For sale is a RED 1968 Pontiac Firebird Convertible. This car gets a lot of looks where ever it goes.
The owner that I bought this car bought it to travel Route 66 with his wife. They were intrigued with the romance
of travelling Route 66 in a Red Firebird Convertible. This road continues to captivate people around the world,
running between Chicago and Los Angeles.
This is a all Original High Performance 4 bbl 400 CI with 330 HP (they only made 7,563 WZ code engines), Muncie 4
speed, with a Safe-T-Track 3:36 rear end with original wheels, Front Disc Brakes and only 90,300 miles as of today
(I may drive it some if weather is good). VIN # 223678U154295. I have owned this Firebird for approximately ten
years and have driven it approximately 9,000 miles. The Firebird has been garaged all otf the years I have owned
it and the previous owner told me he had done the same. When I bought it he pulled out of his garage. This car
has had one repaint (original color) about 20 years ago. It looks ok, but a new paint job would make it look
better The engine has approximately 17,000 miles on it. Engine was rebuilt to original specs and serial # matches
the car. I rebuilt the rear end about 5,000 miles ago. I have also installed a new clutch, new shocks and had the
radiator serviced in the last 5,000 miles. I change oil every Summer. This car runs and drives great. The top
is a hard to find Manual top. The top is good, but the rear window is not clear. One door the interior has a
bubble on it and the carpet on the bottom on the drivers side need replaced. I do not have the original radio.
What it has is one that looks original, but is a 6 disc CD player. This car has not been messed with, has no rust
and all original sheet metal. If you are close, I encourage you to come and look and drive this Firebird
Convertible, the car will sell its self.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
