1968 Pontiac Firebird NO RESERVE

This is being sold as a GREAT project car and needs some work before being driven.
Could be a decent "Fix as you drive" with a little work OR, due to the fact that this car has never been (improperly) restored, has great potential to be MUCH more !!!

Original Verdoro Green paint. Solid body with little rust as shown in the pictures.
Original black seats and interior are very decent shape for age, could use new black carpet and drivers lower door panel is worn if you chose to restore interior.
Still has factory AM radio in the dash!
Very original car EXCEPT that a previous owner swapped out the original engine with what we were told was a Chevy 350 crate motor. The engine runs well but is missing a throttle linkage part that unfortunately went to another past restoration project therefore we are calling it non-running/driving. Additionally it will need battery, oil change, fuel system flush, etc. and generally gone over before buyer should attempt to make it run or drive as the car has been in our storage since July 2004.

Original vinyl top has been removed and will need some repairs to roof and window edges before replacing (see pictures!) Some included trim has been removed to show repairs needed.
Trunk floor pan is very solid with surface rust (again see pictures) and solid near shock towers.
Driver and passengers floor pans are solid but some rust has begun and could be repaired if you desire. 

All the glass is good including the windshield.

We will not guarantee anything regarding running/driveablity as we are selling it as a project or to be restored and it has been in storage for quite some time. We assumed we would find a proper Pontiac 350 to rebuild for the car if we ever got to restoring it so we have spent very little time on the mechanicals of the car. 

Very hard to find one like this that has never been improperly restored or messed with/up. 

Please email with questions and include your phone number and times to call if you want to discuss anything by phone. 
You can also leave a message at 308-687-6097.
We are selling this Firebird NO RESERVE to the highest United States only bidder as a NON-RUNNING PROJECT and emphasize it is being sold AS-IS with no guarantees. What you see in the pics is all you get, Nothing else included
Buyer must contact us within 24 hours and make full payment of entire purchase price within 72 hours of winning high bid by either CASH IN PERSON or BANK WIRE TRANSFER to our business account.
Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs/fees or may pick up the car in person

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

Why Pontiac should come back and how it can be relevant again

Mon, Apr 17 2017

When I was a kid growing up in Metro Detroit, our family was always entwined in the General Motors empire. My dad and some of our relatives worked for GM in various capacities, and we had our fair share of Chevrolet, GMC, and even Buick products in our humble driveway. However, it was my Uncle Ed that always had a vehicle from the one GM brand that always appealed to me the most: Pontiac. Seeing him pull up in his Pontiac 6000 and later the '90s era Grand Prix sedan that replaced it was always an exciting occasion, and both of these models also reflected the playful spirit that once defined the Pontiac brand. Back when Pontiac first got its performance groove on in the '60s, names such as GTO, Firebird, as well as Bonneville became iconic nameplates in the broader muscle car era. The '80s saw Pontiac lose some of its styling heritage, but also try new things at the same time including turbocharging as well as the mid-engine sports car with the flawed but still sleek Pontiac Fiero. When the Pontiac brand was shuttered in 2009, it was a mere few years after I earned my drivers license, and also when Pontiac was just beginning to regain some of its lost luster. Granted cookie cutter efforts like the Pontiac G3, (Chevrolet Aveo) G5, (Chevrolet Cobalt) and G6 (Chevrolet Malibu) certainly did not help matters during Pontiac's final years on the market, but two models in particular offered a compelling glimpse into what could've been for the storied brand. The first was the Pontiac Solstice roadster/coupe. Originally introduced as a concept back in 2004, and championed by everyone's fighter jet flying auto executive Bob Lutz, the Solstice was designed to be a serious competitor to the Mazda Miata, and while its interior ergonomics were flawed and the top solution not ideal. It proved to be a fun little car to drive, and also a sales success for Pontiac with initial demand exceeding expectations.This was especially due to its lineup of engines with the 2.0 liter LHU turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 260 horsepower in GXP variants. The second and (inarguably my favorite Pontiac model) was the Pontiac G8 sedan. Originating in Australia as the Holden Commodore VE, the G8 was designed to rectify the multitude of sins created by the last generation Bonneville. Front wheel drive was pitched in favor of rear wheel drive, and for the first time in a long time interior ergonomics and cladding free exterior styling were key building blocks for success.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion

Fri, May 27 2016

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.
