1970 Gto 455ho #64 Cylinder Heads. Pontiac 455. on 2040-parts.com
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
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.

Concept Car of the Week: Ford Forty-Nine (2001)
Fri, 03 May 2013Over 1.3 million orders were placed for the 1949 Ford before it even went officially on sale. The revolutionary post-war design with slick slab sides and semi-covered wheels became a symbol of American optimism. "The inspiration for the Forty-Nine concept comes from the passion and excitement of the original, combined with the imagination of people across America who customized the car and turned it into what they thought a really great car should be," said J Mays, Ford's vice president of Design at the unveiling of the retro-futurist coupe back in 2001.

Jaguar C-X75 reveal LIVE on Cars UK
Wed, 29 Sep 2010The Jaguar C-X75 will get the family nose On Sunday we reported that Jaguar would be taking a surprise concept along to Paris – the Jaguar C-X75 Concept – which is said to point the way to the future of Jaguar design. But is that the future of Jaguar design per se, or is it the future of Jaguar design for ‘Sports’ cars? We tend to the latter view, and are expecting to see a sports car that loses the traditional E-Type oval grill and is instead treated to a rhinoplasty which evokes the XJ nose.
