This is a super cool, very unique '68 Firebird 400! I have owned this car for 7 years now and hate to see it go. I am a avid car collector and only acquire cars with higher collectibility. It's time to down size and make room. Bid with confidence, I have recently sold 2 other of my cars here on ebay to happy buyers (please view my feedback). This Firebird is an incredibly solid car. Its an original Starlight Black/Ralley Stripe, PHS Documented 400 4 speed, Black Plate California car. This car has lived in southern California its whole life until I bought it in '06 from Lake Elsinor. I am the third owner and searched high and low for years for a car like this. I was after 3 things, a solid original body, 400 4 speed and an original (A-A) Starlight Black paint scheme.
This Firebird has rich history and documentation unlike any other! This car originally sold at Mission Pontiac of San Bernardino California. The car has its original Build sheet, Protector Plate, Warranty Card, First 3 consecutive California Registrations, L P Stevens & CO inc carpet tag dated 1/8/68, the original keys and original California Black Plates. What's so special about this Firebird is how the original owner's name, Gary Webb corresponds on the majority of the original documents, starting with the Protecto plate, of which the includes the WZ engine code. All 3 registrations have Gary Webb on them along with the Warranty Card.
The factory options on this car are: AM/FM radio, 400 4 speed, Special order Starlight Black, Console, 3.36 rearend, Hood Tach, Ralley Stripes. An interesting feature of this car is the "Bird Glass" etching on the side glass which appeared only on select early '68 Firebirds. Also, this car came with the "tall style" Hood Tach which was a dealer installed. The tall style was used on early '68s.
The interior is all original except for the new carpet, new headliner and sun visors of which turned out perfect, no unwanted waves. The seats and door panels are actually in real decent shape, there are no tears and it all still look good. The console however was shortened in the front to make room for aftermarket A/C
The car drives nicely down the road, no rattles, and runs well. As mentioned in the title description, this car is (almost #s matching) but it has a 400 out of a 1970 Grand Prix which runs really well, however I did find a correct perfectly date coded 1968 400 engine with a correct 9790071 casting number for this car. The engine date code precedes the body build date (11D) by about 2 and a half months just as it should from the factory. I will include this complete engine for free to the winning bidder but the buyer is responsible for shipping. This engine is virgin and is still standard inside. The rest of the car is numbers matching original. The VIN number is stamped on top of the Muncie with the correct date code and the rearend has the correct 9793019 casting number and J067 date code along with the correct XG 3:36 code stamp. The car still has the original exhaust as well believe it or not! Take a look at the pictures with the oval exhaust tips and the original hangar brackets. The exhuast sounds soo nice, a very unique exhaust note.
As mentioned before, this car is very solid, next to rust free and I would love to call it rust free, but it does have VERY MINOR rust on it. The lower front door corners, lower rear quarters and front part of the passenger fender has rust in it, the rest of the car is rust free and solid and incredibly straight. There is ONLY one dent on the passenger rear quarter the size of a nickel (see picture). The car has never been in a major accent, it has all original body panels including the fenders, hood, trunk lid, doors, quarter panels, and floors. The doors, trunk and hood shut very nicely with little effort. All the body panels fit together very well incuding all body lines and gaps. The trunk pan is original, rust free and solid. The floor boards are also original and super solid. The lower window channels are in great shape and rust free. The rockers are rust free too. This is definitely a car worth the tedious nut and bolt restoration and wont be a basket case, full of rust.
You'll notice a lot of times that people will change the color of their '68 firebird to black being that it is the color of choice, this '68 Bird you don't have to do that to, it is the real deal Starlight Black! Again I really regret to see this car go, but would like see it go to a good home . Thanks for Looking!

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Sun, Nov 28 2021John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, the other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.
