Up for auction is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird base model. Don't let the outside fool you, the floors and structure of this car are solid.

FOR MORE PICTURES: Pictures

The car is not running, has been sitting since the late 80s. It will be years before I'd get a chance to build this so I'm going to offer it up for sale.

It's a 50 50 Paint code so it would be great for a Trans Am clone. Also has blue vinyl bucket seat interior and factory A/C with the big block A/C box under the hood.

The best part about this car is that it is basicly untouched and original with SOLID FLOOR AND TRUNK PANS. I believe the engine and automatic transmission are the original. Everything looks factory. The A/C compressor was taken off and is just laying in the engine bay. The condensor and box are still in place.I have not tried to start the engine.

The car definitely needs front fenders, rockers and quarter panels. I still have not figured out how the lower side of the exterior rusted to the extent that it has without the floors and trunk being rotted out. There is no bondo in the car. Someone at some point sprayed the car blue over top of the original white (same white as the 69 Trans Ams). The glass is all good, needs a cleaning. I've left the car pretty much how I found it, no cleaning or glamming it up.

The blue interior appears to be original. Driver's seat is in rough shape. Back seat should clean up really good, I haven't found any tears. The passenger seat has one seam busted on the shoulder towards the door. The carpet needs replaced, it's dry rotted. Need headliner. Door panels aren't terrible, I would reuse them for a driver style build. Needs the armrests replaced. Original steering wheel is a little sticky like most of them are.

Car has a 10-bolt rearend with the mutli-leaf springs.

I've tried to take a lot of good pictures of the car to show what's rusted and what isn't. I will be added a link a little later to more pictures. I believe I have around 48 total. If you are somewhat local and would like to come take a look at the car you are more than welcomed to.

Buyer responsible for pick up of the car. No shipping on my part. I prefer CASH. I will work with a certified check but the car will not leave here until the money has cleared the bank.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
