This is my personal Car from my collection I am in a personal transition and selling a few of my blue chip
investment cars.
This is a VERY RARE Muscle car there are few that can say they have seen a REAL 400 4 speed HO Convertible ..
let alone have one
They made 91 of the 400 Ho 4 Speed convertibles, of them 4 were Trans Am Convertibles ( that sell for 3-5 Million
in this condition if they are availible)
the 87 400 HO cars left ( none TA) were seen as a sleeper from the factory and these cars were NOT Promoted and
even discouraged. Over the last 25 years I have found 17 of them from rust buckets to Prestine ( one in Fla is
WOW nice)
The only NUMBERS Matching car like mine I have seen sell is a Green on Green one in January 2010 that sold for
76,000 at BJ Scottsdale and lets be honest Green on Green not my flavor.
This car is a 1 of 1 Car
Why you ask
well other than the color combo which is rare!
This car is Drag Pak Car It has the Special Order 3.90 Rear end factory order with Tilt Steering. Both I have
confirmed with PHS are not normal on a 400HO
It is Power roof Car
Power steering
the interior is ORIGINAL
The engine has NEVER been out of the car .
The only thing not right on the engine is the water pump that was removed in 94 as it was leaking ( its in the
trunk)
Car has ALL The Ram Air parts in the trunk BRAND NEW. The same way the Ram Air cars were dleivered car was to the
dealers in 1969.
This car has NEVER left BC Canada .. I have known this car for a LONG time!
Sold new in 1969 to Ross He sold it to his sister in 1992, then after years of asking I got the car I have
owned her for many years and have ONLY 473 miles on it I start the car every 2 weeks .. I have the original
rims on the car I have removed the foose legends and sold them . the car is and was a Sleeper from the factory.
This car was a Special FACTORY ORDER car, I have talked to the man that ordered it new. It was so well optioned
with go fast items it was insane expensive and MSRP was OVER that of the 2 69 Trans Am Convertibles that also sold
in Vancouver BC
If you want a car you can NEVER replace this may be the one. Again Fly here and inspect the car you will be
glad you did .
Numbers
of the approx 87000 Firebirds built in 69
Approx 11000 were convertibles (1 in 8)
of the firebirds only 87 were 400 HO 4 speeds Firebirds
and 4 were Trans Am Convertible 4 speeds all Ram air
You see this is beyond rare
If this was a COPO Camaro BB 4 speed Convertible it would be $280,000 plus Firebirds are coming up in value and
this is one of the best they ever made.
This car has 1 repaint ( factory Pladdium Silver - 1996 )
Interior is ORIGINAL!

Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?

Sun, Feb 4 2018

It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT

Wed, Nov 2 2022

If you like affordable, mid-engined two-seaters, the 1980s were your decade. Fiat (and, a bit later, Bertone) offered the X1/9, Toyota sold MR2s, and even General Motors got into the act by creating the Fiero. Available from the 1984 through 1988 model years, the Pontiac Fiero showed plenty of promise but ended up being mostly disappointing, in some ways echoing the career of the Chevy Corvair of a couple of decades earlier. Today's Junkyard Gem is a once-spiffy 1986 Fiero GT, found in a self-service yard near Denver, Colorado. After a long and painful development period stretching all the way back to John DeLorean's XP-833 Banshee (which ended up being a major influence behind the original Opel GT), the Fiero finally debuted in 1983 as a 1984 model. The top-of-the-model-range GT appeared the following year. The Fiero was built as a notchback coupe and as a fastback, with all the GTs being the latter type. I couldn't get the engine lid open, but this car would have left the assembly line (in Pontiac, Michigan) with a 2.8-liter V6 rated at 140 horsepower. This car has a five-speed manual transmission, making it a credible rival for Toyota's MR2.  The 1986 MR2 was less powerful than the Fiero GT (112 horsepower versus 140), but also scaled in significantly lighter (2,459 pounds against the Pontiac's 2,780 pounds). The MR2 also cost less, priced at $11,298 while the Fiero GT cost $12,875 (that's about $30,540 and $34,805, respectively, in inflation-adjusted 2022 dollars). Meanwhile, the $6,998 Honda Civic CRX two-seater lured away many potential Fiero buyers despite being a front-engined/front-wheel-drive car, and the $7,186 Ford EXP/Mercury LN7 also put a dent in Fiero sales. I can't find a price for the 1986 Bertone X1/9, but it cost a hard-to-believe $13,990 in 1984. GM still was using five-digit odometers in many vehicles by the middle 1980s, but this Fiero has a six-digit unit and thus we can see that it nearly achieved 150,000 miles during its driving career. The 1984-1987 Fiero suffered from a parts-bin suspension design, with the front suspension borrowed from the Chevrolet Chevette and the entire rear transaxle/suspension assembly lifted from the front end of the Chevrolet Citation. For the 1988 model year, GM finally spent the money to design an improved Fiero-specific suspension … and then promptly put a halt to production.
