1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible
#'s Match YT engine never removed, albeit lightly detailed.
#'s correct TH-400 Transmission
Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top
This 1967 Firebird is just out of private collection and subsequestly up for sale. It is a correct code R-1 Regimental Red car with correct red interior. The interior is completely original in unrestored fantastic shape. The only cosmetic defect being a crack in the door panel which is pictured. The original AM radio and dash bezel is included in the auction, as well as the original parade boot. The steering wheel is free of cracks which is pretty rare on these deluxe wheels. All guages lights, horn, ect. work as they should.
The car was built the last week of June 1967 per the trim tag, the original YT motor was cast 2 weeks prior. The code on the trans is correct as well as the intake manifold. I have not checked the distributor, ect. The car appears to be largely unmolested, with the exception of a repaint in its original hue sometime around 1985, per prior owner. The prior owner kept the car garaged for the past 20 years using it sparingly to hop around town in the summer, which is evident by the owner verified 57,000 miles.
The front and rear subframes are in excellent rust free shape. The pinchwelt on the rocker panels is crisp with no evidence of rust between the inner/outer rocker where these cars commonly rust swell. It appears at the time the car was painted the rear quarter panels were changed, and they did a fine job. The trunk appears to be very solid and not pictured but included are the spare and jack. All 4 cocktail shakers are in place. The shock towers are original and appear to be rust free.
The paint is old, albeit looks perfect from 10 feet away, but as you get up close you can start to see some "crows feet" in places in the paint as well as touched up chips, ect. However, it is still great paint for a driver. The convertible top is BRAND new, and the car has freshly blasted and detailed rally II wheels with a new set of quality tires.
This car is not a "bondo bucket" or a body shop special. It is however, a nice original car holding excellent pedigree.
I am a advid Firebird collector and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find #'s matching 400 convertibles. The issue is this, if you start out with a "was a 400 car" or a "I put a 400 in it", your car will never be worth what a #'s matching car is worth. Truth be told the asking price on this car is higher than "some" of the other Firebirds for sale...but it is a real deal car, and not some doctored up clone.
The car fires right up and runs great with no unusual smoke or rattles, and drives great at 75mph down the highway. This is a very tight original car, and not some thrown together rattle box.
This is a great car you can enjoy "as-is" without putting any money into it. Sure, it is by no means perfect, but it is a very nice car with excellent provenance.
This car is for sale locally and this auction is subject to being ended at anytime. You are free to call me and discuss a "buy it now" price that I can add to the auction.
I have over 250+ positive feedback, however this is a new user ID for my business.

1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car
Mon, Nov 30 2020Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video: Â Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

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.
