For sale is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird V8, automatic. I have had this car in my small workshop for over a year and just can not get to it. It is a still a project and needs some tuning, paint and body work and brakes redone. I estimate I have over $8,000.00 in repairs, parts, interior and engine work not counting the actual cost of the car. I will list the good and bad as I know it. Still needs some work but the hard part has been done.

Drivetrain : Engine is a complete rebuilt (350) with 383 stroker steel crank, Chevrolet engine with roller rockers. RV cam, new oil pump, new fuel pump, new timing chain, Edelbrock intake, Holley dual feed carb, march pulleys, aluminum 4 core radiator, new starter, new alternator, new Optima battery, cables, lines and hose with new belts. Has headers and dual exhaust that exit the rear over the axle. Over $5,000 invested in parts alone. Transmission is a stock turbo 350 with a B&M quick silver shifter. Rear axle is a Posi unit 10 bolt stock.

Interior : New interior $2,000 from Trim shop. Includes Moss green new seats, new carpet, new headliner, new package tray, new arm rests new arm rest base, door panels are in perfect shape, factory am radio, center console, rear trunk full carpet and custom fabricated side panes that pull out for jack tools etc. I did not add a spare looks to clean without it. Has the deluxe steering wheel in perfect shape.

Exterior : Has a rust free 400 Firebird hood $800.00, new Trans Am side scoops $150.00 and a new Trans Am rear spoiler $269.00 (not installed) The rear deck lid was rusted on the the lip edge and I just replaced it $150.00. Front fenders look good need sanded and paint, doors look fine sand and paint. The floor boards are fine and have already been repaired (done before me). Rear quarters looks good but both need patches on the lower. The rear window panel also has some rust ( I have a new one that is not installed but goes with sale $100.00). Lower rockers in perfect shape.

Misc. : Has HEI ignition, new wires, plugs, Sun tach, ralley II wheels, new locks, glass all looks to be in great shape, all trim is there and just needs cleaning.

In closing I figure it would take about $3,500 in body work and paint to be a nice car. (I, in fact own a bodyshop and that is our estimate for this car, but we are almost 1 year back logged in our schedule.) The engine needs tuned (carb work, hesitates on acceleration) and I drove it around the block last week and noticed the brakes pull when you stop. Also all weatherstip needs replacing. 

I think this is a very solid car and is a great start for someone who is looking for a deal on a real muscle car,  I ask for a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of winning bid. I would ask for the total within 5 business days for winning bid. Feel free to ask any question or any picture you want that I dont have. Transportation is paid by winning buyer. Thank you for looking.

Woman Cleared In Fatal Car Wreck After GM Letter

Tue, Nov 25 2014

A Texas judge cleared a woman Monday for a car accident that killed her fiance in 2004, after General Motors acknowledged that her car would have been among millions being recalled for a problem that may have contributed to the death. Candice Anderson was driving a 2004 Saturn Ion when it suddenly veered off a road about 60 miles east of Dallas and slammed into a tree. Anderson, then 21, was severely injured when the car's air bags failed to deploy. Her 25-year-old fiance, Gene Erikson, who was a passenger, was killed. She later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the wreck. But during a hearing Monday, State District Judge Teresa Drum expunged the conviction from her record, according to officials in the Van Zandt County court andAnderson's attorney, Bob Hilliard. In a letter given to the court ahead of the hearing, an attorney for the automaker confirmed that Anderson's Saturn would have been among 2.6 million GM vehicles recalled in February to address ignition switches that can slip out of the "run" position, causing the engines to stall and disabling power steering, brakes and air bags. Anderson's crash "is one in which the recall condition may have caused or contributed to the frontal air bag non-deployment in the accident," attorney Richard C. Godfrey wrote. Hilliard provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press, and Godfrey confirmed its contents Monday. Anderson was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide because there was no clear explanation at the time why the wreck occurred, according to court documents from the case. She pleaded guilty to a letter charge in 2006, and was sentenced to five years' probation. She also was ordered to perform 260 hours of community service, pay court costs and cover the costs of Erikson's funeral. "GM knew this defect caused this death, yet instead of telling the truth watched silently as Candice was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter," Hilliard said Monday. "It took 10 years for GM to find its voice." In a separate statement issued by the company, GM said it "cooperated fully by providing technical information that was requested to make a decision in this matter." The carmaker also said the issue in Anderson's case was for local law enforcement and courts to consider. "That's why we took a neutral position on Ms. Anderson's case," the company's statement said. "It was appropriate for the court to determine the legal status of Ms.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful

Thu, Mar 24 2016

What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
