1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertable Red With 350 V8 on 2040-cars
Greenbrae, California, United States
|
I am selling a 1968 firebird 350 convertible! it still starts runs/drives good!! There were not very many made and probably not many left!! As you can see in the pictures it is pretty original. The interior looks nice and very original. It looks stock to me except for the chrome valve cover gaskets, air filter, and radio. The last oil change was at 52901. Do not assume anything. Any concerns please have it inspected before biding or buying. I welcome local inspection of the car! I have the car for sale local and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time due to a local sale. As far as I understand it has had two basic owners, with the first one selling it in 1999. This has been garage kept and been driven only a couple hundred miles a year since 1999. It could use minor body work and a repaint in my opinion. It had the floor plan replaced with new carpet, and the fuel GM fuel Meter and lines. It was last tuned up in 2011. This car does come with records. The tires are still good but probable over 20 years old.
Just to get a idea what it would cost to redue. I went to a very good body shop that did $8000 worth of work on my BMW when I got rear ended. He gave me a quote of $3500 for a complete repaint and all the body work. The majority of body work was on the sides. I went online to the below website, and the prices look pretty good to me, so I think you could save a lot on body work by replacing some of the panals that go from $30 to $300 per panal if I am correct. These are just my thoughts, no implied or expressed warranties. I hope this answers a lot of your questions regarding bodywork and paint. http://www.ecklersfirebird.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=door&x=25&y=8

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
