This is my 1968 Firebird 400 which was sold new in Washington State where salt is not used on the roads so it is
virtually rust free. It has 63,000 original miles with one repaint and otherwise very original. The vinyl top is
original and still looks excellent. The interior is completely original including carpet, door sill plates with
rivets, brake/accelerator pedal pads, etc and in excellent condition. The dash pad, console, door panels, etc. have
no cracks, marks or scratches. All of the glass is original including the outside mirror. The car has a
replacement carb, but I have a nice 1968 400 Firebird automatic carb to go with the car. The original washer pump
is installed, but there is a small aftermarket washer pump added to the car. I have not had time to restore the
original pump. After last tax season (I am a CPA), the gas gauge did not work, and I have not yet run down the
connection that needs to be cleaned. The car also has a repo front bumper. The original AC still blows cool air
and has its original sticker on the AC compressor. Except for the carb, the drivetrain is totally original
including the air cleaner, intake, heads, "born with" matching block, valve covers, idle stop solenoid, heat riser
shroud, bolts, nuts, washers, transmission, drive shaft, rear end, etc, etc, etc. I doubt the engine has ever been
apart so I suggest that the timing chain be replaced at some point. Correct 14X6 Rally II wheels are not original
but go with the car. The original deluxe wheel covers are included and have nice red centers as can be seen in the
picture. I have also included a picture of some parts that I will let go--repo vacuum kit, some clips, rubber
parts and an NOS master cylinder cap. An all cotton car cover is included.
This Firebird has been in an enclosed garage and covered most of its life. I included a couple of pictures under
the car. One of the pictures shows that the plate under the engine is not bent from having a jack placed under it.
Most Firebirds are bent in this area. The other picture shows a typical place on the underbody with no rusting .
The car has traveled less than 100 miles per year for many years. Several years ago, I traveled from North
Carolina to Washington State to buy this Pontiac due to its originality and excellent condition. It was brought
across the country in an enclosed trailer. I have only used alcohol free gas mixed with real lead and engine oil
containing zinc with additional zinc added at each oil change. I am as picky as anyone in the country when it comes
to maintaining an old Pontiac.
I have the Pontiac Historic Services info on the car. Options include: 400 4 BBL V8 (includes chrome air
cleaner/rocker covers/oil cap, dual exhaust, declutching fan, hood scoops, chrome “hockey sticks” in grill,
arrow head on front bumper), Hydra-Matic Transmission, AM Radio, Deluxe Wheel Discs, Deluxe Steering Wheel,
Console, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Soft Ray Glass—all windows, Bucket Seat Adjuster (extremely rare and
works), Custom Air Conditioning, Vinyl Top.
I entered it in one judged show at the General Greene Greensboro NC Chapter of AACA where it won a First. It would
probably not win a gold at a POCI convention because the engine has never been out to be detailed and the underside
and exhaust are not like new--just clean and rust free--except for the exhaust system. I am unsure if this is the
original exhaust on the car with a replacement muffler. Some interior pictures show a cover over the dash pad to
keep the pad cooler when outside.

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction
Sat, Apr 4 2020Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction. As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country. In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer. The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
