California car. 76k original miles on the odometer are believed to be accurate.

Vehicle History

The original owner purchased new in 1967. He was from the Mid-West.    He moved to California in 1969 and brought the car with him.  He sold the car in 1983 to the second owner (also Californian) where it remained in his car collection for 30 years. 

Exterior

A recent exterior restoration was completed.  The exterior paint was shot in GM silver using high quality DuPont Chromabase paint.  The body is very straight.   The car sits on show quality powder coated rally II wheels with new center caps and lugs, mounted to Goodyear Eagle ST tires with excellent rubber.   All exterior emblems were replaced, new front and rear bumpers, rocker panels, wheel trim, door handles, driver mirror, front and rear window molding, weather stripping.   Stunning car with perfect stance and presence.

Interior

The dark turquoise deluxe interior was a very rare color option in 1967 and is an outstanding complement to the silver exterior.  The original interior build tags were found under the seats.   

The interior was treated to brand new carpeting, top quality replacement deluxe door panels (Al Knoch), and a re-upholstered original dash pad.  The front and rear seats were reupholstered several years back - they look great with very nice foam.     There is a very small (quarter size) hole in the passenger rear side of the headliner, otherwise the rest of the headliner is in excellent condition.

Undercarriage

The chassis / undercarriage remains in its original stock form with no rust or chassis repair thanks to 45 years on the West coast.   Finding an untouched undercarriage like this is pretty remarkable.   The floor panels and frame rails are outstanding.  The original trunk floor is rust free.  It was treated to a light splatter paint coating and looks outstanding.  The shock towers are perfect.

Mechanical

All gauges, lights, electrics, wipers, horn function properly.  The original AM radio is still in the car and works perfect.  

The original 100% stock 400 engine fires right up easily and runs incredibly strong with plenty of power. Original Quadrajet carburetor.   The TH400 transmission shifts are smooth. The car tracks straight and stops well.   Brand new custom dual exhaust set up with turbo mufflers gives the car an authentic, performance sound.  Super reliable and tight.  The original engine mounts were just replaced.  The front transmission seal was also replaced.

This is a beautiful and rare bird that will definitely win its share of car shows.  Could easily be a Pontiac Nationals caliber Firebird with very minimal effort.  The car is being sold as is and is also offered for sale locally.  I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time.  If you’re looking for a first year authentic Firebird 400, I would not pass this one up.  The car is available for inspection. Private Seller. Please contact me with any questions.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
