Up for sale is my 68 Pontiac Firebird I have owned for 29 years. Yes I purchased this car way back in 1984 in Phoenix AZ. I have never offered this car for sale until now. Has no rust and never did. All pnls are original to this car. Never been undercoated anywhere. Left rear lower pnl was replaced back in 88 when I had it painted. Had a small dent so we just put a small patch pnl in. It has a 455 Pontiac engine in it now. I do have the original engine (400) WZ code which will come with the sale. It is an original 400 4sp car. The 4sp and shifter is the original one for this car. Original white car along with red interior. All glass is perfect as is the original dash and door panels. It does have a posi rear in it. I believe it is either a 355 or 373 Not sure, its been so long. Does have hood tach(not working). I installed front disc brakes many years ago. Drives great and stops great also. The engine has a mild cam along with an aluminum intake and a Deamon carb,750cfm I believe. Has duel exhaust and flowmaster mufflers. Original AM radio does not work. Trunk is in great cond. I see one small hole I think was from something in the trunk that might have poked a hole in it. I can get pics if interested. I would and could drive this car any where. I did have the seats recovered years ago and they still look awsome. The original headliner will need replaced. It is starting to come apart at the seams in the rear. Tires are old but not dry roted,just worn out. The chrome and trim are in excellent cond.
Fell free to call me with any questions. (541) 281-5515

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.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
