The Story--
In the spring of 1967 a lady doctor drove past Bill Rapp Pontiac in Syracuse,NY and saw a yellow convertible in the showroom window. She turned her 190SL around went back to the dealer and traded in her Mercedes Benz on this yellow Firebird 400 convertible. This was her nice weather" fun car". She drove this 3-4000 miles a year for 10 years, then her father drove it for 2 years. In 1979 it was driven in and parked in a metal building and has not been touched since. The doctor passed away in 2004. The car is now owned by her sister and has never before been offered for sale. Since it has always been in the same family, the buyer will be the second owner. The Car-- This is a nicely equipped 1967 Firebird 400 convertible. The mileage is correct at 42,867. It has never been abused, modified, hot-rodded, or chopped in any way. Only 2 adults have driven this car. All of the original equipment is in place. It has never been taken apart and the car was running in 1979 when it was parked. Unfortunately it was improperly stored. Nothing was done to preserve the car. The paint is completely oxidized with the exception of the inside trunk lid as shown in the photos. Mice have been in the interior. Insulation and wiring have been chewed through by rodents. There are 3 small missing parts; the 2 "Firebird" emblems on the front fenders and the "400" emblem on the trunk lid. Other than these 3 minor parts the car is 100% complete including all 4 wheel covers, owner's manual and Pontiac floor mats. The doors, hood and trunk all open and close properly. All of the glass is intact. "Hockey Sticks" are on the grill. The floorpans and the trunk floor appear to be solid. The subframe looks solid but needs bushings where it meets the body. The fuel tank was replaced before the car was stored. This car should have a complete "nut & bolt" restoration. The car is rusty and has a few minor dents as shown in the photos. Car comes with complete documentation from Pontiac Historic Services (PHS). This includes copies of the build sheet, special equipment, window sticker and other pertinent information. It is very unusual to find a 100% original complete and numbers-matching muscle car like this. This is absolutely not a clone. This Firebird deserves a quality restoration. The Terms-- The buyer is responsible for removing the car and transportation. This is a true auction with a low starting price and NO RESERVE. Please, no dreamers or tire-kickers. Don't try to dazzle me with your knowledge, I know Pontiacs. Please, no low-ball offers. I have been accurate, honest, and complete in describing this car, but if you have any questions please email me or call (315)447-8730 8AM-8PM eastern time. THANK YOU |

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags
Sat, Jan 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6
Sat, Sep 12 2020What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.
