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!!

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers
Tue, May 30 2017A 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.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
