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!!

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac 6000 STE AWD

Sun, Aug 1 2021

During the middle to late 1980s, General Motors made a big push to grab back some of the sales swiped by makers of European luxury machinery during the previous decade. Around the top of the prestige pyramid, there was the Turin/Hamtramck-built Cadillac Allante taking aim at the Mercedes-Benz 560SEC and the super high-tech Buick Reatta trying to seduce away BMW and Jaguar shoppers; even the Riviera offered a futuristic touchscreen computer sorely lacking in anything out of Stuttgart or Bavaria. The General had a plan to take on the smaller German sporty sedans, too, and Pontiac of the "We Build Excitement" era offered a midsize sedan packed with modern hardware at a great price: the 6000 STE. Here's one of the rarest 6000 STEs of them all, an all-wheel-drive-equipped '89 found in a Denver-area yard last week. Any 6000 STE is extremely hard to find today; when I wrote about a front-wheel-drive 1987 6000 STE back in 2018, desperate owners of these cars filled my inbox with requests — sometimes demands —  for parts that continue to this day. Many of them pleaded with me to help them find an all-wheel-drive version, and now I have managed to find one at Colorado Auto & Parts in Englewood, just south of Denver (in fact, the same yard at which I shot the '87). You may recall CAP as the old-school yard whose owners built the amazing airplane-engined 1939 Plymouth pickup a few years back.  The all-wheel-drive system on the 6000 STE was introduced for the 1988 model year, and it became standard equipment on the 1989 STE. At this time, the automotive industry had taken note of the success of the idiot-proof all-wheel-drive systems offered by AMC and Audi/Volkswagen; Toyota began selling Americans all-wheel-drive Camrys, Celicas, and Corollas, while Ford offered the Tempo and Topaz with optional AWD and Subaru was just beginning to make the switch from manually-selected four-wheel-drive to genuine all-wheel-drive around that time (it took a few more years for everyone to standardize on the 4WD/AWD terminology we use today, though). The 6000 STE AWD was intended to compete with such all-wheel-drive-equipped sedans as the Audi 80 ($23,610), Audi 90 ($28,840), and BMW 325iX ($30,750); its $22,599 price tag (about $50,700 in 2021 dollars) certainly made it seem like a bargain compared to those cars. In addition to the all-wheel-drive system, 1989 6000 STE owners got a digital instrument panel and more switches and buttons than the Space Shuttle.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
