1996 Pontiac Firebird 6 Cyl With T-tops!!! on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
Up for auction is a 1996 Pontiac Firebird with T-tops and a 6 cylinder engine. This car is beautiful inside and out and it runs great. The car starts right up (it has a brand new battery), the automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the engine has lots of power. This car is in great mechanical condition-- I brought it to Tom's Auto in Barnhart last week to have it looked over before selling it, and Tom said the car is in great shape. The brakes and tires are in good condition and the paint job on the car looks really good. I've driven the car to Chicago multiple times so it's traveled long distances without any issues. This car turns a lot of heads when you drive it around town, especially if you take the T-tops off. The interior of the car is in great condition as well-- it feels like you're stepping into a new car. There are 142,001 miles on the car, and I do not drive the car during the winter (I put it in storage). In addition to the photos, I made several videos of the car. Here is a link to a video of: the car's engine starting http://youtu.be/tUtAnYV4k28 the car's exterior http://youtu.be/58xKc65pU_4 the car's interior http://youtu.be/WJODmI5WKvA driving the car http://youtu.be/vJKzBV3ZW2c the car's T-tops http://youtu.be/qgxhnvkJxLg the car's trunk http://youtu.be/yZMkQwMYC68 As you can see from the pictures and video, this car is clean inside and out and runs great. I purchased a new stereo about a year ago so the volume buttons on the steering wheel are no longer linked to the volume on the stereo (instead, you use the volume buttons on the stereo itself). The car has cruise control, power windows, power door locks, ABS brakes, and there is a spot in the trunk where you can slide the T-tops into place when you take them off. If you want a nice sports car that will turn heads and run great, this is it. The car is parked in my driveway in Barnhart, Missouri and you are welcome to come out for a test drive before the auction is over. Barnhart is located about 30 minutes south of downtown St. Louis, near a town called Arnold, Missouri. Just send me a message on eBay and we can arrange a time for you to come out and see the car. I am sad to see this car go, but my wife's student loans have come due and I no longer have the luxury of owning a cool sports car. I hope the person who wins the auction enjoys the car as much as I did! It is a lot of fun to take the T-tops off on a nice summer day and go for a cruise around town. Note: If you win the auction, I ask that you get in touch with me within 24 hours to arrange to pay for the car and pick it up. |

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
