This first year 1967 Firebird Convertible is an older restoration that has held up nicely. It has great driving manners and has that original high performance feel. It has not been hacked up, and retains the appeal of a factory stock type car.The body, frame rails and floors are totally solid. This car would appeal to someone who would like to drive it immediately as is, or take it to the nest level with new paint.
Mechanically, this car performs great. The engine pulls strongly, does not smoke, and the 4 speed shifts smoothly. It is a very smooth and easy car to drive, no bad habits. The power drum brake system works great, and the power steering feels tight. I drive the car regularly (it is one of my favorites in the shop), and would drive it with confidence anywhere. -The body is solid with no rust. -Solid floors, and frame rails. The car was undercoated, and is dirty underneath with some surface scale in places, but there is no rot anywhere. The rockers and pinch welds are in great shape and original. -The panel fit is very good, and the overall condition of the body is excellent, not a bondo car. -The paint is old, probably 12 years. It has micro cracks, chips, and defects consistent with an older restoration that has been driven. Please don’t buy this car and complain about the paint, the pictures make it look better than it is. I have no trouble driving this car with pride, and a new paintjob would be very easy as the body is nice and straight. -The paint code “Q” is Verdoro Green, now Maroon Metallic. -Has a brand new manual Convertible top, pads, and seals. -Could use new door seals as they are dry. -All glass in very good condition, side glass goes up and down real smoothly and is nicely aligned. -Trim is all present and of good quality. -Trunk is in very good condition, no rust, has spare tire, mat, cocktail shakers, and jack. -The 350ci “YN” code engine is from a 1968 Firebird, and has the 4 bbl carb setup. I have driven this car, and a 400ci car, and I can’t tell the difference from a performance standpoint (the 400 only has 5 more HP). -It starts quickly, idles smoothly, and pulls right up to redline. –Power Steering and Factory Power Brakes. -400 series hood. -The rear differential has the factory traction bars (all V8 Firebirds had this). -The 4 speed transmission shifts smoothly, and the clutch take up is gentle. - Dual Exhaust with headers. -New 205/70/14 BFG radial tires. -New PMD Rally wheels and trim rings. Interior: -Factory Console. Owner’s manual in glove box. -Dash in excellent condition. -Original 3 spoke “Energy Absorbing” Pontiac steering wheel. -All gauges and horn work fine. -Interior seems mostly original and in very good condition. -Newer Carpets -Drivers seat has a small defect, see pictures. -Original Delco AM radio still works fine. -2 speed wipers, interior lights, 3 speed blower fan all work great.

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
The last Pontiac Fiero sold for $90,000 at auction
Thu, Dec 3 2020On August 16, 1988 the last Pontiac Fiero, a red GT model, rolled off the assembly line at GM's Pontiac Assembly plant located in Pontiac, Michigan. It wasn't just the final Fiero, but the final car to be built at that site. The car was raffled off to one of 1,400 plant employees that would soon have to find jobs elsewhere. Whoever that employee was, they remained faithful to the Fiero and kept it in mint condition for 32 years. Last month, it was finally time to move on. It crossed the block at GAA Auctions in Greensboro, North Carolina where it sold for an astounding $90,000. According to the auction house, that's a new world record. The price no doubt reflected the car's place in history as the last example of GM's 1980s mid-engined sports car. However, it was also showroom-new, with just 582 miles clocked on its 2.8-liter V6. 1988 models were also fitted with an upgraded, Lotus-esque suspension produced for just that one year. In addition, this car, serial number 226402, came with its original build sheet, photos from the assembly line, and a collection of news articles and books. It still wore its pre-delivery plastic on the interior and was fully loaded with automatic transmission. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car's custodian for the past 32 years must be pleased. Bidding started at $25,000 but soon rocketed past the $65,000 reserve. You can see the action starting at the 2:50:13 mark in the video above. The Fiero was symbolic of the 1980s and stood out from the standard GM passenger car fare for its mid-engine layout and plastic body panels. In an era when GM often rebadged cars with minimal differences, the Fiero rode on its own unique chassis. It was positioned as one of the defining products for Pontiac, GM's "excitement" brand, but actual performance never quite lived up to its striking looks. Nevertheless, it garnered a cult following. It's often the basis for (questionable) custom builds mimicking more exotic models like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, thanks to a steel space-frame design that allows body panels to be easily removed. Thankfully, this significant example escaped such a fate and will live on as a reminder of an interesting chapter of automotive history.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
