 Roger Poirier's 1969 Pontiac GTO is a car that has lived in Roger's family for a long time... several decades, in fact. Today, this super-clean GTO is sporting a fresh restoration and Pro-Touring conversion with upgraded suspension parts, a hot Pontiac V8, and amazing black paint. The interior is red, the wheels are chrome, it all adds up to a car that lacks nothing in execution or style.

 We've been sitting on this 1968 Buick Riviera for a year now, so it's time to get into the project. This video is the first in the series covering the transformation of a big, beat-up old sled into a cool luxo-cruiser. Video number one here takes you through the reasoning why we're building such an oddball car... it's part nostalgia, and partly to see what can be done with an off-brand car. Not everone can have a 1969 Camaro... we're going to show that the oddballs can be cool, and built on a budget.

 Junkyards… or should we say, “Old Parts Goldmines”, are an essential resource when putting an old car back together, and there are some really great yards in the dry climates where the cars never rusted.

 We've finally gotten back into the groove after the hectic SEMA show, so now we're finishig detials left undone before SEMA. Tonight, we installed the SPAL dual 12" electric fans (PN 30102130) and their 185 Fan Relay Harness. The fans pull huge amounts of air, and the innovative shroud has little flappers to allow natrually occuring high-pressure air to flow thorough the radiator core at highway speeds. At low speeds, they close and let the fans do their job. The 185 Fan Harness incorporates a thermal switch to sense the coolant temp and turn the fans on at 185 degrees farenheit, and off again at 165. The power runs through a pair of relays to keep the fans happy. We break away in this video to chat with a SPAL rep at SEMA to learn about what sets SPAL apart from the competition.

 During the L.A. Auto Show, Dodge unveiled its 2008 Viper SRT10 ACR (American Club Racer) – a street-legal racecar. The new Viper features an aluminum V-10 engine that produces 600-horsepower and 560 lb.-ft. of torque. To cut back on the car's weight, Dodge said potential buyers can opt for the "Hard Core" package, which eliminates the audio system, the underhood silencer pad, trunk carpeting and the tire inflator. The 2008 Viper SRT10 ACR is expected to rollout in the second quarter of 2008.

 Terry Nish and the crew from Nish Motorsports have been chasing a long-standing land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Back in 1965, the Sommers Brothers went 425 mph in their 4 Hemi-powered 4-wheel drive streamliner... now the Nish team is trying to beat that world record with the Royal Purple sponsored single engine, 2 wheel drive streamliner. Terry Nish tells us about the 2300 HP 670 Cubic Inch Nitro burning Big Block Chevy currently in the car, and the plans for the 870 cubic inch naturally aspirated gasoline engine to come. They're knocking on the door of that record!
