sports Coupe. The Sports Coupe was an expensive and rare model, a step above the Business coupe. As an 8 Cylinder model car it features a longer, more distinctive front end from the factory to accommodate the larger engine. The car benefits from this added length by having a sleeker design as well as allowing for a wide range of engine options. There is enough room to accommodate almost any size engine. With the side curtains off this car "advertises" an engine better than any car I have ever seen. You can also leave them on to keep it a mystery. Looks great both ways. I have owned this car for 23 years. It is an all steel body. 7 years ago the car was rebuilt with an upgraded rear end and compete chassis to its current "pro-street" setup. It only has approximately 1000 miles on the new build. I commissioned a local race car builder for a setup to handle 1000HP. It now has a bulletproof Ford 9in with Richmond gears, Detroit Locker posi, Moser axles, QA1 adjustable coilover suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, aluminum drive shaft, fuel cell, Weld Prostar alloy wheels and Mickey Thompson Radials(22" wide Steamrollers in the back!). Modern front end was also completely rebuilt when the rear was done; all brand new control arm bushings, ball joints, steering parts, etc... Car looks incredible in person, a true head-turner. Car was never raced, just had fun going to local cruise-ins on the weekends with the family. I have many original extra parts that go with it too. I like the barebones/ratrod/racer look, but I do have all the original bumpers, trim, etc... if you want to dress it back up. Please see the pics for all the extra parts I am including with the car. Car currently has Chevy Small Block 350/350 Automatic drivetrain. I have available for purchase a never started 355 SBC 12:1 Dart Head street/race motor I was going to install in it, but never got around to it. I will make it available to the purchaser of the car should you want to include it as a package deal. I have new short shocks for the car that need installed. They replace the current ones that are 1" too long with a set that are the perfect length for the new setup. Title is clean and clear, ready for new owner. I have all service history in a large folder including the major rebuild and wheels, tires, etc... I can meet at local airports or bus terminal or can help arrange shipping options. Please send me a message if you have any questions or if you wish to schedule an appointment to view the car. Thank you MORE PICS(click on them to enlarge):

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
