California car. 76k original miles on the odometer are believed to be accurate.

Vehicle History

The original owner purchased new in 1967. He was from the Mid-West.    He moved to California in 1969 and brought the car with him.  He sold the car in 1983 to the second owner (also Californian) where it remained in his car collection for 30 years. 

Exterior

A recent exterior restoration was completed.  The exterior paint was shot in GM silver using high quality DuPont Chromabase paint.  The body is very straight.   The car sits on show quality powder coated rally II wheels with new center caps and lugs, mounted to Goodyear Eagle ST tires with excellent rubber.   All exterior emblems were replaced, new front and rear bumpers, rocker panels, wheel trim, door handles, driver mirror, front and rear window molding, weather stripping.   Stunning car with perfect stance and presence.

Interior

The dark turquoise deluxe interior was a very rare color option in 1967 and is an outstanding complement to the silver exterior.  The original interior build tags were found under the seats.   

The interior was treated to brand new carpeting, top quality replacement deluxe door panels (Al Knoch), and a re-upholstered original dash pad.  The front and rear seats were reupholstered several years back - they look great with very nice foam.     There is a very small (quarter size) hole in the passenger rear side of the headliner, otherwise the rest of the headliner is in excellent condition.

Undercarriage

The chassis / undercarriage remains in its original stock form with no rust or chassis repair thanks to 45 years on the West coast.   Finding an untouched undercarriage like this is pretty remarkable.   The floor panels and frame rails are outstanding.  The original trunk floor is rust free.  It was treated to a light splatter paint coating and looks outstanding.  The shock towers are perfect.

Mechanical

All gauges, lights, electrics, wipers, horn function properly.  The original AM radio is still in the car and works perfect.  

The original 100% stock 400 engine fires right up easily and runs incredibly strong with plenty of power. Original Quadrajet carburetor.   The TH400 transmission shifts are smooth. The car tracks straight and stops well.   Brand new custom dual exhaust set up with turbo mufflers gives the car an authentic, performance sound.  Super reliable and tight.  The original engine mounts were just replaced.  The front transmission seal was also replaced.

This is a beautiful and rare bird that will definitely win its share of car shows.  Could easily be a Pontiac Nationals caliber Firebird with very minimal effort.  The car is being sold as is and is also offered for sale locally.  I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time.  If you’re looking for a first year authentic Firebird 400, I would not pass this one up.  The car is available for inspection. Private Seller. Please contact me with any questions.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
