1978 Pontiac Formula Firebird with numbers matching 350 CI Chevy V8. Back in those days GM put different GM motors in all of their brands, this car happened to get a Chevy 350. The engine has a new alternator, water pump, belts/hoses, edelbrock air gap intake, edelbrock 650 CFM 4 BBL carb, headers, ignition parts and battery. This car was originally a 4 speed but somebody replaced it with a TH350 auto trans. Transmission was cleaned and flushed and I installed a B&M quicksilver shifter, the shifter fits nicely in the stock console. The car has new tires, front brakes, wheels bearings and front shocks. The paint and interior are about a year old and look very nice. The paint is a base coat/clear coat system. The entire exhaust system was replaced and new flowmaster mufflers were installed,,,,,sounds great. The car has power steering and power brakes but does not have air conditioning. I use the car as a weekend driver and take it to the occasional car show, it runs and drives very nicely. The car is 95% complete. Some little things need to be done to finish: Dome light connected, speedo reads incorrect, fan motor, new radio installed (I have one and comes with the car), fuel gauge is inoperative and new door glass installed. I have the new windows still in the boxes and they come with car, I never got around to installing them. To make the window installation easier, I installed the door panels with only the arm rests holding them in place. They are sturdy but can be removed easily to replace the glass. If you plan on driving the car home, I would recommend having someone with an SUV/truck come along because I don't think both windows in their boxes will fit in the car. This is a real car that I'm really trying to sell. I've set a very realistic reserve price, well below $9K. Most hard core car show people would call this car a "driver" while the average person would think it's an excellent car. When I take the car out I get alot of waves, thumbs up, compliments or the occasional "I had a Firebird in High School" story. This car took about a year to do in my spare time. I do this as a hobby and it's time to find a new project, that's why I'm selling. I've included a few pictures of the car before paint and during restoration to give you an idea of the condition before I got it. It was basically a rust free car that needed very little body work. Happy bidding, thanks. |

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari Wagon
Wed, May 27 2020The Detroit station wagon was fast losing sales to minivans and trucks as the decade of the 1980s progressed, but Pontiac shoppers still had plenty of choices as late as the 1988 model year. A visit to a Pontiac dealership in 1988 would have presented you with three sizes of wagon, from the little Sunbird through the midsize 6000 and up to the mighty Parisienne-based Safari. Today's Junkyard Gem is a luxed-up 6000 LE, complete with "wood" paneling, found in a car graveyard in Fargo, North Dakota. Confusingly, the "Safari" name in 1988 was used by Pontiac to designate both a specific model — the wagon version of the Parisienne/Bonneville— and as the traditional Pontiac designation for a station wagon. That meant that the wagon we're looking at now was a Safari but not the Safari in the 1988 Pontiac universe. The 6000 lived on the GM A-Body platform, as the Pontiac-badged version of the Chevrolet Celebrity. Production ran from the 1982 through 1991 model years, with the A-Body Buick Century surviving all the way through 1996. The LE trim level came between the base 6000 and the gloriously complex 6000 STE (which wasn't available in wagon form, sadly). I visited this yard in Fargo after judging at the Minneapolis 500 24 Hours of Lemons in Brainerd, Minnesota, last fall. Up to that point, I had visited 47 of the Lower 48 United States, with just North Dakota remaining, so I made a point of doing a Fargo detour in order to check that state off my list. I'm pleased that I found such a good example of the 1982-1996 GM A-Body in this yard, because the most famous of all the A-Bodies is the 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera driven to Brainerd by the inept Fargo-based kidnappers in the film "Fargo." This Minnesota-plated 6000 had some rust, but just negligible levels by Upper Midwestern standards on a 31-year-old car. The interior looked very good, with the original owner's manual still inside. The 6000 LE boasted "redesigned contoured seats and London/Empress fabric," which sounds pretty swanky. Something less swanky lives under the hood: an Iron Duke 2.5-liter pushrod four-cylinder engine, known as the Tech 4 by 1988. The Iron Duke was, at heart, one cylinder bank of the not-quite-renowned Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8; while fairly rugged, the Duke ran rough (typical of large-displacement straight-four engines) and made just 98 horsepower in this application. Pontiac offered a couple of optional V6s in the 6000 in 1988, but no Quad 4.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
