Here you have a 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, I am limited in the information I can give on this car, I can only go on what the owner told me at the time of sale. I have had it for quite sometime and it has been in my garage all that time. The vehicle came from Las Vegas and is equipped with a rebuilt 400 engine and a four speed transmission. I do not know if it has a posi rear or what kind of four speed it is. I was going to change it over to automatic so I took the clutch and brake pedal out and exchanged the pedal for an automatic one, so to keep it standard you will have to replace the clutch and brake pedal to bring it back to a four speed. Due to the fact of increasing projects I have acquired I do not have time to put into the vehicle and complete the job, so the four speed set-up is still in place, brake and clutch pedal is the only thing missing. I do have an automatic transmission for it, however if I do not sell the car I will change it over at a later time, the paint is decent and the body is solid. It will need a top, the one is ripped, and the interior is in satisfactory condition, probably will need new padding at a later time, the ones in there are good for now. The rug on the drivers side panel is missing and will have to be installed and the crank on the passenger rear window will have to be replaced in which I have the part. The engine has not been started in a couple of years, although it does turn by hand, it needs a starter and I also have that part. Either the transmission or the rear end needs a seal, one of those items leak and that will have to be replaced. The hood tachometer I am not sure if it works, it is not hooked up. I do not have front or rear cocktail shakers and four speed console, still for a forty five year old car, it has a lot of potential, it is not a basket case. The tires and rims are in very good condition, it has power steering and power front disc brakes. Of course it will take time and money to make it a real nice vehicle, the investment will be well worth it and Pontiac is no longer being made. The car is being sold as is with no warranty and open for inspection.

If you have any questions you can call 270-846-0837, and leave a message if I do not pick up, I will return your call ASAP.

Distracted driver crosses center line and hits police car

Wed, Apr 6 2016

Attentive driving and quick reflexes saved the life of a police officer in Hudson, WI, when an oncoming driver drifted into the officer's lane and struck his cruiser. According to KMSP, the officer was patrolling along a busy road through Hudson on March 31 when the crash occurred. Dash cam video from the patrol car which was released to local media shows the dramatic collision unfold. As the officer came around a mild left-hand curve, a white, 90s-era Pontiac Grand Am continued straight through the curve, across the center line, and directly into the officer's path. The officer was able to avoid a head-on collision, but the Pontiac still struck the driver's side of the patrol car. "Both the officer and the other driver are ok, however, this accident could have been much, much worse," said a Hudson Police Department official on the department's Facebook page. "So please remember to pay attention to your driving at all times when behind the wheel." Minnesota's Department of Public Safety estimates that one in every four crashes in the State of Minnesota are caused by distracted drivers. DPS believes that the actual number may be higher, but police often have difficulty proving distracted driving as the cause of a crash. Government/Legal Pontiac Driving Safety Coupe Police/Emergency

This classic Firebird restomod swallowed a Prius

Tue, Apr 19 2016

It takes an unusual eye to look at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird and see the Toyota Prius hidden inside. But that's just the kind of eye that a creative mechanic known online as "Bill the Engineer" has. Bill is updating his old Firebird into a true classic for the 21st century and has documenting the changes over at Priuschat and EcoModder. The TL,DR version of the story: he's replacing the worn-out powertrain with the gas-electric hybrid one from a Prius V, because it turns out the two vehicles have almost exactly the same wheelbase. Bill, who's from Columbus, Ohio and doesn't want his full name used, said in his posts on the conversion project that he's made many memories with this vehicle since buying it back in 1979. Since then, a few moves, a few decades, and some time in storage meant that the car would no longer function as he wanted it to. As he wrote, "when it comes to mice in the vehicles IT IS WAR." His solution is to make new memories and making a greener vehicle, and so we wanted to ask him how things have been going. Bill's been traveling a bit recently, but told AutoblogGreen that he's now figuring out the next steps for this amazing and complicated project. "I always plan things out before I do them," he said. That's the only way something like this can work. ABG: I think we have to start with what gave you the inspiration for this project. Was it simply that you had the two cars and wanted to see them merged into one cool mashup, or was it something else? "One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid... The rest is history." Bill: I have been the owner of my 1967 Firebird convertible since 1979 when I bought it for $750.00. I drove it for years and made many memories. Afterward it was in storage for many years during which time mice at their way into the car and trashed the interior and wiring. I started working on a conventional restoration but always ran into major problems with hidden corrosion, electrical issues and an engine on its last legs. The car was never going to be as nice as I wanted going the conventional route. One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid like our two daily driver Prii. That got me thinking about how it could be done. The rest is history... ABG: It looks like you started in late 2014. Have things gone well since then, or has it been one hassle after another? What has been the biggest setback, and what were the biggest victories?

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."
