Complete car. 4.1 liter overhead cam 250 CI. This is the base 1bbl engine, not the sprint. Engine pulled from car at this time, but is all there. Quotes on rebuild in my area came in at $3200. original aqua both in and out which I love. Options on this base model are the deluxe steering wheel and center counsel. Rims in the pictures do not come with this car. but it does come with a set of american racing rims with good tires in great shape. Car is complete. Needs need new floor pans (I have, but they are not installed). Brakes are good. Rear air shocks are good. Comes with rebuilt transmission. Body is very good for the year. hood was pulled to pull engine but is there and matches as well. Interior is all there, with normal cracks in the dash and a split in the drivers seat and a couple holes in the headliner, no carpet (pulled by last owner to replace floorboards). See pictures. Great car for restore. I purchased from a friend but already have another 68. Has been stored inside since 1984. I have clear title from and bill of sale from person I purchased from. Call with questions at 574 524 5949. Thanks, Greg On Nov-01-13 at 03:06:53 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTION/INFORMATION: In response to some of the questions I have gotten concerning the condition of the Firebird: The engine is out of the car and disassembled down to the long block (see initial picture). The head is also disassembled and the machine work and valve guides installed (by a machine shop not by me). It is a complete engine, but some assembly is required. The driver's side rear quarter had some body work done to it, see new picture. It looks solid but you can see by the center line that it was done. The rest of the car looks very straight to me though. The picture of the floor board initially put in the ad is for passenger side. The drivers side front floor was cut to put in the new front floor pan and the new picture is of that floor pan which is not welded in at this time. Also the battery tray is in rough shape (which I have been told is common in these cars). Last, As I said in the initial ad I have the title and bill of sale from the person I bought this from. The title is filled out with my name as purchaser. I can either hand you the title and bill of sale and create a new bill of sale or I can retitle the car here in Indiana and hand over the new title and a bill of sale (I will pay for retitle in Indiana). Whatever works for the buyer. I just want to see the car redone after sitting for almost 30 years. Thanks, Greg |

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
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.
