1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400, this is a solid mostly original car showing a correct 81717 miles, I have the PHS, Build Sheet & Protectoplate. I am the 5th owner having it since 2007, the previous owner had it since 1984. Car came from Utah when I purchased it in 2007, originally sold new in Oregon state. Solid western car.
Car has all its original body panels except for the front valance panel. Original quarter panels, wheel houses, tail panel, floors, frame rails, fenders, doors, etc. Paint condition is poor, paint is about 30 years old, previous owner says it was painted before he bought it, so sometime in the early 1980s, they painted over the original Silver paint, front right fender has a small rust hole, doors have dings. Trunk floor has some surface rust on it but is solid.
The 400 engine is the original WK code with VIN number stamped in the block K151, Engine has a recent rebuilt and runs excellent, also has its original 7K3 heads K091 & K261, intake 485912 K171, carburetor 7042263 WF 3091, alternator 37amp 1100927, air cleaner. Distributor is not the original but a correct number 1112121 dated 1J27. Transmission is the original M22 Close Ratio Muncie Rock Crusher with VIN Number stamped in case. Rear axle is the original 10bolt open, posi was not originally ordered on this car. The original Hurst Shifter has been rebuilt and has all the correct linkage including the reverse lockout, the clutch rod is an NOS piece. Transmission also has a new clutch & pressure plate, etc. New 4 core radiator but the original single core radiator is included.
Interior has been reupholstered in the correct Black Deluxe, new carpet & headliner. Door panels, kick panels, rear side panels and seatbelts are the originals, dash pad is also the original one, I installed the factory am/fm radio and 8-track, both do not work, car originally came with a console but was in poor shape so I put 8-track on the factory pedestal. I like the no console look. The dash has a new wiring harness from M&H Wiring. All the gauges work except for the clock. The Formula steering wheel is the thick Padded reproduction.
The front subframe has been restored with a complete bushing kit, springs are the originals, front sway bar was replaced with a 1 1/4 inch bar from a 71 Trans Am. All new front brakes with new lines & hoses etc. Also included is the 7/8 rear sway bar from the same Trans Am. Exhaust is new and is from Gardner Exhaust, dual pipes with single crossflow muffler, correct chrome exhaust tips. Torq Thrust wheels are 15x7 and tires are 235/60/15. Original 14x7 Rally II wheels were not on car when I bought it. Someone added the rear spoiler years ago, not me, but I did get the correct early 70-72 end caps for it.
Data Plate info:

Car is sold as is with no warranty of any kind, I have a transferable registration in my name, titles were not used in NY until about 1973 so car is transferable by the registration. Car is located in Poughkeepsie, New York, about an hour north of New York City. Thanks.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
