Make: Pontiac
Drive Type: automatic

Mileage: 194,435

Up for bid is a 1973 Pontiac Firebird with Trans Am rear wing that has been transformed into a Formula 400 Firebird. It houses a Pontiac 400 with 7K3 heads and automatic transmission. It has the Formula hood and the Rally II wheels on BF Goodrich tires which were purchased just before I purchased it. Tires have not been abused and are still like new. The car started life in California as a 6 cylinder car and was a lighter shade of blue on the exterior. The car was showing its age virtually rust free when someone rear ended the car lightly but it was enough the insurance company totaled it. The car was bought back and was then sold to the owner in Ohio which spent about $15000 into redoing the car. There was a small surface rust spot on rear quarter lip about the size of an egg which was sanded and removed. The trunk floor was flattened out but not perfect. The formula hood was purchased. The car was sanded down and repainted in dark blue. He installed a Pontiac 400 after painting it Rustoleum red so the paint wouldn’t chip. The motor has 7K3 heads. The paint is about a 8 out of 10. There is a spot by door handle that was burned through the clear coat while buffing. The hood has some paint bubbles from paint separation due to the prep work on the fiberglas hood. There are some minor cracks in paint on the endure nose. Overall though the cars paint is nice and is driver quality but better than a lot of paint jobs I’ve seen already. There was an aftermarket stereo in it when I looked at it which disappeared from the car before picking it up and I never replaced it so the cut radio hole remains but dash is nice otherwise. The driver’s seat has a split seam on seat area and a small rip on top of back seat. There are blue neon lights under the front and side rockers of car. Although it is cool in some eyes, it is easily removable if it isn’t to your taste. Battery, fuel pump , fan, door sill plates, KYB shocks on rear and rear package tray were replaced since I bought it. I’ve had it since June 2010. I drove the car from Ohio to Pa. when I bought it. It has been driven to several long distance shows since. It is a fun car that gets attention when it goes to shows. Buyer is expected to pay all tax, tags and transfer fees. Buyer is expected to pick up the car within 10 days of auction end unless other arrangements are made with me the seller. This car is being sold as is with no warranty of any kind. I have listed this cars condition as true and correct as possible. If you are local and would like to view the car prior to bidding just ask and we will work out a time. I reserve the right to end the auction early as car has been listed locally. |

GM's got 107 problems and NHTSA's No. 1
Thu, Mar 6 2014General Motors' problems with its recall of roughly 1.6-million vehicles continue to mount. Now that it has emerged that GM knew about the problem since at least 2004 but waited to recall vehicles until February 2014, regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have begun a much deeper investigation. NHTSA has sent a 27-page survey to GM that includes 107 questions about the timeline of what led up to the recall, and it has until April 3 to reply. This isn't a simple, multiple-choice test. Automotive News believes that hundreds of pages could be required to answer some of the queries. NHTSA says that it is still investigating GM's response to the recall. "We are a data-driven organization, and we will take whatever action is appropriate based on where our findings lead us," said NHTSA in a statement on its website. If found liable, the automaker could face a fine as high as $35 million and even possible criminal charges, according to Bloomberg. NHTSA's questions include a detailed explanation of GM's examination process; how it will improve the process; why a planned redesign of the cars' key in 2005 wasn't implemented; and specific data on each complaint it received. According to Bloomberg, NHTSA also has records that show the company had a meeting with regulators to discuss the airbag failure in a Chevrolet Cobalt in 2007. New GM CEO Mary Barra has also hired an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation about what happened. It will include questioning company employees who were involved with the process from the start. The recall stems from faulty ignition switches that shut off the car while driving, and if it occurs the airbags deactivate. Thirteen deaths and 23 crashes have been caused by the problem, according to Bloomberg. If you would like to peruse NHTSA's entire questionnaire for GM, it can be viewed here.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
