Rough Project Car, Needs Complete Restoration, 1970 Pontiac Firebird 400, PHS indicates it was originally equipped with the Ram Air III, M21 4spd & 3.73 12 bolt posi. No Engine, No Transmission, the rear axle in the car is Not the original 12 bolt. Someone had replaced floor pans but did a poor job of it, the new set of floor pans in pictures are included with sale of car, side frame rails are solid, the floors under the front seats are solid, the area under the rear seat lower cushions has also been poorly repaired and needs to be redone, the seats are obviously out of a 1970 Camaro due to the upolstery pattern, rear quarter panels do have some body filler in them, rear frame rails are solid with light pitts and surface rust, the trunk floor is solid with some pitting on top, I was not going to replace the trunk floor, the rear taillight panel is also very solid, the drivers front fender & drivers door have both been replaced sometime in the past, the passenger side fender and door are originals, the endura nose/bumper is the original, the Ram Air hood is the original with the screens still in place, the 14x7 Rally II wheels are a matched JS code set, although the PHS indicated the car did not come with Rallys originally, mileage on the odometer is 78,668.8 which I believe to be the correct original mileage, original color was Granada Gold with Black Standard Interior, one picture shows the passenger frame rail which still has the Granada Gold on it.

Car is sold as is with no warranty of any kind, I have a transferable registration in my name, titles were not used in NY until about 1973 so car is transferable by the registration. Car is located in Poughkeepsie, New York, about an hour north of New York City. Thanks.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General 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.
