    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!

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang Â— the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint Â— red, white and blue Â— and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its Â“ram induction systemÂ” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 Â— a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics

Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander.
