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.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
