Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States
|
I have a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Formula 305 V8 for sale. Very nice car. Appears to be mostly original except the Hurst Shifter, Front Seats, and Stereo. The stereo was professionally installed as to not disturb the originality of the car. The underbody is in great condition. floors, frame and all suspension parts look very clean. The car looks like it has been maintained in this condition since new. It is in no way perfect, but is a very good solid example of it's era. Great driver condition. I would drive this car anywhere. It is an A/C car, but Air Conditioning does not blow cold, and I have not had it checked. Not sure how many miles is on it since I forgot to look before making this listing. I am not going to list every little detail about the car just to thwart off those who are eager to catch a thief/liar/whatever so they can get some sort of refund or deduction. I will say look at the pictures and decide if this car is something you really want to bid on. You are welcome to come view the car prior to bidding. I am honest in my descriptions and will answer any questions you might have. Just call me at 319-202-8750. I love old cars and enjoy driving them. I'm no where near being a motor head, like I said I am a driver and that is what this Firebird is. It is being sold as is and is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. $500 Non-Refundable deposit due 24 hours of auctions close, balance due 3 days of auctions close. Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping arrangements. Will gladly aid shipper in pick up of vehicle. On Apr-22-14 at 19:47:08 PDT, seller added the following information:

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
