1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible on 2040-cars
Blythewood, South Carolina, United States
|
Absolutely gorgeous 1968 Pontiac Firebird convertible. Fully restored 6
years ago and continuously maintained and kept in enclosed garage. All of the
following were replaced new: interior, seat covers, door panels, carpet and
mats, wooden steering wheel, chrome rear bumper, coils, springs, shocks, black
top and top motor, trunk liner and headlamps. This California classic has standard A/C, 273 posi rear, 4 disc brakes,
power steering and a new fuel pump/filter. The underside looks great with nice
undercoat. New power top is easy to use and works perfectly. Has Alpine
radio/cd player and alarm system. Wood grain center console. The motor in this car is beautiful! Restored with a 60k mile 5.7L (347.8 cu
in) LT1-V8 engine out of a 1993 Z-28. The motor alone was over $6,000.
Noticeably more horsepower than original 350 or 400 engines. Runs very strong
and puts off a vicious sounding exhaust. See below for more information on LT1
technology. It is missing the ashtray in the console rear section ($50 eBay), and A/C
fan is complete but not hooked up. Who needs A/C when you have a convertible?! As is where is, buyer responsible for shipping costs. Best of luck bidding!! LT1 In 1992, GM created a new-generation small block engine called the LT1,
recalling the 1970 LT1 moniker. It displaced 5.7 liters and was a 2-valve
pushrod design. The LT1 used a reverse-flow cooling system which cooled the
cylinder heads first, maintaining lower cylinder temperatures and allowing the
engine to run at a higher compression than its immediate predecessors. The
1992-93 LT1s used speed density fuel manangement, batch-fire injection and a
dedicated engine control module (EMC). |

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
