This is a 93 Pontiac Sunbird SE Convertible. The previous owner has diabetes and couldn't see well enough to drive and had to stop driving. He parked the car in his garage in 2004 and it has been there ever since. Please take a look at my YouTube video   http://youtu.be/cMwZnruEeN4 (Just copy and paste to your browser) for some reason Ebay would not allow a click-able link.

Upon taking possession of the car last month, I replaced the fuel tank with a new one. I also installed a new fuel pump, fuel gauge sender, fuel hoses in the fuel module, and all three fuel filters. I cleaned the fuel injectors, installed a new battery and it fired right up. I changed the oil (with Pennzoil synthetic blend) and installed a new oil filter. I changed the air filter and plug wires to bring the car back to excellent running condition. I will provide receipts for all the parts I bought. I have been a mechanic for 30+ years, so rest assured that all the work I did is by the book. The engine runs smooth with no abnormal noises and no leaks. The engine is tight and doesn't have any exhaust smoke, even in the morning after the first start. The Trans also shifts smooth without any abnormal problems, and also doesn't leak. All the lights work, the radio and cassette player work fine also. The car drives fine, brakes work good, dash lights all work. The spare tire, jack, and lug wrench are all in the trunk.
I also have some touch up paint I will include.

Now for the problems. Due to sitting for so long, the power windows are stiff and need to be cleaned and lubed. The driver side window works ok but the passenger window needs help to go up and down. The rear windows try to move but I can't get them all the way down. The switches and motors are all working, the windows are just very stiff from sitting because the grease on the regulators has hardened. The power top is not working, most likely due to dirty contacts (from non-use) in the switch although I have not looked into it. The power door locks also don't work probably because of dirty switch contacts. The tires are usable, but they are different brands and not in perfect condition. If I were going to keep the car I would put a new set of tires on it. The AC doesn't have any freon in it. It might seal up once it has freon and has been put back into service, although,
I cannot guarantee it. Often the hot oil circulating past the seals and o-rings causes them to soften and seal up.

I originally planned to repair most of the issues mentioned above, but I decided to offer the car for a lower price in case there were some buyers who preferred a lower price and who could take care of the remaining issues with the car on their own. I am willing to entertain an offer that includes the windows, door locks, power top, and AC working.

If the high bidder is from CA, I will get the car smog checked at a legitimate smog station and I will provide them with the receipt. Since the car will likely go out of state, I have not registered or smog tested it. Also, since the car has not been registered since 2004, it is no longer in the DMV computer, therefore, there are no back fees or penalties due. Out of state buyers will not have to worry about any of this. I will simply send you the title and a bill of sale.

If you have any questions...feel free to email me. I will respond promptly.

Thank you,
Josh

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile

Thu, Mar 26 2015

So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

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.
