This s an original Buccaneer Red 4speed trans am with a newly installed 385 c.i. Stroker engine ( with receipts ordered a 383 but actually is a 385 ) and is an original 4 speed car .  Car has 194 Vortec heads , Edelbrock   intake , carb , and fuel pump , Scatter shield , MSD 6AL with 6000rpm limiter chip , flex fan , header with full length exhaust , etc. All less then 100 miles just done last month .  It runs and drives very well , has great power band throughout the gears and motor is just breaking in . Also all fluids have been changed 3X ans all additives  ( zinc ) have been applied . The interior was done at a cost of over $7000 including all new seats/foam with custom work done in Carbon fiber finish and looks better in person than in pictures . Also all the plastics were replaced including the rear quarter plastics , headliner  , lower door panels , all misc trim . The body is in very good shape and has some very small amounts of "bubbling " in the paint on the very lower portions of the rear quarter panels and one edge of the rear bumper where meets the quarter panel on the passenger side ( As I recall ) but gives a very nice overall appearance  even up close . It is a 40 year old car but is a solid car with a great sub frame and original floors , solid trunk , very good original seam seals on bottom of both doors , solid inner panels as to rust where typical rust occurs like trunk deck lid surround and door jambs even though it is and always was a NY car .The panel just below the front header panel ( about an inch wide running the length of lower header panel is black and cracking $140.00 to replace ) . All the lights , turn signals , wipers  blower fan , horn , etc all work properly and car is a great daily driver .I originally purchased this car over 20 years ago from the original owner and sold it to my Cousin who blew a head gasket and then several years later sold it back to me. I have an original 400 c.i. trans am motor with the 6X heads at a machine shop and will be included in the sale if car is sold . Just needs a few things ( heater core /no radio /needs a fan shroud although never gets past 170 on temp ) . Also has aftermarket gauges on dash ( not by me ) and they all do work , oil pressure @ 75-80 on cold start then 35-40 ,  temp runs cool # 165-170 , charges well , tach idles low @ 750 rpm and sounds great , just a lot of fun . I can be reached @ 516-467-6890 . Car is listed locally for sale @ $13,500 . I have more then that into it without the purchase price . Very fair price very nice car .

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

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.

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.
