1968 Pontiac Firebird

350 2bbl Automatic

I am selling my 1968 Pontaic Firebird.  I will try to describe the car in as much detail as possible (even the negative details) so please read carefully.  Because of differences in meaning for people, it's probably best to see the car for yourself first anyway.

This car has a clean MO title.  It is currently licensed and drive-able.  

The car runs really well.  It cold starts on its own, even in below freezing temperatures.  It drives well, and shifts well.  The 350 motor & transmission was rebuilt less than 2k miles ago.

The car is matching numbers.  All the interior (except for a couple of speakers that were added in the 80's) is original to the car.  It is currently missing passenger side carpet on the floor.  

It has been garage kept for the majority of its recent life, and I took it out for a drive only during appropriate weather.

The paint is original to the car.  

A skilled restorer can salvage all of the fenders on this car.

The lights and turn signals all work.  I purchased new turn signals which are also included with the car.

The exterior color is originally Primavera Beige, and the interior is the beautiful 60's Green-Gold color.

I have freshly painted Rally II Wheels with new rims that are being included with the car.

The bumper has been removed and is not currently attached, but that is also included with the car.

The engine has recently been repainted the original Pontiac Blue.

Now, on to the known issues:

The body has some rough patches.  No car is immune to rust, and that includes muscle cars.  The car has some rust in the normal areas that Firebirds and Camaros share.  There is only minor surface rust in the trunk (really minor) and the floors are solid and rust free.  The fender rust did spread to create a small hole in corner of the passenger side floor (see picture and note that the insulation put on the floorboards of cars is also brown.  The rust is localized to the hole and a small surrounding area.).

The front fenders have two minor dents near the headlights.

The gas gauge does not work.

The dash light is out (behind the speedometer, etc)

The A/C does not work.

When the brights are switched on, one of the standard lights stays on.


Overall this car would make a great restoration project or daily driver.  No mechanical work needs to be done to the vehicle.  I would encourage anyone legitimately interested in the car to see it for themselves if possible.  I have tried to explain all of the details of the car to the best of my ability to prevent any time from being wasted.  I would be happy to answer any questions.  Please also note that this vehicle is for sale locally, and therefore this ad can be cancelled at any time.  I feel like my asking price is fair, but I will entertain offers.  Everyone likes to feel like they're getting the best deal possible, so offer away.  I will only accept cash as the method of payment.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
