this firebird is not a show car just yet, it needs some work to make it perfect but still a great daily driver on good condition for its age. this car has been my daily driver but i no longer have enough money to keep her. the engine is an Oldsmobile v6 with a 4 barrel carb,  i don't know if its the original engine, ( some Pontiacs at this time had Oldsmobile engines originally ) it runs good and starts every time, it doesent do terible on gas considering the year it was made, still very torquey for a v6. the th 350 automatic transmission shifts perfectly. currently has only 61,413k miles, the TX registration is good until 6/14. 2nd owner since purchased new in California, Ive put more than $2,000 in her since purchased,
Pros:
- new alternator in 2012
- new fuel pump in 2013
- new u joints in 2012
- re-pained dark blue in 2011
- new turn signal relay 2013
- new upholstery in 2013
- new carpet in 2012
- replaced tires in 2013, they still have lots of tread
- custom sunroof with removable glass
- rebuilt transmission in 2013
- front brake rotors re-surfaced in 2014
- new battery in 2014
- pioneer radio with cd, usb, aux interface
- full tune up in 2012 ( new spark plugs, wires, timing, belts, thermostat, carburetor rebuilt )
- AC works ( not perfect ) has been recharged/ retrofitted to R-134a
- exhaust from a 400 firebird put in 2013 ( sounds awesome )
- trans am firebird fender scoops
- radiator and gas tank cleaned out in 2012
- all fluids replaced ( antifreeze, motor oil, trans. fluid, power steering, brake fluid, gear oil in rear end )

Cons:
- reverse lights don't work
- cruise control dosent work
- paint has small chips throughout that have been touched up
- currently has no headliner or dome lamp
- front nose has some minor damage ( shown in pictures )
- side door windows and driver side sunroof don't seal properly and leak water at the car wash
- engine shakes at about 1500 rpm's but is smooth at any other rpm range, i believe the carburetor just needs adjustment/ tuning but i don't know as i haven't looked into it yet.

overall this is a great car with lots of potential and i would love to keep her if i could. i reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
