Sorry it’s been a little slow today. Uberbird work and real life and all that getting in the way. Given today’s Hooniverse Asks, this screaming deal of an eBay/Local Classifieds ad seemed apropos. We’ve got a 1970 240z in rough, but generally serviceable shape. If you go for the full price, it also includes a spare [...]

I’m a big fan of GM’s Y-body platform. Why? In an alternate universe, it could’ve been the progenitor of a line of well engineered mid-size sports cars.

eBay is a funny place. Often we’ve found ourselves gawking at great deals, only to watch prices climb exponentially in the last 24 hours or even 24 minutes. Other times we get ourselves all worked up based on the title and pictures, but miss the fine print. such is the case for this ‘65 GTO. [...]
