Listing this car for my neighbor. 1969 Pontiac Firebird, Triple white, white exterior, interior, white convertible top. Quick details: Car has had a bunch of work done to it recently including professional paint job, new top, bumpers, and much more. Car is a 350cu in Pontiac small block, 4 barrel, backed with a 2 speed powerglide and dual exhaust. Car runs and drives great.
History:
Third owner of the car. Car was purchased by current owner in 1996. Purchased with 101k miles. At 99k miles engine and transmission were rebuilt. Since then only maintenance has been performed to keep it running good.
Drivetrain:
350 Pontiac small block, powerglide transmission, Pontiac 10 bolt rear end. Added a 4 barrel quadrajet carburetor and 4 barrel intake to boost performance a bit. Car also has new fuel pump and water pump. Car rus great, shifts great and always starts right up. Car has 4 wheel manual drum brakes. The brakes were re-done and new drums were installed a couple thousand miles ago. Car has power steering. The tires on the car are in great shape with lots of tread left.
Exterior:
As stated, car is triple white. Body was professionally repainted in 2012. Paint on the car is nice with no major flaws. At this time the convertible top was also replaced. The top is power and works as it should. The front and new bumpers are new and in perfect condition. 3 out of the 4 headlight bezels are in perfect shape, with no pitting, one has minor pitting, see the pictures for more details. Overall the car is in good shape and solid. Rockers, quarters, etc are solid on the car.
Interior:
Interior of the car is original white. The carpet and seats are original and are in really nice shape for their age. The seat backs of the front seats have been touched up and don't look perfect. Two minor things to note are that the fuel gauge stopped working and the blower motor stopped working. The blower motor worked a few weeks back but has since stopped. The relay clicks which leads me to believe the blower motor may need to be replaced.
The undercarriage of the car is mainly original. It has been undercoated, when? I am not sure. The drivers floor has had a patch installed but the rest of the floors appear to be solid. There is a bit of rust around the front torque box area but its just surface rust, not rotted or in bad shape. Other than that, the pictures pretty much show the car.
Overall this is a very nice car. It has been used as a driver in the summer and stored winters. Car only has around 500 miles since being painted and the top replaced. The car runs and drives well and really doesn't need much work at all.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When 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:
