Up for auction is a 4-speed 1968 Firebird with a small-block 350 engine and Cragar wheels.  This car runs and drives great.  I am selling the car because I am moving to another country for work and will not be able to store the car in the U.S.  I have had a lot of work done to this car over the past few years so here is a list:

Rebuilt transmission with less than 100 miles on it (4-speed manual Saginaw)
New floor pans and floor work
New interior carpet
New rear seat shelf
New headliner
New sail panels
New radiator
New thermostat
New battery tray
New hoses
New window cranks
New seat belts
New front, side, and rear moldings
New sill plates
New emergency brake system
New radiator fan and fan belt
Miscellaneous (spark plugs and wires, fuses, battery cables, coil pack, etc.)

New parts purchased but not yet installed:
Lock cylinders (ignition, driver and passenger doors, trunk)
Rear side panels (interior)
Armrest pads
Dome lamp
Part of the ignition key broke off inside the ignition lock cylinder, so I bought a new lock cylinder but didn't get time to install it. The same goes for the lock cylinder on the trunk. I still use the broken keys to start the car or open the trunk, but I'll give you the new lock cylinders so you can install them if you want. I also purchased new lock cylinders for the driver and passenger side door since one of the lock cylinders doesn't work.  I bought brand new rear side panels for the interior but didn't get the chance to install them, so I will give them to the winning bidder as well.  The current dome lamp works but I have a brand new one I'll be giving you as well.  I have a used pair of armrests and a brand new pair of armrest pads that are not yet installed as well.  The winning bidder will receive all of these new parts, some of which are still in the box they came in when I bought them.  I buy almost all of my parts from Classic Industries. 

The floor:
The floor is solid and ready to go.  I invested thousands to make sure it was in tip-top shape.  I had the work done by a shop that has a lot of experience with classic cars and hot rods.  Every time they encountered an issue with the floor and asked me what to do, I had them fix it.  I can give you the name of the shop in case you'd like to reach out to them.

Videos of the car:
The engine starting and running http://youtu.be/v3fZwvZcQ9g 
The body of the car http://youtu.be/lSa6ac3ynrM
The interior of the car http://youtu.be/hGNZTODqMBM


Receipts:
I've kept all the receipts and can provide them upon request.  I would also be happy to provide you with the name and phone number of my mechanic, who gave the car a tune-up last month.  

Issues:
Most of the work that remains to be done has to do with the fenders, rocker panels, paint job, etc.  (see the video I made for close-ups of the body)
Here are some additional things:
Gauges aren't working
Back tail light burnt out
Headlights aren't working
No windshield wiper blades
No radio
The interior rear view mirror and driver side exterior rear view mirror are not yet installed (I have them here but haven't put them on yet-- I will give them to the winning bidder)
Tear in driver's seat


Photos/videos:
I am including a large number of photos as well as videos of the car so you can have a pretty good idea of what it's like before you bid.  Also, you are welcome to come out for a test drive before you buy the car.

$200 Deposit required:
I am requesting a $200 deposit within 24 hours of the auction close to ensure the winning bidder is serious, with no exceptions.  I am moving out of the country and cannot afford to deal with non-paying bidders or people who just want to kick the tires. 

Let me know if you have questions about the vehicle.  The car is in the St. Louis region and you are welcome to come out and see it anytime before the auction closes. 
Good luck in the auction!

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition

Tue, Aug 29 2017

The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

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.
