I should start by saying that if you are looking for a “fuel-saving car” you my friend, should keep looking. If you are looking for a short description of the beast before you, I can offer you two words “MEAT & POTATOES”. This is the All American chariot of the free world. You are not dealing with any ordinary, cookie cutter car. This thing was forged from a single block of all American Tungsten Steel. Real sturdy! From that day forward my life has never been the same. Winch yourself off that couch and see if you can handle this 1969 Pontiac Firebird. There are MANY reasons to love classic muscle cars. Most people drive them because they look good and sound cool. A lot of folks enjoy them because of the memories they've made in them. And some savvy collectors buy them based on numbers alone. Some just want to get some fresh a** poontang. Well, every once in a while a car like this awesome 1969 Pontiac Firebird comes along and presents the rare opportunity to bundle all of those attractive traits into one exceptionally cool package. It's a 1969 Pontiac-freaking-Firebird, so it automatically looks good and sounds massively awesome. Since it is some of the most storied American muscle ever built, I'm willing to bet everyone has at least one great memory of this car. However, this is no ordinary Firebird. It's a gorilla of a custom car, with the following upgrades performed on it: -Custom 522 HP 383 Stroker Engine -575 lb ft of brute power torque -Upgraded 10 bolt positraction rear end with 390 gears -Hurst shifter 4 speed muncie -4 custom drilled power disc brakes -Dakota coded digital dash -Recaro Sport Seats 20” Boss wheels & Hancook Ventus tires -Electric fan w/ auto thermostat -Custom traction bars -MSD Ignition w/ Redline rev-limiter 3” -Flowmasters with full Headers -Double center force clutch -LoJack system -Brilliant Metallic Silver paint -Brand new interior leather So if you are looking for a rice burning hatch back, a solar powered liberal mobile, or even a Hyundai crossover keep on looking my friend this thing is a piece of red white and blue Americana Machinery. This baby’s pulse is pumping sh*tloads liters of uncensored raw fuel through her eight nuclear power plant. The monstrous engine sounds is guaranteed to practically wake up your entire sissy as* neighborhood, so that's a fact you will have to live with as you proudly announce your arrival every time you come home. I have no idea what is the real MPG is on this thirsty leviathan, but I assure you it gulps on gas as if it was one of the cars from Mad Max desperate to outrun a nuclear missile. And oh boy, well worth it. And rest assured this is no metro feminine automatic. . .you command her to obey, with your calloused hand planted firmly on the Hurst manual shifter. And she will obey, the first time, every time. If you can’t handle your stick shifter, or reach the rock hard clutch pedal, you better not ferry skip over here wanting to test drive her. If you stall her out, you can count on getting hit in the face with a piece of re-bar and sent back where you came from. This monster has no A/C but are you kidding me….Really! If you want to blow the sweat off your brow, you do it the old fashioned way: Stick your head out while driving like a man. “What if it rains?”. . .You whiney b*tch! I told you to stop reading. . . Any man who drives this beast doesn’t give a damn about rain. The monstrous 522 hp engine is guaranteed to make you lose 30 lbs off your fat face anyway as you boil away while impressing the sh*t out of everyone you encounter driving this car.

Glad you asked…. 1. More chest hair.
5. You’re going to start wearing black leather jackets. Put your GPS back in your purse. Sounds good doesn’t it? This Firebird has carried me through 3,350 miles of sexy concrete twice as gruesome as the second half of the movie “Drive?. . ..And just like a trusty steed this juggernaut has never left me disappointed. But if you think you’re going to get to whip this mule you better pony up above my reserve price…...American Cash. I’m not selling you this car unless you are clearly a pure blooded American Species, so don’t even think about it. Good luck son. |

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac Vibe
Wed, Apr 17 2024Just over a month before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009, General Motors announced that the 83-year-old Pontiac Division would be "phased out" by the end of 2010. Only three Pontiac vehicles were sold as 2010 models in the United States: the Solstice, Vibe and G6 (new G3s were sold here during 2010 but they were all 2009 models, while the G5 was available as a 2010 model only in Canada and Mexico). Today's bit of junkyard automotive history is one of the very last Vibes ever built, found in a yard near Denver, Colorado. This car is significant not just as one of the final vehicles to bear Pontiac badges but also as one of the last cars built by the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated GM-Toyota joint venture in California, better known as NUMMI. The NUMMI factory began life as GM's Fremont Assembly, which built its first vehicle (a C-Series pickup) in 1963 and closed in 1982 after building its final vehicle (an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera). Rebooted as NUMMI, the first 1985 Chevrolet Nova (an Americanized AE82 Toyota Corolla Sprinter) rolled off the line in December of 1984. A quarter-century and better than eight million vehicles hence, NUMMI shut down production after its last Corolla was finished on April 1, 2010. While there was some noise about the Oakland Athletics building a new stadium on the site at the time, Tesla ended up buying most of the site soon after that. Tesla now builds more vehicles per year there than NUMMI ever did. The Vibe was co-developed with Toyota and based on the same platform as the ninth-generation Corolla. The Toyota Matrix was mechanically identical and was built in Canada, while the Japanese-market version (known as the Toyota Voltz) was built on the same NUMMI line as the Vibe and shipped across the Pacific. The Vibe/Matrix/Voltz got a redesign for the 2009 model year, but few noticed due to all the turmoil in the GM world at the time. The final Vibe was built in August 2009. This car was built in July of 2009, just before the end. It was living in West Texas just prior to coming to Colorado. El Paso is about a ten-hour drive from this car's current location. Once in the Centennial State, it got parked somewhere it shouldn't have been and ended up being auctioned to Pick Your Part. An occupant of this Vibe had time to sample some of the local agricultural products before that happened.
Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500
Thu, Jun 20 2019Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
