I purchased this car to fulfill one of my dreams.  I always wanted one and I have enjoyed working on it and driving it.  But I also have a growing family and will need to buy a larger house.  So, I need to turn this car into some cash.  I will be listing this locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction if I find a buyer.

The Good:
This is a solid, complete, virtually rust free car.  The numbers matching 400 runs smooth and strong.  It has a new Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke carb.  I also have a holley double pumper no choke that will go with the car.  The TH400 transmission is not numbers matching, but period correct, and it shifts great also.  I believe it has a 3.55 rear end which is not original to the car.  It has a new aluminum radiator and runs reliably cool.  I also have the original Harrison radiator to go with the car as well.  Much of the work I have done to the car was to improve reliability and safety.  First, I replaced the lap belts in the front with a 3 point retractables and put lap belts in the rear, all with period correct GM buckles.  I replaced the 4 drums with power disk brakes on all corners.  It stops like a new car, maybe better.  I also rewired the car with an American Autowire Power 20 kit.  At the same time, I added power door locks, a viper alarm, keyless entry, and remote start system, and power trunk release.  The door locks are centrallized, meaning there are no switches.  When you move one door stopper, the other moves with it.  I could not bring myself to cut the door panels to add switches.  I also added a Retrosound radio with USB (USB is in the glove box) and Polk Audio speakers all around.  The rear 6x9s fit in the back deck and new custom kick panels hold 6 1/2s up front.  I slightly relocated the parking brake to keep it functional with the new speakers.  I still have the original kick panels if you want to take them out.  Dakota Digital analog VHX gauges in the cluster are new and very nice and clean.  While rewiring the car, I also put in a new battery, a 140 amp one wire alternator, and replaced the starter with high performance guts.  This is a factory AC car, but the AC is not hooked up.  There is a134A compressor on the car, but I did not make it that far.  And now I never will.  It looks new, but it is untested.  Everything else electrically works as it should.  I also have a brand new semi custom car cover to go along with it and some miscellaneous parts, such as an extra fan and fan clutch in case you want to swap out the flex fan.  The interior shows very well with no rips or tears in the seats, panels, or carpet.  It may not be perfect, but it is very good.  The paint is good but not excellent.  My goal was eventually to put a very high quality paint job on this car, but never made it that far.  I would say this car is a 10 footer.  American Racing wheels and the tires have about 65% tread left.  The car also has air shocks in the rear.  This is a very good and smooth riding car that goes and stops well.

The Bad:  This is an original vinyl top car. There are some small spots starting to form under the top.  They are not growing in size as the top is still sealed fairly well, but it will probably need to be replaced soon.

The Ugly:  The headliner needs some work.  I replaced the old smelly insulation in the roof with some foil type insulation from a hardware store.  It keeps the heat down and got rid of the old car smell, but I did not do a professional job replacing the headliner.  It is there and complete so maybe someone could do a better job than me.  Headliners are not that expensive anyway, just not at the top of my list.  The mileage on the car is unknown.  It showed 6700 miles on the odometer when I purchased it and that is what I loaded in the DD gauges when I powered them up.  It has about 7400 or so miles now.  The hood does not close fully at the back.  It may need new hinges or just an adjustment, not sure

I also have the 67 Pontiac Service Manual and PHS documentation to go along with the car.  I am sure there are other miscellaneous items as well that I am forgetting to mention.

I have more pictures and can answer questions upon request.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird

Sat, May 9 2020

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan

Sun, Jun 28 2020

The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.
