This first year 1967 Firebird Convertible is an older restoration that has held up nicely. It has great driving manners and has that original high performance feel. It has not been hacked up, and retains the appeal of a factory stock type car.The body, frame rails and floors are totally solid. This car would appeal to someone who would like to drive it immediately as is, or take it to the nest level with new paint.
Mechanically, this car performs great. The engine pulls strongly, does not smoke, and the 4 speed shifts smoothly. It is a very smooth and easy car to drive, no bad habits. The power drum brake system works great, and the power steering feels tight. I drive the car regularly (it is one of my favorites in the shop), and would drive it with confidence anywhere. -The body is solid with no rust. -Solid floors, and frame rails. The car was undercoated, and is dirty underneath with some surface scale in places, but there is no rot anywhere. The rockers and pinch welds are in great shape and original. -The panel fit is very good, and the overall condition of the body is excellent, not a bondo car. -The paint is old, probably 12 years. It has micro cracks, chips, and defects consistent with an older restoration that has been driven. Please don’t buy this car and complain about the paint, the pictures make it look better than it is. I have no trouble driving this car with pride, and a new paintjob would be very easy as the body is nice and straight. -The paint code “Q” is Verdoro Green, now Maroon Metallic. -Has a brand new manual Convertible top, pads, and seals. -Could use new door seals as they are dry. -All glass in very good condition, side glass goes up and down real smoothly and is nicely aligned. -Trim is all present and of good quality. -Trunk is in very good condition, no rust, has spare tire, mat, cocktail shakers, and jack. -The 350ci “YN” code engine is from a 1968 Firebird, and has the 4 bbl carb setup. I have driven this car, and a 400ci car, and I can’t tell the difference from a performance standpoint (the 400 only has 5 more HP). -It starts quickly, idles smoothly, and pulls right up to redline. –Power Steering and Factory Power Brakes. -400 series hood. -The rear differential has the factory traction bars (all V8 Firebirds had this). -The 4 speed transmission shifts smoothly, and the clutch take up is gentle. - Dual Exhaust with headers. -New 205/70/14 BFG radial tires. -New PMD Rally wheels and trim rings. Interior: -Factory Console. Owner’s manual in glove box. -Dash in excellent condition. -Original 3 spoke “Energy Absorbing” Pontiac steering wheel. -All gauges and horn work fine. -Interior seems mostly original and in very good condition. -Newer Carpets -Drivers seat has a small defect, see pictures. -Original Delco AM radio still works fine. -2 speed wipers, interior lights, 3 speed blower fan all work great.

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
Classic Pontiac Trans Am Firebird Super Duty 455 sells for nearly $90,000
Fri, Aug 25 2023Historically, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am raised the performance levels a notch or two over a plain Firebird in the muscle car hierarchy of the Sixties. But the Super Duty 455 version of the Trans Am — that number represents the cubic inches of the hand-assembled V8 engine — moved the performance needle big time in 1974. So much so that a clean example of the machine sold recently on the Hagerty Marketplace auction site for $89,296. Advertised with just under 54,000 miles on the clock and having undergone a thorough restoration, the Buccaneer Red model was one of just 943 Pontiac Firebirds equipped with the Super Duty 455 package for the 1974 model year. That build had also been offered in 1973. The Hagerty listing drew more than 21,000 views and 39 bids. According to Hagerty's valuation report, a similar car would be worth $85,700 in good condition, and $103,000 if it was in ‘“concours condition.” The Super Duty motor borrowed technology from the lineÂ’s 366-cubic-inch NASCAR engine, and featured heavy-duty connecting rods and an entirely new block with a revised crankshaft and heads to deliver a claimed 310 horsepower. The Firebird that sold was indeed loaded, with a three-speed Hydra-matic transmission (which surely reduced its overall value), power locks and windows, AC, dual exhausts, heavy duty stabilizer bars all around, and a “custom Interior trimmed in Red perforated Morrokide vinyl upholstery.” The entry of PontiacÂ’s pony car in the U.S., facing off against the Mustang and Camaro, dates back to 1967, when it was offered with an inline six and optional V8. The first Trans Ams were introduced two years later, the name derived from a handling package. General Motors ceased production of new Pontiacs in 2002 owing to declining sales and losing stakes in the sports coupe market. The big 455-cid V-8 had disappeared years earlier.
