ORIGINAL HARD TO FIND 455 FIREBIRD FORMULA WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND POSI. IT HAS AN ORIGINAL FIBERGLASS HOOD, I WAS TOLD FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER THAT IT HAS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE BUT NOT SURE. THE NUMBERS ON THE BLOCK ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BLOCK IS MARKED 036626 YW, BACK PASSENGER SIDE IS MARKED 485428. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD IS MARKED D093, DRIVERS SIDE HEAD IS MARKED D263. IT HAS A HOLLEY 4 BARREL DOUBLE PUMPER 3310 3 1341., EDELBROCK INTAKE AND A DEEP MOROSO OIL PAN. IT HAS A 10 BOLT POSI, NOT SURE OF GEARS. THE TIRES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE (SIZE 225/60/15). NEW TRIM RINGS, REPAINTED RALLY WHEELS TO THE CORRECT COLOR. THE ENGINE HAS HEADERS, HEI IGNITION. CAR HAS FRONT DISC BRAKES AND DUAL EXHAUST. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR IS BASICALLY SOLID BUT A LITTLE SCALEY, 1 SMALL HOLE(SMALLER THAN A DIME) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TRUNK FLOOR. THE EXTERIOR IS BURGUNDY AND THE PAINT HAS SCRATCHES AND FLAKING ON THE ENDURO NOSE (AS PICTURED). NO DAMAGE. THE INTERIOR IS BLACK IN COLOR, SOME PARTS WERE DYED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR WAS GOLD WITH A TAN INTERIOR(NOT 100% SURE). THIS CAR HAS HAD A RECENT TUNE-UP AND RUNS STRONG AND IS VERY FAST. OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WON'T START AFTER A LONG DRIVE, STARTER HEATS UP. THIS COULD BE SOLVED BY PUTTING IN A HEAT SHIELD OVER THE STARTER. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH (NEW POWER BOOSTER), BRAKES ARE A LITTLE WEAK DUE TO THE LACK OF VACUUM CAUSED BY THE CAM. WOULD RECOMMEND A VACUUM CANISTER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE GLASS, DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS NEED SOME WORK, OCCASIONALLY STICK. I BELEVE THE CAR HAD NEW REAR QUARTERS INSTALLED ONE TIME IN ITS LIFE. I TOOK A MAGNET TO EVERY BODY PANEL OF THE CAR AND IT STUCK TO ALL EXCEPT THE LOWER PART OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. ORIGINAL AM RADIO-DOES NOT PLAY, WINDSHIELD WASHERS DUE NOT WORK. THE FRONT SEATS HAVE SOME SPLITS ON THE BOTTOM SEAT CUSHIONS AND THE CONSOLE HAS SOME CRACKS. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS CAR SOUND BAD BUT WANT TO MAKE THE BUYER AWARE OF ANY FLAS I KNOW OF. . DEFINATELY A FUN FAST CAR THAT WITH SOME FRESH PAINT AND TLC COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT. THIS IS A 40 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND NOT PERFECT. THESE BIG BLOCK CARS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE RARER EVERYDAY. FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GOOD LUCK!!

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
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.
