1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Clone!

1969 PONTIAC FIREBIRD! THE ABSOLUTE BEST YEAR FOR THE FIREBIRD! A GREAT START TO AN EASY RESTORATION! BUILD YOUR VERY OWN TRANS AM CLONE!

     Please note that I do have this car for sale locally and I will end the auction early should it sell prior to the auction ending. So if interested, please do not hesitate to call Shawn at 816-308-0351.

     When I evaluate building a car, I usually like to gauge them on a scale of A to Z. A being a car that needs everything, from sheet metal work to acquiring parts and Z being your finished product. I would rate this car about an L/M. It has had a tremendous amount of work done to it at this point and much of the hard to find items have been found. All of the parts that I have are in good condition. This Firebird is right at the hump and is on the verge of becoming an easy sail.

     The story behind this car is that it began as a project for a Father & Daughter duo. The Father immediately began acquiring parts for the car far before the car ever began being restored. Just in new sheet metal he had spent close to 4k dollars. After purchasing the sheet metal, he had the car sent off and the sheet metal work began to take place. Some where in the neighborhood of 4,500 has already been spent on just the labor for getting the body work where it sits today. Now take in to account that he spent almost 3k just in amassing the parts necessary to complete the Firebird (interior components primarily). Now take in to account that the car itself (when it began at stage A) was purchased for 3k dollars. At this point, he had lost count of his expenses but as you can see, he had invested over 14k dollars in this Firebird.

     How I was able to end up with it is simple. Along their journey of this restoration, another 1969 Firebird came along that was nearly completed. It seemed to be the more viable solution at the time and now sits within their garage, a fully restored 1969 Firebird. Seeing as they had achieved what they ultimately set out for, there was no need for this Firebird any longer. So if you're looking for an excellent jump start on building your own, framed off Firebird, this is your opportunity. This is that rare chance to get a lot of bang for your buck and to build your car right as well as to your exact specifications! All of the work that has been completed has been done so by professionals so the sheet metal work is very straight and correct.

Body: This Firebird has already been taken off the frame and was mounted to a rotisserie. All of the floors were cut out and replaced with a brand new one piece floor pan. The rear frame rails were also cut away and replaced with brand new rails. The firewall was also done away with and replaced with a brand new firewall. The trunk at this point has been cut out and the new trunk pan is now sitting in it, awaiting to be welded in. The passenger side quarter has already been replaced and is completed. The only items left to do are the rockers (which I have, brand new), welding in the new drivers side quarter (which I also have, full quarter), and the wheel housing (I also have, brand new). I do have a good set of doors which have everything in them and a good set of fenders.

Engine & Mechanical: I do not have a drive train for the Firebird. I do have a set of four speed pedals which I will include with the Firebird.

Interior: I do have all of the interior for the Firebird. I have a good set of door panels, a set of buckets, and a back seat. I also have a good instrument panel along with its plastics, all of which is in excellent condition. Please note that everything that I have for this car is located within the photos below. The only two items that are not photographed are the bucket seats and back seat as they were not at the same location when I took the photos.

     Located below you will find photos of everything that I have. Beyond a motor & transmission, this Firebird is mostly complete. I have all of the stainless, grille, valance, bezels, carpet, door panels, I even have all of the nuts, bolts, & screws, all catalogued away in a plastic container so as to make it easier for reassembly. I believe that this Firebird will make a phenomenal automobile for someone and it should not be too difficult of a task to finish the restoration. Whoever ends up owning it can take comfort in the fact that the majority of the hard work has been completed.

     I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the Firebird early as we do have it for sale "locally". My goal here is to sell the Firebird. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this Firebird. As always, good luck and happy bidding!

Thanks,

Shawn

Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT

Fri, Jun 26 2020

The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.

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.

Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo

Tue, Jan 10 2017

The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.
