1969 Firebird Convertible Muncie 4 Speed, Trans Am Spoiler, No Reserve! on 2040-cars
North Lewisburg, Ohio, United States
This car has been in my family for the past 30 years. Car hasnt been on the road since the mid 80's. Restoration work was last done in 1999, been in storage ever since. Its had the floor pans, quarter panels and trunk pan replaced. Convertible top was installed 20 years ago. New dash pad and carpet were installed shortly before it was put in storage. Underside is undercoated, Front disc brakes, muncie 4 speed, mr gasket close ratio shifter (Hurst style), original rally wheels, Two front clips, two sets of doors missing the guts, one set of complete doors including door panels, maroon set of fenders and doors have bondo, the other sets do not. The fenders in the pics just have surface rust and are completely solid, will just need minor metal repair near the lovers/inserts, two trunk lids, two trans am style spoilers, one spoiler is warped its the one installed in the pics. Dash and inside engine compartment have been painted gloss black. Interior and front clip are not currently installed. I know I am missing a few things like the chrome front bumper, ingnition keys, steering wheel, and windshield. I have many more pics but can only put 24 on here. There are more pictures not seen here on my columbus craigslist ad, if you want to look it up. You know what your getting with this car, unlike some others that are nice on the outside but are hiding rot everywhere. No motor is installed, but I have a 400 motor with less than 1k miles that was in a tempest and ran 11's, its has a decked block, lightened crank, 69 ram air 3 heads, roller rockers, msd distributor, electric water pump, hooker headers, mallory promaster coil, and hyfire ignition. Engine was built by Rock and Roll engineering 475hp 500torque. I will include the engine for another $3k. Its a $10k+ turn key ready to go engine. The engine could use a repaint. I have pics of the engine being built and dyno sheet and will take current pics if there are interested parties.
Depending on how it is finished this car is easily worth 22 - 27k. Car is sold as is, I would guess there is a couple grand in extra parts. $500 non refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks!

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
