1972 Pontiac Formula Fireibrd   *Barn Find*

This is a very unique and highly optioned classic muscle car.

This is a gentlemans Hot Rod having all the luxuries and amenities and power and handling to boot.

This is an L78 optioned Formula, one of 2429 built that way with a Pontiac 400 rated at 250hp and big auto trans with factory posi rear.

The car seems original minus its engine which is now a 71 Pontiac big valve 96 head 400 rated at 300hp.

Engine has not been started but is all there from carb all the way down.
 
This car has power everything and option galore... power steering, power disc brakes, power windows, even the rare power locks and still has the actuators.

Car has air condtioning and its all there... Deluxe Black interior with console, auto trans and also a rear window defrost car.


*This is the lowest production year Formula of the 2nd gens with only 5,249 being produced during the infamous "strike year" at GM.

This is a southern car that seems to have been in North Carolina most of its life. It has some issues but will make an awesome project car.

The front floors are fair and cowl is in good shape. The subframe and rails seem to be in good shape.  The area under the back seat is in need of repair.

The quarters have some rot at bottom but seem fairly good metal. Trunk has some sort of patch in it and havent removed gas tank so dont know exact condition.

All the window trim for the front and rear glass is in the trunk as well as other odds and ends for the car... car seems to have had a fiberglass valence- Factory?

Hood is in need of some repair but is definitely salvageable... a couple of the vent pieces are missing and pass side corner is cracked.

The doors and door jambs seem to be in good shape and all the seats and seat backs are in tact and in good shape.

Grills are perfect and the hardest part of the car to find because of the strike and relative low production number they are not available repop.

Car is Located 25 miles east of Charlotte NC... Odometer says 10k miles but I imagine its 110k but not sure.

Selling the car only because I have too many projects... Id love to see someone with a Passion for old Ponchos and the 2nd gens to have it.

These cars are gaining value rapidly and as nice a car as it will make it will also be a nice investment.

Bid honestly and please dont be a lousy bidder... she needs a new home

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
