1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible

#'s Match YT engine never removed, albeit lightly detailed.

#'s correct TH-400 Transmission

 

Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top

 

This 1967 Firebird is just out of private collection and subsequestly up for sale. It is a correct code R-1 Regimental Red car with correct red interior. The interior is completely original in unrestored fantastic shape. The only cosmetic defect being a crack in the door panel which is pictured. The original AM radio and dash bezel is included in the auction, as well as the original parade boot. The steering wheel is free of cracks which is pretty rare on these deluxe wheels. All guages lights, horn, ect. work as they should.

 

The car was built the last week of June 1967 per the trim tag, the original YT motor was cast 2 weeks prior. The code on the trans is correct as well as the intake manifold. I have not checked the distributor, ect. The car appears to be largely unmolested, with the exception of a repaint in its original hue sometime around 1985, per prior owner. The prior owner kept the car garaged for the past 20 years using it sparingly to hop around town in the summer, which is evident by the owner verified 57,000 miles.

 

The front and rear subframes are in excellent rust free shape. The pinchwelt on the rocker panels is crisp with no evidence of rust between the inner/outer rocker where these cars commonly rust swell. It appears at the time the car was painted the rear quarter panels were changed, and they did a fine job. The trunk appears to be very solid and not pictured but included are the spare and jack. All 4 cocktail shakers are in place. The shock towers are original and appear to be rust free.

 

The paint is old, albeit looks perfect from 10 feet away, but as you get up close you can start to see some "crows feet" in places in the paint as well as touched up chips, ect. However, it is still great paint for a driver. The convertible top is BRAND new, and the car has freshly blasted and detailed rally II wheels with a new set of quality tires.

 

This car is not a "bondo bucket" or a body shop special. It is however, a nice original car holding excellent pedigree.

 

I am a advid Firebird collector and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find #'s matching 400 convertibles. The issue is this, if you start out with a "was a 400 car" or a "I put a 400 in it", your car will never be worth what a #'s matching car is worth. Truth be told the asking price on this car is higher than "some" of the other Firebirds for sale...but it is a real deal car, and not some doctored up clone.

 

The car fires right up and runs great with no unusual smoke or rattles, and drives great at 75mph down the highway. This is a very tight original car, and not some thrown together rattle box.

 

This is a great car you can enjoy "as-is" without putting any money into it. Sure, it is by no means perfect, but it is a very nice car with excellent provenance.

 

This car is for sale locally and this auction is subject to being ended at anytime. You are free to call me and discuss a "buy it now" price that I can add to the auction.

 

I have over 250+ positive feedback, however this is a new user ID for my business.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
