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! Call 312 622 7533 with any questions or concerns...or to just talk Pontiacs! VIDEO POSTED BELOW MAY BE VIEWABLE FROM YOUR SMART PHONE! |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag
Wed, Feb 20 2019Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
