Sweet 1968 Firebird 400 - Excellent Silver paint I've owned this baby for 25 years. Other than the wrong side view mirrors and some dress up chrome, this vehicle is all stock! Car is extremely close to stock, including 400/engine with quadrabog carb, drum breaks all the way around; cast iron manifolds; points and condenser, etc. I do have the original rally wheels, valve covers and air cleaner to bring it closer to stock. This is a solid must see car, priced to sell. I'm looking for a new Firebird project, so I know whats out there and this cars is a gem. Only serious offers please. Local viewing encouraged. Some Additional Details I've been in the car business since I was 14, that's over 40 years around cars. My family has owned a Pontiac Cadillac dealership here in NJ since 1955, so I know many people in every aspect of the auto industry. Some stuff was done at the dealership, some was sent to friends and vendors I've known for all these years. I have receipts for most parts purchased -- Ames, Year One, parts stores, etc. The restoration was started around 1990. The engine was pulled early in the process and resealed, and heads sent to my local speed shop. The trans was done in house by our master tech who has now passed on. The engine code is YS which is period correct. The body is solid; I replaced some small patches around the wheel openings, but nothing major. The paint was done around 1999 in a 2000 Pontiac color code #13 Bright Silver metallic, which is a base coat / clear coat application -- very, very nice job. The rear is original to my knowledge with low highway gears. The speedo says 160 and I bet it will do it. I replaced the driver seat cover, headliner and package shelf. This is the first time it's been on e-bay and the e-mails are many. I never thought I would sell it, but I have only put approx 5000 miles on it in all this time, and now I'm parting ways with my baby.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."
