The Story--
In the spring of 1967 a lady doctor drove past Bill Rapp Pontiac in Syracuse,NY and saw a yellow convertible in the showroom window. She turned her 190SL around went back to the dealer and traded in her Mercedes Benz on this yellow Firebird 400 convertible. This was her nice weather" fun car". She drove this 3-4000 miles a year for 10 years, then her father drove it for 2 years. In 1979 it was driven in and parked in a metal building and has not been touched since. The doctor passed away in 2004. The car is now owned by her sister and has never before been offered for sale. Since it has always been in the same family, the buyer will be the second owner. The Car-- This is a nicely equipped 1967 Firebird 400 convertible. The mileage is correct at 42,867. It has never been abused, modified, hot-rodded, or chopped in any way. Only 2 adults have driven this car. All of the original equipment is in place. It has never been taken apart and the car was running in 1979 when it was parked. Unfortunately it was improperly stored. Nothing was done to preserve the car. The paint is completely oxidized with the exception of the inside trunk lid as shown in the photos. Mice have been in the interior. Insulation and wiring have been chewed through by rodents. There are 3 small missing parts; the 2 "Firebird" emblems on the front fenders and the "400" emblem on the trunk lid. Other than these 3 minor parts the car is 100% complete including all 4 wheel covers, owner's manual and Pontiac floor mats. The doors, hood and trunk all open and close properly. All of the glass is intact. "Hockey Sticks" are on the grill. The floorpans and the trunk floor appear to be solid. The subframe looks solid but needs bushings where it meets the body. The fuel tank was replaced before the car was stored. This car should have a complete "nut & bolt" restoration. The car is rusty and has a few minor dents as shown in the photos. Car comes with complete documentation from Pontiac Historic Services (PHS). This includes copies of the build sheet, special equipment, window sticker and other pertinent information. It is very unusual to find a 100% original complete and numbers-matching muscle car like this. This is absolutely not a clone. This Firebird deserves a quality restoration. The Terms-- The buyer is responsible for removing the car and transportation. This is a true auction with a low starting price and NO RESERVE. Please, no dreamers or tire-kickers. Don't try to dazzle me with your knowledge, I know Pontiacs. Please, no low-ball offers. I have been accurate, honest, and complete in describing this car, but if you have any questions please email me or call (315)447-8730 8AM-8PM eastern time. THANK YOU |

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
