ALL ORIGINAL CAR. ORIGINAL MOTOR,TRANSMISSION,INTERIOR. FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING.

This is my 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400. The car, and motor are numbers matching, and it has 90,867 original miles on it. The car is just about a survivor besides being painted by the previous owner in the early 2000s. I am the third owner of the car.

THE BODY:
  When repainted the car was completely painted from under hood to inside doors, and jams to under trunk. The car has a nice shine to it, and the paint is in great shape given year. The original color was Nightshade Green. The car has the original glass in it. The driver side, and passenger side windows do still have the Firebird emblem etched onto them. The rear quarter glass is original, and in good shape. The rear window has no flaws. The front windshield does have a small chip at the top of it away from the line of sight. The car does have all the original chrome trim around windows, and wheel wells. The front, and rear bumpers are original, and in great shape. Still shiny, and no signs of rust. The car has the original factory 400 emblems on the hood, and on the truck. With the Pontiac emblems on the rear quarter panels (blinkers), and on the front bumper. The car has original hubcaps, and fairly new tires on them. There are a couple SMALL spots of rust that I did take pictures of. They are not very noticeable, and are not to large at all. 

THE MOTOR & TRANSMISSION:
 The motor is the original 400 small block with the original Hydra-matic 400 transmission. The motor is equipped with the original Rochester 4BBL Quadrajet. The car CAME from the factory with air conditioning, and came also with factory power brakes, and factory power steering. The motor is about original as you can get besides hoses, and belts being replaced. It does not have any weird ticking sounds or tapping sounds to it. It crank right up, and idles, and runs smooth. The car turns, and stops better than most late model cars. It turns, and stops with no hesitations, and accelerates without a hiccup. The A/C blows decently cold given the year of the car, and there is quite a temperature difference between outside, and inside car. The transmission shifts perfect. No hesitations or slips. The motor does have a small oil leak. I think coming from the front timing cover. It is not enough to have to put oil in between changes.

THE INTERIOR:
  The interior is all original including the clock, and the radio. The gauges, and all knobs (including windshield wipers, and night time lights) are original. The head lights, and running, and brake lights work, including the blinkers. The high beam light switch (on floor), and lights work as well. The horn works too. The front, and rear seats are original, and are in great shape given year. There is a small split on the shoulder of drivers seat (just needs to be restitched NOT torn). The head liner is not falling down, and still is in great shape. The dash, and glove box, and all trim do not have any cracks or tears, and are in great condition. The carpet does have some wear, but nothing to be concerned with. There are no pieces missing in the interior, and it is complete. 

The car is garage kept, and within the past year hasnt been driven more than 300 miles. I dont have the time to drive the car or keep up with it as it deserves.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car

Mon, Nov 30 2020

Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video:   Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
