You are bidding on a documented 1969 Pontiac Firebird HO/Ram Air 3, M-21 Close Ratio 4-speed with 3.90 posi. The car has 83,000 miles on the original WQ numbers matching 400 that has not been rebuilt, numbers matching M-21 trans that has not been rebuilt and the original Safe-T-Track 3.90 posi ZK rearend that has not been rebuilt. All the sheet metal is original polished, bumpers (re-chromed) and molding are all original (emblems are new), hood tach, original exhaust, new interior, recently re-painted correct Windward Blue. The carburetor is the only thing missing from the car as it is a clone carb with the right numbers. The past owner said that he had a new carburetor car put on it just before the car was parked and unfortunately didn't have the original. The carb that was on the car is a correct replacement carb that I still have (1968 RA Carb). I found the car around the corner from my house covered in ivy and untouched for over thirty years. The car was put back together using all the original parts that were cleaned up, painted and put back on. According to the last owner I am the third owner as he was the second and the original owner was an older women. The second owner bought the car in high school and drove it until the clutch went out at which time it was parked and not moved for thirty years...lucky find for me!!! The car is one of 563 HO/Ram Air III Manual 1969 Firebirds. It is also one of less than 70 Firebirds that would have been optioned with the M-21. I am not sure how many Firebird Ram Air 3 cars had this. I do know that there were only 113 cars built with the m-21 and 46 of the were Ram Air 4's. I have all the PHS documentation for the car but the car didn't have the build sheet. The car drives perfect and is driven around the local town and to shows regularly. It runs and drives perfectly. The only engine work that was done is I installed new gaskets, new bearings, and had the heads freshened up. Everything else is untouched. No boring, no honing, all original components. The bearing were only replaced because it just seemed like the logical thing to do since the engine had 80k miles (probably wasn't necessary). The engine has 175-180 cranking pressure in the cylinders and doesn't leak or burn any oil and doesn't smoke a bit. Runs Perfect!I replaced the clutch with a dual friction centerforce. Let me know if you have any questions. Buyer would be responsible for all shipping and a 500 dollar deposit is due within 24 hours of the auction ending. Thanks!

My numbers about the M-21 specs wrong. According to my research there were no Ram Air 3 Trans Ams with the M-21, only the 4. So out of the 113 M-21 cars in 1969 in the RA3 model they must have been Firebirds. Either way very rare.

Also, I added a picture of the stereo system installed under the package tray and a few others. The stereo is bluetooth so that it works with your smartphone and the remote under the dash is also removable during car shown since it is only velcroe holding it in place. No cutting was done to install this system. The picture of the car on the trailer is how it looked after it was pulled out after 30 years.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

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.
