TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just too hard for both of us! The rest of the information is boring unless you are really interested in buying the vehicle, its just buying details like shipping, paperwork, who I am, where the car is located and how to pay and contact information.
ENGINE: The car was born with a 400 engine it now has a very strong 455 cubic inch. The engine was built by Kramer & Kramer, they are performance builders from the Cincinnati, Ohio area. I have a receipt for part of the work, its for $4,700. The engine has aluminum Edelbrock heads, aluminum intake, the rods are by Eagle, the carburetor is a dual line Holley, the cam has a nice loop to it. the ignition is now has a MSD box, it is causing problems, I have a new high energy distributor order, should be here Monday. Its a good engine, but not the original.
TRANSMISSION: Its a Turbo 350 3 speed automatic, it works good with no slip. Its suppose to be built stronger, but I have no documentation.
EXHAUST: Full tube headers (not coated), big pipes, the mufflers look like Flow Master to me. The exhaust sounds just right to me, it has the deep/loud Muscle Car Sound.
REAREND: It a 10 bolt with no grinds or growls, I have not checked the ratio, but its a good highway gearing, it not real low.
INTERIOR: Good interior, the headliner is good, the carpet and seat look good, the front seats look like they have been redone. 1 little crack on the dash and 1 rear seat area ash try cover missing, the package tray area is faded.
T TOPS: The glass is clear and in good condition, the rubber weather stripping is decent. The T Top covers are still in the trunk.
GLASS: Decent glass, its not milky or cracked, the side windows roll up and down decent. Drivers window has minor scuffs from going up and down of the years.
BODY: No rust issues, no rusted holes and I did not see even 1 bubble. The underside is solid, but not detailed, it has some rusty color metal, but its solid. Its a real good body!
PAINT: Old and weak, I know the pictures make it look great, but its not. Past owner said most of it was the original paint, including the decals. Lots of scuffs and marks on the paint and 3 or 4 little dings. Sorry, but its hard to get perfect paint, great mechanical and a solid body for this price.
BRAKES: Good, they are power assisted, disc in front. The parking brake cable and linkage all looks to be in place, but the inside release is missing.
STEERING: The car drives good, it is power steering.
WHEELS AND TIRES: The wheels are original Pontiac Honey Comb, they are good, but if I painted the car I would redo them. The tires have good tread.
LIGHTS: I think they are work, even the interior dome light.
GAUGES: They work, even the tach.
SPEEDOMETER IS WORKING, HORN IS NOT WORKING.
This was and original Air Conditioned car, the parts from the firewall forward are gone. The hood cable is hard too pull, it opens good enough, but you have to push it back in, I lubed it and hope it will get better. cell 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com
<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I DO NOT SHOW CAR ON SUNDAY>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
PAPERWORK: I know what to do! We are just a father/son 2 man operation, but we are a THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION, THIS IS A FIXED PRICE LISTING: I reserve the right to stop the listing at any time and sale the car “come look”. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED: The car is here at my garage in US OR EXPORT “I like Nations Auto Transport. They are located in Contact: Jim Page his office number is 816-295-6887 and his email is jpage@shipnat.com
MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car. I will take paypal for the deposit, but not for full payment. Option 1: Pay the old school way face to face. Option 2: Pay by check, I will wait till the check clears, I have had a fake bank certified check. Option 3: The safest is to let our banks handle it, my bank is a member of the transfer. And its safe for both of us. WILL I HOLD THE CAR UNTIL YOU GET HERE TO LOOK OR HAVE IT INSPECTED? Its good business for both of us the take a deposit. A $250 deposit locks it in for you! I have held too many cars that people promise me they are going to buy and they never show up, their wife won’t let them buy it, they can’t get a loan or they just back out. Before you drive or fly a long distance you need to make sure the car is not sold. “The way I look at it is until you pay a deposit you’re just looking and dreaming”. INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car as I see it as a 66 year old car restorer, please come and judge it for your self. I judge the car to my standards, this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are unpredictable, you might get a good one, but some of them do not impress me at all, they can make a good car sound bad on the report. They have to be very critical to cover their back sides and all their concerned about is getting paid. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking, but I think you should come look yourself. I don’t like paid inspectors, I like for the person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you. To make it clear, don’t hit the buy now button and then inspect, come inspect first! BOTTOM LINE: Sorry, but my firm price is $13,800 I'm asking more on the local market. The game is not rocket science, ask a price and come down. It’s not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. My firm price is the Buy Now price. I have sold every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained down. Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info. Thank You, Ron Watson cell: 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com
I am very careful about taking payment, I have had a fake certified check, it looked real and the buyer seemed real. I will take one, but I will check you out. I am ebay varified, that means you can buy ebays buyer protection plan and they will guarantee thats I'm real, they will not guarantee the car.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If 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 Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
