You are looking at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible 326 H.O., 4 bbl, 4spd, dual exhaust, 3;36 posi rear axle. This is an original red exterior, red interior, and ivory top. It is equipped with an original Am radio, p/s, and power disc brakes. The rear axle is suspended by mono leaf rear springs and factory traction bars. The engine runs good, the transmission shifts smooth. This is a very nice driving and handling car. It also looks fantastic. This car was partially restored approximately 15 yrs ago. We bought it 10 yrs ago and have driven it very sparingly only 3000 mi in 10 yrs. The odometer was turned to 0 when the original owner restored it. The odometer shows just a little over 10000 mi. This year we put new carpet and a new ivory convertible top on the car. We also put a little over 1000 mi on it this year driving it to local shows in CO. I originally bought this car for my wife, but she has changed her mind and we are now working on a new project for her.
There is only a couple of things that could be replaced to make this car exceptional. The original owner liked the looks of the 69 dash and console. I do too. He didn't take the time to hook up the heater controls, I haven't bothered with them either because this car doesn't leave the garage in bad weather. The dash pad is cracked on the drivers side but a new red one from Classic Industries comes with the car. The only other problem is the plastic surround between the grille, headlights and bumper on the passenger side has a crack in it. These are available from Classic Industries. I have some paperwork from Pontiac Historic Services that shows all the standard and optional equipment on the car, such as engine, trans, rear axle numbers, interior, exterior.
We are located 40-60 miles from a regional airport, (Montrose or Grand Junction, CO), you can fly in, I will pick you up and you can drive the car home. Or send a transport and I will help them load it. One small detail is that the car needs to be paid for in full before it leaves. Certified funds, cash or bank transfer. Don't ask about the reserve, I wouldn't tell you, after all this is an auction. Any questions about the car should be sent thru Ebay and I will get back to you promptly. Thanks for looking and good luck in your bidding. |

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am
Sun, Jun 28 2015The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.
Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6
Sat, Sep 12 2020What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
