I've got a 1979 pontiac firebird project. a previous owner turned it into an early 70's formula clone..sort of?.. The body is decent, whoever did the bodywork did a halfway decent job of it. the engine compartment has been cleaned up and painted..also a halfway decent job. The carpet is nice, inner door, and interior panels are fair. The racing buckets are included in the auction. The trunk pan is rusted pretty bad, someone cut half of it out and mounted a plastic fuel cell in there, the floors..are so-so I poked my head under and looked, I did see surface rust, but no big rotten holes . I would assume they need replacing if you're doing a restoration..but they are passable, or patchable enough for a drag car, or rat rod type project. The subframes seem pretty solidly attached to the floors still. The nose is probably the most valuable part of the car, and is in fair condition, however..the formula hood...some clown cut a 14" hole in the center of it. It looks like it would be centered right for a tall aircleaner to stick up through..if thats your thing.. the hood also doesn't match the fenders exactly..it needs to be a 3/4 to an inch longer for proper body lines.

It has factory aluminum snowflake mags, but the tires are garbage. they'll hold air long enough for you to load it, and move it around. the car rolls, and steers fine, but has absolutely no brakes. inside the trunk are most of the body pieces, spoilers, grills, fender vents, and flares. along with some of the window trim. no motor, or tranny. The instrument panel is missing, along with the console, there is a pretty rough looking aftermarket shifter in the car though. You'll need a new windshield, but the rest of the glass is good.

She's almost a basket case as far as full restoration possibilities, but this would be cheap and easy to go drag racing. Or just making noise cruising the streets. There's a Holley electric fuel pump mounted under the trunk..no Idea whether it's any good or not..consider it a bonus if it works..lol

I'm setting the reserve real low on this. And shipping is full responsibility of THE BUYER. I will help air up the tires, and move the car to a wide open area for easy pickup. Bring a winch or help to push it onto your trailer. $200 deposit due at end of auction PAYPAL ONLY, Full payment within 10 days. payment can be paypal, cash, or GOOD CHECK. if you pay with a check, i'll hold the title until the check clears.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction

Sat, Apr 4 2020

Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction. As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country. In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer. The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
