1969 Pontiac Firebird 2-door Convertible on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
I am always available by mail at: harrisrevard@juno.com .
This 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible was originally sold at Lester Goodson Pontiac in Houston, Tx as shown in the
PHS (Pontiac Historical Services) documentation that will be included in the sale of the car. We acquired this
classic from a gentleman here in the Phoenix area who owned it for 30 plus years. It is quite obvious that this
bird was not driven during the summer months down here in the Arizona heat and prior to that spent its life in a
dry Climate controlled garage. If you have been looking for an investment quality classic convertible that is ready
to be driven and enjoyed then this is the one for you!! I will do my best to provide enough pictures, a video, and
an honest description to help you decide if this is the classic for you! Sit back and enjoy!
This ’69 Firebird Convertible has a great stance and shows off its curvy, sexy body lines just as you would want
it to. Extremely solid body that appears to have its original body panels, with excellent panel gaps. We are told
A professional cosmetic restoration was done approximately 15 years ago on the body. The body is extremely straight
and wears a beautiful, high quality Palladium Silver finish (which is also the original color). This Firebird
still wears the chrome trim that was included in the Decor Group package it was ordered with which includes chrome
trim around wheel wells and along the rocker panels. All of the chrome looks excellent!! Overall the body is truly
in fantastic condition but is not flawless. I did notice a couple of very tiny blemishes in the trim around the
front nose and a few tiny chips that had been touched up. This Firebird will get thumbs up and comments everywhere
you go and is ready for the local shows and car nights.
Lets drop the top and slide inside this sweet bird. The black interior is in fantastic condition with no rips or
tears and really barely any sign of wear. According to the PHS documents the interior was originally black and the
car even had a black convertible top. The original center console is in great condition and the original stereo
looks as it did back in 1969. Dash pad looks excellent as do the door panels and carpeting. Front and rear seat
belts have also been accounted for. Gauges are very clear and function correctly. All of the wiring from the
engine harness back to the rear wire harness in in excellent condition so lights and blinkers all function
correctly. The original steering wheel shows minor wear with Pontiac logo in tact.
This beautiful Firebird Convertible is powered by a completely rebuilt, very strong, correct 400 V8. It is the
original matching number motor I can testify that this car runs sweet and strong at all speeds! The Turbo
Hydromatic Transmission shifts strong and crisply and was also rebuilt. Handling is a breeze thanks to the Power
steering and newer front/rear suspension components. Braking was also nicely upgraded by the factory with Power
front disc brakes. This Firebird cruises along nice and cool and is riding on a brand new set of 225/60/15 BFG
Radial TA tires that are wrapped around a very nice set of original Rally wheels. This original high horsepower
Firebird 400 convertible it is a super strong, and great running classic that you can drive and enjoy for years to
come!!

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
Junkyard Gem: 2006 Pontiac Solstice
Wed, Sep 4 2019The debut of the Pontiac Solstice, back in 2005 for the 2006 model year, stirred up much excitement in the automotive world. Sales were brisk at first, and then they weren't so great… and then Pontiac itself went under The General's cost-cutting axe. One thing I have learned during my junkyard travels is that even sought-after sports cars eventually reach a point at which they start showing up in the big self-service junkyards. For example, the BMW Z3 began appearing in such yards about five years ago, along with the Audi TT. While the Honda S2000 still appears to be exempt from this process, today's Junkyard Gem shows that the time has now come for the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky. The first Z3s and TTs I saw in the U-Wrench-type yards were crash victims, not worth fixing, and that's the case with this Solstice. In a few more years, I'll start seeing the occasional Solstice/Sky discarded due to general worn-outness. Someone grabbed all the undented front body parts and the transmission (these items, presumably, being valuable), but no junkyard shoppers have felt like pulling the non-turbo 2.0-liter Ecotec. The interior seems dirty, probably from exposure to the elements while sitting outdoors in this Colorado Springs wrecking yard, but not in bad shape otherwise. Perhaps the car's owner celebrated a return from Iraq with the purchase of a sporty new Pontiac, 13 years ago. These cars have an enthusiastic following, so I wasn't expecting to see a junked one so soon after production ceased. I felt the same way about the Chrysler Crossfire, however, and I found two of those last year. What's next, a 2002-2005 Thunderbird? This content is hosted by a third party.
