The Story--
In the spring of 1967 a lady doctor drove past Bill Rapp Pontiac in Syracuse,NY and saw a yellow convertible in the showroom window.  She turned her 190SL around went back to the dealer and traded in her Mercedes Benz on this yellow Firebird 400 convertible.  This was her nice weather" fun car".  She drove this 3-4000 miles a year for 10 years, then her father drove it for 2 years.  In 1979 it was driven in and parked in a metal building and has not been touched since.  The doctor passed away in 2004. The car is now owned by her sister and has never before been offered for sale.  Since it has always been in the same family, the buyer will be the second owner.

The Car--
This is a nicely equipped 1967 Firebird 400 convertible. The mileage is correct at 42,867.  It has never been abused, modified, hot-rodded, or chopped in any way.  Only 2 adults have driven this car.  All of the original equipment is in place.  It has never been taken apart and the car was running in 1979 when it was parked.  Unfortunately it was improperly stored.  Nothing was done to preserve the car.  The paint is completely oxidized with the exception of the inside trunk lid as shown in the photos.  Mice have been in the interior.  Insulation and wiring have been chewed through by rodents.  There are 3 small missing parts; the 2 "Firebird" emblems on the front fenders and the "400" emblem on the trunk lid.  Other than these 3 minor parts the car is 100% complete including all 4 wheel covers, owner's manual and Pontiac floor mats. The doors, hood and trunk all open and close properly.  All of the glass is intact. "Hockey Sticks" are on the grill. The floorpans and the trunk floor appear to be solid.  The subframe looks solid but needs bushings where it meets the body. The fuel tank was replaced before the car was stored.  This car should have a complete "nut & bolt" restoration.  The car is rusty and has a few minor dents as shown in the photos.  Car comes with complete documentation from Pontiac Historic Services (PHS).  This includes copies of the build sheet, special equipment, window sticker and other pertinent information.    It is very unusual to find a 100% original complete and numbers-matching muscle car like this.  This is absolutely not a clone.  This Firebird deserves a quality restoration.

The Terms--
The buyer is responsible for removing the car and transportation. This is a true auction with a low starting price and NO RESERVE.   Please, no dreamers or tire-kickers.  Don't try to dazzle me with your knowledge, I know  Pontiacs.   Please, no low-ball offers. I have been accurate, honest, and complete in describing this car, but if you have any questions please email me or call (315)447-8730 8AM-8PM eastern time. THANK YOU

GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect

Tue, Apr 1 2014

General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
