1980 Firebird 73 Front End Shaker Hood on 2040-cars
Shepherdsville, Kentucky, United States
|
first off I took this car on trade and I'm going to be harsh with my description I'm going to try to point out every flaw I can find, so please look at the pictures closely ask questions I would much rather discourage you from buying than get it home and be disappointed my option of the car is its a great car, Has lots of curb appeal, Runs good, sounds mean, and what little I have drove it was a pleasure to drive, had no unusual squeaks or rattle this slick firebird started life as a 1980 turbo firebird, has power windows, power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes positrac rear. It presently has a 400 Pontiac motor, aluminum intake, full length headers, dual exhaust (be aware that all of the emissions controls have been removed) the ac condenser lines have been cut, has a 350 turbo trans, interior.... the rear seats have new PUI covers, front seats are aftermarket (hug you pretty good) dash and door panels appear to be original and in super good shape. the car appears to have no rust, I have not inspected behind spoiler or ground effects the front end was replaced with a 71-73 has shaker hood.... because of the aluminum intake being taller this causes the hood to be raised slightly on the back near windshield the front spoiler is a mix match of the old and newer firebird if you look close you can tell it doesn't follow the bottom of the front bumper perfectly the paint appears to be a Candy blue color and in spots it wasn't applied perfectly so there are different shades the driver door looks like it has new hinges and the door still needs some adjusting. if you look close at the bottom edge of the door it looks like when you ever replaced the hinges that they had it on some sort of supporting devise and the bottom edge has a very slight bend you will need to get down on the floor to see.... the driver door glass doesn't roll up correctly I think some adjusting on it and it will be good as new has 15x8 aluminum wheels the rear tires are 272 60 15 drag radials and the front are 275 60 15 tires but will need to be replaced as they are old I have 2 sets of T-tops that go with the car one set is Chrome color and the other set is smoked I have only one set of T-top bags If you have any question please ask.... I have this car listed else where and reserve the right to sell until the reserve is met when the reserve is met It will no longer be for sale locally On Sep-17-14 at 20:53:04 PDT, seller added the following information: just some clarification referring to "old" tires.... the rear tires are like new...just the front tires are the ones that will need to be replaced in the near future referring to the oil leak..... I started the motor this morning let it run 30-40 minutes let it sit till this evening and it left an oily spot the diameter of the bottom of a soda can right under the flywheel dust cover could be as simple as a oil sending unit or as bad as a rear main seal I'm not sure this size oil leak could be considered unreasonable for a 69 model motor, but I would much rather you know now..... I have been places that I was asked to put a piece of card board under my truck "just incase" referring to a trade.... I do trade as this is how I ended up with this beauty Thanks for asking |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac Vibe
Wed, Apr 17 2024Just over a month before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009, General Motors announced that the 83-year-old Pontiac Division would be "phased out" by the end of 2010. Only three Pontiac vehicles were sold as 2010 models in the United States: the Solstice, Vibe and G6 (new G3s were sold here during 2010 but they were all 2009 models, while the G5 was available as a 2010 model only in Canada and Mexico). Today's bit of junkyard automotive history is one of the very last Vibes ever built, found in a yard near Denver, Colorado. This car is significant not just as one of the final vehicles to bear Pontiac badges but also as one of the last cars built by the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated GM-Toyota joint venture in California, better known as NUMMI. The NUMMI factory began life as GM's Fremont Assembly, which built its first vehicle (a C-Series pickup) in 1963 and closed in 1982 after building its final vehicle (an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera). Rebooted as NUMMI, the first 1985 Chevrolet Nova (an Americanized AE82 Toyota Corolla Sprinter) rolled off the line in December of 1984. A quarter-century and better than eight million vehicles hence, NUMMI shut down production after its last Corolla was finished on April 1, 2010. While there was some noise about the Oakland Athletics building a new stadium on the site at the time, Tesla ended up buying most of the site soon after that. Tesla now builds more vehicles per year there than NUMMI ever did. The Vibe was co-developed with Toyota and based on the same platform as the ninth-generation Corolla. The Toyota Matrix was mechanically identical and was built in Canada, while the Japanese-market version (known as the Toyota Voltz) was built on the same NUMMI line as the Vibe and shipped across the Pacific. The Vibe/Matrix/Voltz got a redesign for the 2009 model year, but few noticed due to all the turmoil in the GM world at the time. The final Vibe was built in August 2009. This car was built in July of 2009, just before the end. It was living in West Texas just prior to coming to Colorado. El Paso is about a ten-hour drive from this car's current location. Once in the Centennial State, it got parked somewhere it shouldn't have been and ended up being auctioned to Pick Your Part. An occupant of this Vibe had time to sample some of the local agricultural products before that happened.
