 | 1332.1984 IRM Pontiac FieroHere's the text from the eBay ad:
Vehicle Description
Attention collectors, this Fiero was the first fastback body produced by International Research Motorsports of Gaithersburg, MD. and was displayed at SEMA and many Fiero Club and POCI events in the mid 1980’s. This car sat in a warehouse from 1990’s until late 2005 and has 20,600 original miles on it. I was told by the owner of IRM that it was a turbo project done in conjunction with Pontiac Motor Sports however they never could calibrate the computer to make it work before the project was canceled, we have removed the turbo, it will come with the car. We replaced the fluids and fuel and exhaust systems in the car and it started right up and runs excellent though it is burning a little rich (advanced timing for the turbo???). The transmission shifts smooth. The A/C needs to be charged. The car has the custom IRM suspension system and sits lower to the ground than a stock Fiero this car really hugs the road. The exterior paint shines bright however there are chips in the paint, from 5’ it is excellent. The t-tops work though the driver’s side lock is broken. The interior is excellent with the exception of the headliner there is some small bubbling easily fixed with 3M spray adhesive. The seats are excellent with no tears and speakers are in the headrest and sound excellent. The carpet is like new as well as the dashboard. This car has 2.5L 4 cylinders, automatic transmission, tilt steering, power mirrors, power windows, power locks, T-Tops C/D player and the list goes on. In addition to the car we are including the original turbo, turbo install manual, body install manual, shock adjusting tool, Tee-top manual and all four slotted and drilled rotors (the original rotors are perfect). This car is sold as is where is. Buyer responsible for pick-up or shipping cost, we will work with shipper. The car is located in New Market MD 21774. Car must be picked up within 14 days of auction. Payment within 5 days of auction Certified check or cash. The title will be released after funds are in the bank. This is a very nice Fiero with a lot of history. Sorry for the old pictures could not down load the new ones, the car is in the same condition it has remained in the garage driven only to inspections. | |

 | 1348.2005 London to Maranello and Back V2This assembles in one place, half of the stories published back in 2005 and 2006, of my trip from London to Maranello and back in a Ford GT and a Dodge Viper. It was, as I have said so many times, the greatest week in my life. Everyone should have one week in their life that is as perfect as this one was for me. I feel very fortunate for having all the stars align and to Ford's former head of European Public Affairs for making it possible.
As great as being able to produce all of these print features, I believe that the best version was the one I did six years later for my website AutomotiveTraveler.com. I invite you to view that version at http://bit.ly/ATVol3Iss5Cover. I hope that you will enjoy reading that account and will leave comments on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/richard.truesdell.3). | |

 | 1356.1966 Rambler American WagonThank you for checking out the 1966 AMC Rambler American 440 station wagon and 1978 AMC Concord hatchback parts car.THe selling price for the 1966 station wagon is $2200, the price of the 1978 Concord parts car is $300.
Have you ever you ever thought about building an SC/Rambler Phantom station wagon?
I did but just don’t have time to get the project done from scratch so I’m selling as a package a very clean, rust-free, recently painted (in 2004) 1966 Rambler American 440 station wagon, (indicated mileage shows <47,000 miles, and while things like pedal wear would seem to indicate that this might be correct, it's best to assume that the mileage is <147,000 miles), 232 6-cylinder currently equipped with cold factory air. The carb and transmission will need attention -- contact me for the details -- along with a 1978 AMC Concord V8 hatchback parts donor car (all small AMCs, Americans, Javelins, AMXs, Hornets, Gremlins, Concords and Spirits are directly related mechanically and structurally). My idea was simple, swap out the 232 six and crossmember in the 1966 American, swap in the 304 V8 and 3-speed automatic combination out of the Concord, install the disc brakes from the Concord and finish up the car in B-scheme SC/Rambler trim. Which is in a way what I ultimately did when I found a 290 '69 440 wagon locally in Pasadena, which I bought for $4500. After adding the necessary wheels and B-scheme stripe, you can see the potential of what I am offering here for less than half the price (and when done you'll end up with a more modern drivetrain and probably front disc brakes as well, which bolt right in). I've added a photo of my '69 SC/Rambler one-of-none phantom, which never fails to attract positive attention at shows, basically since so few people know anything about AMCs that they don't realize that it wasn't factory-built. Please contact me at autotronic@aol.com for additional details. I will be happy to answer any and all questions. | |
