1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am convertible clone

I am selling my 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am convertible clone.  We have owned this car for over 8 years and have enjoyed driving it on weekends.  This car always gets thumbs up when driving around town. I have put it in a couple of local shows and won best in show.  VIN shows it as a 1969 Firebird that came out of Pontiac's Norwood, Ohio plant.  It was shipped to Charlie Kittle Pontiac in Memphis, Tennessee on July 13, 1969.  I have a set of PHS documents that I can email to anyone who would like to see them.  My wife and I are building a new house and the sale of this car go towards that effort.  

Please read the description thoroughly and I will try to walk you through the condition, etc.
This car was previously posted here a few months ago. I have made several updates since then.

Updates Include:  
1.  New period correct deluxe wood steering wheel with PMD horn cap (disregard other wheels in photos)
2.  Horn has been fixed
3.  Turn signal canceling cam has been fixed
4.  Windshield washer pump has been fixed correct washer bottle added
5.  Correct black PMD center caps and black lug nuts have been added
6.  Front driver's seat has all new foam and springs
7.  High speed setting on A/C fan has been fixed (fuse)
8.  A/C has been charged and is blowing cold air
9.  Small dime sized hole in trunk was patched and trunk was repainted in correct splatter.

Exterior:  Paint is in good shape, hood is fiberglass with Trans Am stripes that are painted on these are NOT decals.  The hood scoops are not functional but are cut out. It has exterior air extractors on the front quarter panels (these are non-functional).  I have included a photo of two or three very small rust bubbles about the size of your pinky fingernail on the lower area of drivers side door. All exterior lights work and top (dark blue) is nearly brand new, has working power antenna.  I have only had the top up 3 or 4 times in 8 years, it is electric and works perfectly, rear window is plastic. Chrome is in good shape as are the Rally II wheel set that have the correct black PMD center caps, black lug nuts and deep dish chrome rings.  Tires all have good tread. Small oil drip which is common for cars of this age.  Working hood tach with "Pontiac" emblazened on face which lights up.  All glass is good with no cracks, floors and all metal under the back seat is in good shape with no rust.  Other then the rust mentioned above I cannot see any other rust on the metal of this car. 

Interior:  No tears in seats or carpets, has blue Firebird floor mat set, dash is good and not cracked, burlwood dash and center console.  Interior courtesy lights work, it has a new glovebox and all new seat cushions and springs for the driver's side front seat.  Emergency brake works, high beams work glove box and center console all open and close as they should.  This car has the correct deluxe wood wheel with "PMD" horn cap, the horn and turn signals/flashers all work perfectly. (Disregard photos showing other steering wheels I left those in to show interior photos.) I have an Audiosound aftermarket AM/FM cassette player with Mp3 connection that fits in the hole where the existing AM radio used to be. This car has tilt wheel with working cigarette lighter. Seatbelts in the front appear to be original rear seat belts were installed by me.  Working aftermarket oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge as shown in the photos. Seats all slide and headrests work as they should. Speedometer and odometer both work.  Spare tire and spare tire cover along with trunk liner are all included.

Engine/Transmission:  I have owned 6 Trans Ams and have not been real familiar with engine types beyond how many cubic inches it has.  This car came to me badged as a 428, the engine block numbers are as follows and are in the photo section as well.  (0739793 YH) VIN # on block does not match VIN number on the dash.  This car is an automatic Turbo Hydromatic 350 which shifts and drives fine. We drive it almost every weekend.  It has R-12 factory air system which has been charged and is blowing cold air. It has an oversized aluminum radiator with two electric cooling fans.  Temp rises if you sit in traffic for a long time but doesn't go above 200.  Car runs at about 165-175 degrees around town. This engine is very reliable and has never left me stranded it always starts and always runs.  It has a good sounding exhaust with aluminum headers, no holes or exhaust leaks.  Engine has a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor and is very clean under the hood.  Odometer says 59,304 not sure if that is correct but odometer does work.  The car is fast and accelerates nicely. If you look at the underside of the car you can see it that this car has a good clean underside with front disc brakes rear drum brakes.  This car was gone through about 9 years ago and looks very clean under the hood and the underside in general.  Fuel tank is clean and had a new sending unit installed about a year ago.  It has a 10 bolt main


Payment must be in the form of a cashiers check, money order or cash. In the case of a cashiers check it must clear my bank before I will release the car.  I have a clean title in my hand.  Please let the auction run its course before asking what I would take for the car. I have 100% feedback and I am honest, I hope you are as well.  The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull this ad if it sells.  These (clones) are getting harder to find I searched for a while before I found this one.

If you would like additional photos of a particular area please message me through eBay and I will do my best to get them to you.  I also have a Dropbox account that has additional photos and video. Please message me through eBay for the website if you would like to see those.

NOTE: Some older photos show the car without a hood tach, with red wheel caps and Formula steering wheel.  It currently has a functioning hood tach, correct black PMD wheel caps and a period correct deluxe wood wheel (the blue one with the PMD center cap).

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer

Mon, Apr 20 2020

It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.      Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean — yes, him —  gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.
