It is a true survivor, lived its whole life in the Pacific Northwest (no road salt) it is in near perfect original condition. The only modifications include recent top end work (Mild cam with new valve springs and lifters, High rise manifold, Holley Carburetor, Professionally done $5,000) New Coker white wall tires $1,200, New brakes including new front disk brake, rear drum overhaul $1,000, New shocks, New molding seals. All electrical systems function (the dash clock only works intermittently) As you can see from the photos that there is no sign of rust, the paint still looks nice but is 15 years old, the original interior is in near perfect condition, It has been garaged its whole life. It is a gas to take to Car shows, the Gallery photo was right before Rod Run in Long Beach, WA back in September. it is very unique and in exceptional condition (to many Camaros, Firebirds and Hot rods) and gets compliments every time I drive it. When I purchased my Bonneville, I searched for almost a year trying to find one that was original and in decent condition. Finding one was not an easy endeavor, I found it in Bend, OR, the original owner had passed away at 87 and was having a third party sell the car. His Daughter said from the day he bought it off the showroom floor it was always just a Sunday driver, which explains the low mileage. She also said he kept it in his shop for as long as he owned it and never drove in the rain, the top was always down when he took it for a drive. When I saw the advertisement, I immediately jumped in my car with my wife at 8:00 in the evening and drove 300 miles to look at it. I saw the Bonneville from about 2 blocks away and knew immediately that it was the one I had been looking for. I believe in full disclosure, so here are the items that I am aware of that need attention (all minor issues);
The car runs and drives like new, the original gas and brake pedal show little wear. I really hate to part ways with it, but my wife and I have been Research Scientist’s at Weyerhaeuser for over 30 years and recently got laid off. I have sold 3 Classic cars on EBAY without any complaints. I have the car listed locally and on several other sites, so I reserve the right to stop the auction at anytime. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. I’m just hoping it goes to a good home. |

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Firebird
Mon, Dec 18 2023Last spring, this series featured a 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS in a Northern California junkyard, an example of the final model year for the highly successful third-generation GM F-Body. On a later visit to that yard, I spotted the Pontiac sibling to that car, a Firebird that was born the same year at the same Southern California factory. When the Chevrolet Division introduced the first Camaro as a 1967 model, the Pontiac Division got its own version of the F-Body called the Firebird. While the two cars were built on the same chassis and looked very similar, the first-generation Camaros got Chevrolet engines while their Firebird colleagues got Pontiac engines (including the innovative SOHC straight-six). The 1970-1981 second-generation Firebirds still had some Pontiac-only engines, but Chevrolet and Oldsmobile power crept under some hoods during that period. The third-generation Firebirds first appeared as 1982 models, and they drew from near-identical stockpiles of GM running gear (including the distinctly agricultural Iron Duke four-banger, which could be considered a Pontiac-derived engine). When the Camaro got the axe after 2002, the Firebird's neck was put on the same chopping block. When the Camaro returned for 2010, the Pontiac brand was sputtering to an agonized halt during its final year and there was no chance of the Firebird's return. This car is a fairly ordinary coupe, though it does have the mid-grade 205-horsepower 5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block V8 instead of the base 140-horse 3.1-liter V6. A 5.7-liter small-block was available as well. A five-speed manual transmission was base equipment, but few Americans wanted a three-pedal setup by the early 1990s. This car has the optional four-speed automatic. The MSRP with 5.0 engine, automatic transmission and air conditioning (which this car has) started at $14,304. That's about $31,868 in 2023 dollars. It was built at Van Nuys Assembly in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County. By the dawn of the 1990s, the Camaros and Firebirds made at Van Nuys Assembly had become known as the worst-built GM cars made in North America, and the plant was shut down forever soon after this car was built. Today, a shopping mall lives where the factory once stood. This car managed to drive more than 150,000 miles during its life, so it beat the odds. The thrid-gen F-Body was pretty antiquated by the early 1990s, but the fourth-gen cars handled better and looked up-to-date for the era.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
