1969 Pontiac Firebird 400/400 Convertible Windward Blue 3.55 Posi Rally Cluster on 2040-cars
Huntley, Illinois, United States
1969 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible Real Deal Windward Blue (Code 87) Parchment Deluxe Interior (Code 217) Factory Hood Tach Rally II Redline Tire Car PY TH-400 Trans White Top (New) 60000 ACTUAL MILES, Paperwork and history confirm mileage, comes with a ACTUAL MILEAGE TITLE This is a very nice example of what a 1969 Firebird 400/400 car should be. This is a all original body panel uncut car from best I can tell. This is absolutely NOT a bondo bucket or abused, neglected car. This is a car that has been lovingly maintained over the years. The car is largely original. The top was replaced recently as well as both lift cylinders and convertible top pump at that time. Fit and finish on this car is great. The floors and trunk pan are free of rot and rust. The rear frame rails, shock towers are all excellent. The pinch weld on the rockers is very nice, with the spot welds clearly evident. The doors have excellent definition of the shell to skin, with no blistering or other rust issues evident. I removed the door panels to investigate for rust on the inside of the skin, none evident. The bottom of the quarter panels have spot welds evident indicating to me no bondo in the 1/4 panels. The trunk floor and drop offs are both excellent. The car has a correct 400 engine, however it is a warranty replacement block. Indicated by a R where the VIN # should be on the passenger side front of the block, next to the timing cover. The car runs and drives great, with no overheating, pulling, or unusual noises. The rear end is coded for a 3.55 posi, no noise or issues with the rear end. The interior on the car is FANTASTIC! Deluxe interior! No issues whatsoever! Looks like it was never sat in. All lights, signals, ect. work as they should. I am in the process of replacing the headlight switch, as it is temperamental, and I am extremely picky with my cars. It will be replaced before the buyer picks up the car. This car is VERY straight, with excellent gaps and fitment. The paint on the car has had one repaint in correct Windward Blue. The paint is great for a driver, with no rust bubbles or anything like that. However once again I am extremely picky…and the paint does have some imperfections from age. Overall, a very solid, honest example of a Firebird 400. Not a perfect car, but not priced as such either. Car is for sale locally and auction may be ended at anytime. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WELCOME!

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."
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
