1930 Ford 5 Window Coupe Street Rod Classic Car for Sale in MI Vanguard Motor Sales
http://www.ClassicCarBuyingSecrets.com Click now for an instant download on "How to Avoid the 7 Deadliest Mistakes of Buying a Classic Car Online"!
Hot rods are all about components and pedigree. Take a good, long look at this all steel 1930 Ford 5 window coupe and you'll see a pro-built rod with a ton of high-end parts and custom fabrication. It is most definitely one of the most beautifully finished rods we've ever featured. And with a 350 Chevy small block under the hood, performance is stunning, with acceleration that will pull your hair out by the roots.
This 1930 was built from a genuine all-steel Model A, in 2002 by a gentleman in Ohio. He owned the car for six years before selling it to its second owner, who also lived in Ohio. Vanguard Motor Sales purchased the car from its second owner, and we can't wait to make you the third owner of this stunning work of automotive art.
This all steel body is finished in a beautiful shade of peach/orange paint by PPG (Deltron 2000 DBC/DBI). The cream colored custom pinstriping is a nice touch, and very well done. The fit and finish on this '30 is beautiful. Everything from the door latches to the pop-out window, the fenders to the running boards and all of the lips, it is just stunning. The top is un-chopped, so there is a ton of headroom inside. The grille is from a 1932, and the rear bumper is off a 1948 Chevy. Special features include a third brake light in the license plate holder for safety, custom gas tank to allow trunk room, wind wings, dual mirrors and a custom made vent built into the old gas cap (I have never seen this done, what a great idea)! The end result is most certainly show-winning in every way.
The small block 350 Chevy V8 motor runs and drives awesome. The list of quality components in the power plant is Exhaustive, including Summit aluminum heads, block hugger jet-coated headers, a Weber carb, HEI distributor, polished Edelbrock intake and boots on the spark plug wires to keep the heat out. The motor compartment in this street rod is near blinding thanks to the super higly polished valve covers, chrome alternator, polished air cleaner, chrome fuel pump, chrome timing chain cover and aluminum pulleys on the chrome water pump. Check out the custom billet filler panels, which were milled by the builder, they have been fluted to match the contours of the compartment and painted to match the body. The paint job on the firewall is just as nice as the top of the fenders. Under the hood you will see the built in hood props and suicide custom hood latches. No expense was spared under the hood!
The undercarriage has been completed to "show" condition. The Brookville Roadster Chassis was professionally built and a beefy Ford 8" open rear end with 3:55 gears puts the power to the ground. Check out that cast aluminum cover on that rear end. The details underneath this car are incredible. The polished aluminum Exhaust system is hung with custom Billet hangers, the stainless Exhaust tips and has chrome Glass Pack mufflers. Out back you will find drum brakes, coil over shocks, a chrome 4-link system and a chrome Panard bar. The tig welding on the rear end brackets and frame is professionally done. In the middle of the undercarriage you will see the custom drive shaft, parking brake cable, proportioning valve for the back brakes and the Corvette master cylinder for the power brakes. The 700R4 overdrive trans has a chrome pan, there is a chrome cover on the torque converter and the oil pan is chrome as well. Take a look at that front end. The list of chrome components is a mile long, including the harmonic balancer, front axle, springs, shocks, hair-pins, and bumperettes. The steering gear is polished stainless steel, as are the braded lines for the front disc brakes. Polished aluminum American Racing wheels and Daytona SR tires (2/35/70/16 rear and 1/95/60/15 fronts) sit at all four corners. No expense was spared when this Ford was built.
Documentation includes photos of the build, and a binder with every receipt and a log of everything that has been done to the car in the last ten years.

Triple Black Attack: 1970 440 6-Pack 'Cuda - BIG MUSCLE
Each and every muscle car enthusiast has that one experience that has helped define the way in which they view the automobile. For Northern California's John Cross that experience came by way of riding in the back of his cousins 1970 440 6-Pack Plymouth 'Cuda when he was a kid. It was a car that provided him with memories, stories and of course, a goal - that being, to one day own the very car which got his engine running all those years ago. It's now 2012, 42 years after that first faithful ride in the very 'Cuda you're about to see. This time however it resides in John's garage, not his cousins, which can mean only one thing... Sometimes dreams do come true.
1967 Chevy Camaro 572 Classic Muscle Car for Sale in MI Vanguard Motor Sales
http://www.ClassicCarBuyingSecrets.com Click now for an instant download on "How to Avoid the 7 Deadliest Mistakes of Buying a Classic Car Online"!
Pro-touring is one of the fastest-growing segments in the muscle car hobby today. For those of you not familiar with the concept, pro-touring embraces taking a vintage muscle car and upgrading its mechanicals so that it can brake, corner, and accelerate like a modern sports car, and still maintain creature comforts we take for granted in our new cars. Essentially, a pro-touring car is the best of all worlds: looks, comfort, and performance.
This '67 Camaro is an outstanding example of the pro-touring concept. It retains the timeless good looks of the first-year Chevy pony car and updates the 40-year-old mechanicals with 21st century performance. Every aspect of the car has been honed and polished, from the 572 cubic-inch big block under the hood to the killer sound system. There's so much work in this car that it would take days to describe all of it. I'll try to cover the major items, but until you see this car in the flesh, you won't be able to fully appreciate how truly spectacular it is.
The first thing you notice is how slick and smooth it looks. That early Camaro shape is about as timeless as you can get, and this car shows you why. The beautiful orange paint with flat black stripes puts quite a glow on that shapely vintage sheet-metal. The body panels on this car are straight, rust free and have a beautiful fit. The undercarriage is no exception, you will find it the same condition as the body, super solid and rust free.
Pro-touring isn't merely about big wheels and low-profile tires, it's about getting a combination that delivers sports car levels of performance and still looks killer on the car. Because pro-touring is about making the car work better, this Camaro was given 4 wheel drilled/slotted power disc brakes, and a 3:36 posi rear end. The Boyd Codington wheels are paired up with Nitto tires, and you're going to need all that tire, too. Under the steel hood are 572 cubic inches of GM big block power. Rated at 620 horsepower, this Camaro absolutely screams. The entire engine is highly detailed, and features a BeCool radiator, Billett pulleys, 2 ΒΌ ceramic coated Dynatec headers, a Demon carb and HEI ignition. People line up 3 deep to get a look at this engine compartment. Lots of go, lots of show.
You need to be fast with the shifter on top of the M20 manual 4 speed transmission, because 1st gear is over before you can get your foot on the floor, the tires are going up in smoke, and the car is lunging ahead. Go ahead and power-shift second; the Hurst shifter makes it easy to find the right slot. By the time you're in third, you're grinning like a mental patient and the car is closing in on triple digits. Not even the hairiest Camaros of the '60s -- Yenkos, COPOs, whatever -- were this scary fast, and none did it with so much control. Pro-touring is still all about speed, but it's also about precision, and this car has both bases completely covered.
No car can be respectfully called pro-touring without an interior upgrade, and this car showcases what can be done with a little imagination and a lot of cash. The front seats are new buckets, and the rear bench was made to match. The dash is full of Autometer Ultra-Lite gauges behind a Grant wheel. You will also find a Clarion receiver hooked up to a Clarion CD changer in the trunk. All of the sound comes through a trunk mounted Kicker amplifier and subwoofers, with Kicker speakers mounted in the door panels.
So if people want to talk pro-touring, use this car as your guide to how to do it right. It's about the total package and reengineering every system in the car to make it accelerate quicker, turn sharper, stop harder, and do it all while being more comfortable to drive than any stock muscle car ever could be. Judging by the amount of work on this car and its incredible performance, there's just no way you could build this car yourself for what we're asking. The fact that someone else has already made the investment and done the heavy lifting for you means all you have to do is come and drive it. I guarantee that's all you need. Give me a call today 248-974-9513

133298 / 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX
For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/dybj4vm
This 1967 GTX is a super clean, near-survivor 4-speed car with 99% of its original parts. Present is the original fender tag, original distributor tag, original seat tags and all original sheet-metal.
Understanding that we had a 100% correct, complete numbers-matching car, we decided to send the original engine, transmission and air cleaner off to Shepard's Automotive. In case you've never heard of Shepard's, they were founded by Larry Shepard, Sr., an engineer at Chrysler Corporation in the 1960s, who worked under Tom Hoover (the Godfather of the HEMI at Chrysler when they rolled out the street HEMI in 1966). Larry was later an engineer at Mopar Performance and has literally written the book on Mopar performance engines (in fact, I think he's written five or six). With an impressive bank of NOS and original parts and an even more impressive knowledge base, there was nobody out there better suited to restore the drive-train in our GTX.
With the doors, fenders, deck lid and hood removed, the entire body was placed on a rotisserie and sent off for dipping and e-coating. After the body was returned to our shop, we completed the metal work quickly, which was limited to a few small patches in the lower driver's side quarter panel. Because we replicated the original factory welds, you wouldn't know that the work was done if we didn't tell you. As we learned when we received the body shell back from the dip shop, the original floor pans, trunk floor and floor pans were perfect, with no prior rot or rust.
With the metal work complete, the car was primed, block-sanded, block-sanded some more and then block-sanded again for good measure and then painted in base coat/clear coat. Only after the base paint and clear coat were applied was the Medium Red Metallic sport stripes painted on, exactly the way it was done on the assembly line. If you ever see a restored 1967 GTX with the painted stripes flush with the base color, it's WRONG. On the underside, our restoration shop replicated the factory primer processes, complete with blown overspray.
After the drivetrain was properly bolted into place, our shop installed the original and now restored Dana 60 rear axle and restored rear suspension. We installed brand new stainless fuel lines, brake lines, brake hoses, grommets, weather-stripping and gaskets. A new fuel tank was bolted into place, and a complete, reproduction concours HEMI Exhaust handles the soundtrack. The entire braking system was reinstalled, using a combination of restored original and replacement parts. After the front suspension was in place, the restored and extremely hard to find 1967-only HEMI steel wheels were bolted up to the car, complete with four brand new reproduction redline tires. Finishing off the restored rolling stock were the four original, restored HEMI-only dog dish caps.
Turning our attention to the interior, our in-house interior expert Ralph Farinacci went to work. The front and rear seats and most of the interior parts had been finished by Ralph over the prior three months and simply needed to be installed. Ralph is a big believer in using original parts, right down to original screws and that's how he approached the restoration of the interior on this GTX. Of course, there are new door panels and vinyl seat covers, but every other piece is original to the car. The original dash pad was restored, along with the original gauge cluster. The original steering wheel was expertly refinished to better-than-new condition. Small touches like original restored kick panels and an original rear seat speaker set this car apart from the "catalog restorations" we see so often. 1967 GTXs have boatloads of interior chrome and every single piece was redone to concours standards.
Since the restoration was completed, this amazing GTX has been gently and carefully broken in and dialed in and is a true investment grade car which can be enjoyed on summer nights or rolled off a trailer at any concourse event. We all have our ultimate cars-if the 1967 HEMI GTX is yours, you can't do much better than this one!
The Last HEMI - Segment 1- The Journey Begins
In 1978, a 14 year old boy on his bicycle noticed the back end of a '71 Charger R/T sticking out of a garage. The HEMI badges were gone but, being the son of a racer, he saw the black body stripes and knew there was something special about the car.
After getting some pointers from his dad, the boy snuck in and popped the hood. Sure enough, there was a 426 HEMI under there.
The journey was officially underway.
After some door to door detective work, the boy found the owner and made initial contact. Though the Charger wasn't for sale, it was an important first step. For most of the next decade, the boy would periodically check in to see if the car was available, even offering to trade a clean 440 Charger at one point. The owner simply wouldn't budge.
By the 1990s, the boy, now in his mid-twenties, had bought and sold several vintage Mopars but he'd never forgotten the Charger in his hometown. Through a chance encounter at a garage sale, he found out the Dodge was finally for sale. The owner had turned several buyers away but welcomed the boy, remembering the years of calls and attempts to buy the car. A price was agreed upon and the Charger finally came home.
Throughout the early 1990s, the car was shown in its unrestored state while awaiting its turn to be rebuilt. This thing was a monster on the show circuit. Luckily we have some photos as proof!
While going through the car, he located TWO broadcast sheets that were found fully intact.
It showed a build date of June 18th, 1971 -- nearly 2 weeks after any other HEMI car on record. After months of research, the boy was proven correct for believing there was something special about the car back in 1978. It was the final HEMI car ever produced.
Though there were already plans to restore the Charger, this new information upped the ante considerably. The owner got in touch with the team at RKM Performance Center and, together, it was decided to go all in. Go ahead and bookmark the page or visit TheLastHEMI.com. This is a restoration you won't want to miss.
