Here is a super Rare 1967 Firebird HO convertible. Pontiac got into the Pony car race late in 1967, with its offering the Firebird. These cars came with 3 V-8 options, the standard 326, which came with lower compression ratio and 2 barrel carburetor, the 400, and then the 326 HO, which featured 10:5:1 compression, 4 barrel carburetor, and dual traction bars. There were only 6078 HO's built in 1967, and only around 1000 convertibles, making this a super rare option for the firebird. This car is in super nice shape, but is not perfect. If you are looking for a trailer queen, this is not your car. This car is in great shape shape for being 46 years old. Car was originally burgandy, but was repainted Tyrol Blue. I purchased this car about 7 years ago, and finished it. This car is a correct numbers matching car. I say correct numbers, because the motor was replaced under warranty, in 1967 by Pontiac. All engine casting numbers are correct and all correct date coding. Block is stamped S.R. for service replacement. Motor was replaced with a long block. The engine still maintains its original 141 casting on the Heads, original intake, original carter AFB 4243S, original Distributor, original style long branch exhaust manifolds, and original air cleaner. Car has original 3 speed manual transmission. Manual ivory convertible top. Deluxe Parchment interior. Interior was replaced about 4 years ago, and some dummy (Me) sat down in the drivers seat with a screw driver in my back pocket, and put a small hole in it. Dash Pad is original to the car, and does have two cracks in the top. Complete PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) documentation. Since I have owned the car, I have pulled the engine, and completely resealed it. I installed new timing chain, oil pump, water pump, and radiator. Carburetor was completely rebuilt by Classic carburetors out of Eden, NC. Transmission was completely resealed. New tires, new brakes, and new master cylinder. New clutch. Engine and front lighting harness' were also replaced. Convertible top was replaced about 4 years ago, and show some light dirt stains, from being outside some. Nice original pontiac ralley II Wheels with original style lug nuts. New aluminized factory style exhaust. Dual traction bars (factory). Car will need door glass adjusted some more. There are also some scratches on the drivers side door glass, where the glass had rubbed on something inside the door previously. There are also two dents on the passenger side door, toward the bottom, that should be able to be removed with out body work. This car turns heads wherever I go. Don''t miss out on your opportunity to own this piece of classic Pontiac history.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation 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.
