This auction is for a 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible 400 4-speed car. Originally a 326 car that now has a non-original 1967 Pontiac 400 engine (code YD) installed. The Muncie 4-speed transmission and 3.23 dual traction bar rear axle are original to the car. The car runs and drives well, but should be considered a project car. The body retains its solid rust free original floors, trunk pan (with original splatter paint), quarter panels and doors. The paint is old, worn, chipped and scratched. The passenger door has a large shallow dent, the passenger fender has three holes drilled for a mirror and the rear tail panel has a trailer plug installed (see photos). The door jams and the underside of the trunk lid still retail the factory applied white paint. All four cocktail shakers are still on the car. The manual top is torn and will need replacing. The car has new brakes (drum) and wheel cylinders, new tires with 14x6 rally ll wheels, new battery and cables, new fuel pump, new heater core and water pump, new stock exhaust system, new clutch and rebuilt stock 1967 4-speed quadrajet carburetor. The motor runs well with good oil pressure and does not smoke or leak oil, but has a faint knocking sound that comes and goes. The lifters also clatter for a few seconds after the car sits for a few days. When I purchased the car I was told the engine had at one time been rebuilt, but I have no receipts. The transmission shifts smoothly and has a Hurst shifter installed. The rear axle has the factory dual traction bars and operates quietly. The engine and engine compartment have been nicely painted and detailed. The car is equipped with black deluxe interior, factory wood wheel and new carpets have been installed. The driver’s seat bottom is torn and the dash has a 1/2 ” hole drilled under the headlight switch. The original AM radio works and the speaker has been re-coned. Everything on the car such as the lights, gauges, horn, wipers and heater work. The car was originally sold in Rhode Island and appears from some old receipts moved to Texas in early 1970. The car has been in California since the mid-seventies. I have the original protect-o-plate, owner’s manual and body broadcast sheet. This is a solid smooth running and driving project car. It won’t need floors or quarter panels installed. You can drive it as you work to improve its condition. This 47 year old car is sold with no warranties expressed or implied. I have done my best to accurately describe this car. The reserve price is fairly set and I will not reveal it, so no emails asking about what my reserve price is. The car is available for inspection before the auction ends. The time to inspect is before the auction ends, not after you purchase the car. Please only bid if you intend to purchase the car.
On May-30-14 at 10:00:32 PDT, seller added the following information: I've received several requests for a Buy-It- Now price. I've decided to let the auction run it's course. The car will sell to the highest bidder. Thanks |

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
Florida man runs down bikers in traffic
Tue, May 31 2016A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
