Complete car. 4.1 liter overhead cam 250 CI. This is the base 1bbl engine, not the sprint. Engine pulled from car at this time, but is all there. Quotes on rebuild in my area came in at $3200. original aqua both in and out which I love. Options on this base model are the deluxe steering wheel and center counsel. Rims in the pictures do not come with this car. but it does come with a set of american racing rims with good tires in great shape. Car is complete. Needs need new floor pans (I have, but they are not installed). Brakes are good. Rear air shocks are good. Comes with rebuilt transmission. Body is very good for the year. hood was pulled to pull engine but is there and matches as well. Interior is all there, with normal cracks in the dash and a split in the drivers seat and a couple holes in the headliner, no carpet (pulled by last owner to replace floorboards). See pictures. Great car for restore. I purchased from a friend but already have another 68. Has been stored inside since 1984. I have clear title from and bill of sale from person I purchased from. Call with questions at 574 524 5949. Thanks, Greg On Nov-01-13 at 03:06:53 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION/INFORMATION: In response to some of the questions I have gotten concerning the condition of the Firebird: The engine is out of the car and disassembled down to the long block (see initial picture). The head is also disassembled and the machine work and valve guides installed (by a machine shop not by me). It is a complete engine, but some assembly is required. The driver's side rear quarter had some body work done to it, see new picture. It looks solid but you can see by the center line that it was done. The rest of the car looks very straight to me though. The picture of the floor board initially put in the ad is for passenger side. The drivers side front floor was cut to put in the new front floor pan and the new picture is of that floor pan which is not welded in at this time. Also the battery tray is in rough shape (which I have been told is common in these cars). Last, As I said in the initial ad I have the title and bill of sale from the person I bought this from. The title is filled out with my name as purchaser. I can either hand you the title and bill of sale and create a new bill of sale or I can retitle the car here in Indiana and hand over the new title and a bill of sale (I will pay for retitle in Indiana). Whatever works for the buyer. I just want to see the car redone after sitting for almost 30 years. Thanks, Greg |

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According 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.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
