1970 Firebird "Mobile Closing Unit" - Lateral-g Forums

tcronkright · #1 02-25-2010, 06:27 PM

As a new member to this community I am excited to introduce a project I am working on in connection with the guys at All Speed Performance in Muskegon, Michigan. My first car was a 1970 Firebird that I was forced to sell shortly after receiving my license due to excessive speeding. I was so fond of that car that I decided to purchase another one as a “restoration project”. Well, like most projects of this nature, it has taken a life of its own and this hobby-turned-obsession is in the build stage and will be on its way to SEMA in November.

Kris Horton spent countless hours on the rendering bringing this vision to life. Some of body modifications include a custom chin spoiler, rocker skirts, enlarged functioning hood snorkels, functioning fender vents, recessed roof and trunk lid, integrated spoiler, rear valance with diffuser and widened front and rear fenders. For performance, we are started with a custom Pontiac 400 block, punched it to 475 cu in. and are adding hi-flow Kauffman aluminum heads, twin turbos and custom pistons. In true Pontiac style, we had a fuel injected six pack intake made and are in the process of milling a custom billet hat for the throttle bodies. I will include a full build sheet for everyone to see.

The car is named “Mobile Closing Unit” as it will contain a mobile office in the trunk. I plan to use this car as a promotional tool to conduct mobile closings on real estate transactions. Interestingly, the car will be covered by a patent that is pending on the technology and process. We currently use the Ford Transit Connect vehicles for this purpose so this will be a nice addition to the fleet.

The guys at All Speed Performance are working tirelessly on this build and are shooting for a June 30 completion date.

I welcome any thoughts and comments and will keep posting pictures on a weekly basis.

Thanks!

Looks like a great project.

Maybe you could call it the Foreclosure Express, LOL
