1980 Pontiac Firebird this car was built in van nuys California and sold new at Dan Day Pontiac in Fresno California. I have the original build sheet. I bought this car 6 months ago to restore but since ive bought a GTO project and this is why im selling the Firebird. This car shows 94xxx miles and was told its original but I cant prove that. This car still has the original v6 3.8 engine that has all smog and a/c still in place the engine and transmission run very good and the front end is tight the car sits well also I believe the miles are correct. I took this car to the metal and painted it Silver I painted jams inner cowl inside trunk I took the whole car apart and painted it. This car is solid as a rock no rust in floors or rockers or frame rails quarters anywhere, I fixed a few dents but no rust. This car would make a great Trans Am clone or V8 sleeper. Im not a pro car still needs color sanded and you will find imperfections and sand scratches but if the paint job was perfect it would cost more then the car. I installed new weather stripping new carpet new door sill plates. I put new grilles a new rear window hat board I also resealed the rear window. The car was original brown with camel interior the Rally II wheels are the factory wheels that came with the car. Ive had many F Bodys and for those who know these cars its rare to find a car that has no rust and still has every body panel it was born with. This car still needs some interior work as seen in the pics. Im selling this car NO/RESERVE!!!!
Things I know the car needs
The rear brake shoes are metal to metal and the emergency brake is froze.
It has valve covers that leak typical.
The heater controls do not work heater core is hooked up.
Dome light doesn't work no radio.
Tires are bad.
Things I know work
Gas gauge
horn,all lights on outside except two marker lights.
Tilt steering column is tight car has roll up windows work fine.
Wipers work car has idiot lights.
The console glove box is not shown in pics I have it but its broke like most.
The window chrome is not installed I have it and its in good shape I didn't have any clips to reinstall.
You could make a daily driver out of this car with not much work or you could take this car to the next level and have a super nice car. Great Trans Am or LS swap sleeper or leave it as a Firebird you rarely see a nice Bird anymore. I was going to put the T/A birds on it and leave it be myself. Im sure ive forgot something feel free to call or text Billy 270-564-3996 if your serious. Please no 0 or negative feedback bidders I will cancel your bid. This car will sell no matter what it brings. Serious bidders only no deadbeats please. I cant express how solid this car is.
250.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hrs of auctions end balance within 7 days of auctions end. Payment must clear before car will leave will work with shipper on pick up. Can drive car to local interstate to help with pick up. If car is picked up in person bring cash no checks.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am
Sun, Jun 28 2015The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
