Condition:Remanufactured

You are bidding on a rare, very rare,  one year only matched set of #64, 1970, 455 HO GTO heads.  These are the only heads that will give you 10.25 compression on any 455.  These were only used one year and only on the GTO and some GP's and I have not seen another pair in many years.  The heads are D-Port design as opposed to the 71-72 round port head which was a 8.2:1 compression head.  These came from a friends car that showed 56,000 miles when he put #3 rod and piston through the block many years ago.  They have been gone through, oiled, bagged and sitting on my shelf for 6 years. Service included: sonic testing, hot tanking, examined for being straight and true but not milled.  They have a new stock valve job.  All the valves except one are original and were in perfect shape, guides knurled, springs tested, new seals, new freeze plugs.  These are real high performance heads for the 455.  They were both cast on Oct. 07, 1969 so they are fairly early and MATCHED.  If you need that special part for your restoration or want to kick your 455 up a few notches without busting the bank, this is your best choice.  Now, I will ship them but you must know that they are heavy and will be expensive.  I will build two boxes to ship them but I was recently hosed badly from UPS.  Understand that to ship them may cost you as much as $300.00 unless you have a better way.  Actual shipping charges will be determined after the sale based on your address.  Just so we all understand, I don't make the rates.  I recently sold a $60.00 part and had to pay $80.00 to ship it, I'm not going through that again.

Porsche 911 Sport Classic introduced

Wed, 02 Sep 2009

Porsche has announced a Limited Edition Porsche 911 that will launch at Frankfurt - The Porsche 911 Sport Classic Porsche has plundered its history to build in to the 911 Sport Classic styling cues from the past. The Sport Classic gets a ‘Duck-Tail’ rear spoiler (thank you, 1973 Carrera RS 2.7) and ‘Fuchs-Style’ alloys (ditto – at least in terms of chronology).  You can also throw in to the mix a double-bubble roof (Carrera GT et al) and black surrounds to the headlights, which is evocative of the 1970s Porsche racers. So having thrown every design cue that fits from its history, what else does the 911 SC get?
