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). |

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
