1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 Convertible 4 Speed
Here is a very sharp 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible 400 convertible with 4 speed transmission. NOM Pontiac 455 rebuilt motor with mild cam. Car sounds awesome (deep throaty sound), is very fast and is a blast to drive (yes it will lay rubber when needed)! It has had a lot of work done in the past few years (I have most of the receipts) including new brakes, new springs, new shocks, new master cylinder, new wiring harness, new clutch/brake peddles, new plugs/wires/cap/rotor, new electronic fuel pump, new brakes, newer headers with complete heavy duty exhaust system, newer front/rear bumpers and a new Pioneer AM/FM CD player. I bought a new cigarette lighter for it, but misplaced it (so it still needs a lighter). Also needs a new speedometer cable. Mauel brakes and steering. The car has newer floor pans and out side of a couple of pin sized bubbles (see picture) the car is rust free. It also has a golf ball size ding in the front valance but it is very hard to see unless you are looking for it (see front view picture). The car was re-painted about 6 years ago and still shines up nice and presents very well (originally Vordoro Green). Top is in decent shape and is manuel (I actually like these better because there is nothing to break and they go up/down faster). Brand new chrome wheels with Bridgestone Potenza Radial tires! Interior is in decent shape and the door panels were replaced recently. Seat covers are decent but do show some wear. I also have the original wood steering wheel and seat belts that will come with the car. This car turns heads wherever you go! It dosent get much better than a Firebird 4 speed convertible that sounds and looks as good as this one that you can purchase for a realistic price! I am pricing the car to sell!
Feel free to contact me with any questions about the car. I can be reached at 440-785-2687.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. However, I am happy to assist you in finding transportation for the car.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
