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.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate

Thu, Mar 21 2019

It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Muller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hatz was still employed at the time, and in his company car. Who recorded the calls? His wife. Hatz and his missus apparently saw the storm coming and started stacking defenses early. Hatz's wife, who can be heard encouraging Hatz during at least one call, sent the recordings to Hatz's attorney from her mobile phone. According to a Google translation of the German newspaper Handelsblatt's report, she included the note, "Here is a very long, but quite informative conversation on the current situation with useful formulations." The report in Handelsblatt said that in Germany it is generally "not allowed" to record a conversation and pass it on to a third party. We don't know how the authorities will handle this matter, since prosecutors found the recordings in e-mail attachments on Mrs. Hatz's mobile phone. Remember, when the diesel scandal broke, VW spent months saying that only a small number of low-level personnel were behind it, and all of the higher-ups had been blindsided. Ex-CEO Martin Winterkorn claimed to be "stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group." Winterkorn successor Matthias Muller said, "according to current information, a few developers interfered in the engine management." Former VW USA honcho Michael Horn told a congressional committee that "a couple of software engineers" programmed the software for reasons no one could understand. In the recorded conversations, Hatz apparently called Muller to find out how VW planned to treat him.

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.
