This 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible has gone thru a very extensive restoration over the last 8 years or so. This car just stops people in their tracks. It runs and drives excellent, with the most beautiful exhaust tone you can imagine. I took it to the 750 car show and shine in Roseburg this year, and it took first place out of all of the Camaro's and Firebird's there.

Here is a list of what has been done to the car:

 

Freshly rebuilt 12 bolt rear end with 3:73 gears and a new Eaton Posi unit

Rust free chassis completely cleaned and painted

All new brake lines with OEM style armor in the bends, New hoses, shoes, pads, Master and Wheel cylinders, etc.

Power Front Disc Brakes

All new front and rear Suspension, air shocks with separate fill lines, and front end components with polyurethane bushings on the front anti-sway bar

Smooth shifting M-21 Muncie 4-speed transmission with excellent clutch

Rebuilt Non-numbers matching 400 engine with Edelbrock Endurashine intake, 6X heads, Edelbrock 600 carb w/ electric choke plus Mallory Unilite distributor and coil

Ceramic Coated Doug's Headers running thru Aluminized 2-1/2" Dual Exhaust with Magnaflow welded mufflers with an 'H' pipe. Exits at the rear bumper with chrome tips. Very well done system, sounds amazing

New Gas Tank, fuel sender, and hard line running to the engine

Very straight body with very nice basecoat/clearcoat paint. Only a few touched up minor chips, and one, pea sized bubble that I would have to point out to you to see it low on the passenger side body

New Hood Tach - works very well

New upholstery, nice console. Carpet has a bit of sun fading, but is very nice

New, high quality material, Power Convertible top. I will have new hydraulic rams put in before the auction ends so it will operate smoothly

All glass in excellent condition

New door and trunk seals, belt line weather-strip, etc.

New 2013 top of the line Sony DSX-S310BTX Digital media receiver running to a Rockford Fosgate Punch 200 amp, powering 4 Infinity Coax speakers

Sunpro oil, water and volt gauges added. Water gauge reads a bit off, but works well

New 2013 Boyd's Junkyard Dog Wheels; 18x8 rear, 18x7 front with a new matched set of Nitto NT550 Extreme ZR Tires; 265 50 18 rear, and 225 45 18 front

Excellent chrome on front and rear bumpers

 

I may have missed something, so please write me if you want to know anything. Ebay has a link to order an inspection by a third party, and I will help with anything I can. The Firebird will come with a clear, numbers matching, Oregon State Title in my name plus current registration, and of course it is sold "as-is". I will need a 500 dollar deposit by way of Paypal immediately following the auction with the balance due within 5 days by way of cash, cashiers check, or bank transfer. Checks will take two weeks to clear before car can be picked up. Again, write me if you have questions, and Good luck bidding, TJ

Correction: The rear end is a 10 bolt, not a 12 bolt.................

Answers to some questions that have been asked:

There is a new Pearl White Top Boot that matches the pearl white interior that is included; I just didn't have it installed when I took the pictures.

The E-brake cable end broke off, so it will need a new cable installed

The trunk Body Dampers (Cocktail shakers) are both there, and I don't see any up front

New body bushings and bolts were also installed when the car was put back together

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When 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.
