 Hello.  You are bidding on a 1973 Formula Firebird with 400 engine, 4bbl carb, TH400 transmission and cold factory a/c.  It is a true numbers matching Formula 400 survivor with 81,000 original miles.   This car spent its entire life in the little California town of Portola.  It has always been adult owned, driven, and maintained.  I am the third owner.

Condition is as follows :

Engine/Drivetrain:

Runs and drives great, engine does not smoke.  This is a dependable, well maintained driver with no leaks.  Everything works on this car, no major mechanical issues at all.   Front tires are like new,  rear tread is getting low so they will need replaced at some point, but that's the only thing I can think of that this car needs mechanically.  I do, however, still have the original Pontiac wheels that came with the car. Tires on the stock wheels have decent tread but are old.  Will ship with wheels and tires shown or the stockers, whichever you choose. 

Interior:

Interior as you can see is in nice driver condition showing normal wear for its age.  Steering column is tight.  Everything works, blinkers, lights, etc.  I would give the interior a solid 8 on a scale of 1-10.  

Body:

This car has ZERO rust issues and still has all GM sheet metal that it came with from the factory.  Has been repainted once over original green and has no body filler or damage repair hiding under the paint.  What you see is what you get in the pictures.  Paint is driver quality with chips, scratches, and parking lot dings, but as you can see is still very presentable as is.  Doors, trunk and hood open and shut good.  Trunk floor was just stripped down and recoated by a reputable local body shop so that the potential buyer can see just how solid it actually is.  Yes, I do have the original jack and spare for this car as well. Body is excellent on this car.   

Overall:

This is an extremely solid California driver with original sheetmetal that can be driven and enjoyed as is.  Plus it`s a true Formula 400 car with all original drivetrain, not a clone    This car is for sale locally as well as on Ebay so I reserve the right to end my auction at anytime before the scheduled end of auction. 

Potential Buyers: 
 
I have described this car honestly and to the best of my knowledge, but please, if you need additional pictures, or have any specific questions, please ask BEFORE bidding as this sale is final with no warranty.  Please understand, this is a 40+year old car, so expect normal wear and tear based on mileage and my decription.  Serious buyers can feel free to call me with any questions (530) 307-8973.  If I don`t answer, please LEAVE A MESSAGE and I WILL call you back!!  Lowball offers will not receive a response, I am not out of work, losing my house, etc.  I also reserve the right to end auction at any time for local sale.  Yes, this car is available in person for inspection at any time before the end of auction as I have nothing to hide. 
>
>SERIOUS BIDDERS WITH 15 OR LESS FEEDBACK WILL CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING AS I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID OTHERWISE.  NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT I HAVE DEALT WITH TOO MANY NON-PAYING BIDDERS IN THE PAST AND IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN.  THANKS.  

Out of country buyers:

I have sold cars out of country in the past, have references, and am familiar with the shipping process.  I prefer West Coast Shipping but will help arrange safe transport to a shipping port of your choice.  

Thank you

Larry

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 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.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
