1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible on 2040-cars
Blythewood, South Carolina, United States
|
Absolutely gorgeous 1968 Pontiac Firebird convertible. Fully restored 6
years ago and continuously maintained and kept in enclosed garage. All of the
following were replaced new: interior, seat covers, door panels, carpet and
mats, wooden steering wheel, chrome rear bumper, coils, springs, shocks, black
top and top motor, trunk liner and headlamps. This California classic has standard A/C, 273 posi rear, 4 disc brakes,
power steering and a new fuel pump/filter. The underside looks great with nice
undercoat. New power top is easy to use and works perfectly. Has Alpine
radio/cd player and alarm system. Wood grain center console. The motor in this car is beautiful! Restored with a 60k mile 5.7L (347.8 cu
in) LT1-V8 engine out of a 1993 Z-28. The motor alone was over $6,000.
Noticeably more horsepower than original 350 or 400 engines. Runs very strong
and puts off a vicious sounding exhaust. See below for more information on LT1
technology. It is missing the ashtray in the console rear section ($50 eBay), and A/C
fan is complete but not hooked up. Who needs A/C when you have a convertible?! As is where is, buyer responsible for shipping costs. Best of luck bidding!! LT1 In 1992, GM created a new-generation small block engine called the LT1,
recalling the 1970 LT1 moniker. It displaced 5.7 liters and was a 2-valve
pushrod design. The LT1 used a reverse-flow cooling system which cooled the
cylinder heads first, maintaining lower cylinder temperatures and allowing the
engine to run at a higher compression than its immediate predecessors. The
1992-93 LT1s used speed density fuel manangement, batch-fire injection and a
dedicated engine control module (EMC). |

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If 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.
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.
