REAL HOOD TACH CAR

AM/FM CAR

DISK BRAKE CAR

 

In 1968, a John C. Riley , of Richmond, VA purchased a 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible for his wife. She did not like the car, and preferred a automatic, so the car sat in the garage for many years, undriven, untouched. Upon distribution of the family estate about 20 years ago, the car was inherited to Mr. Riley's son and has only been driven 61,000 DOCUMENTED miles in it's life. The engine was pulled 6 years ago and simply regasketed, also the car recieved a new convertible top,, as well as basic maintenence items. A new set of tires were also installed, as well as a exhaust.

 

The car largely sits that way today, aside from a modest engine detail and fluid changes and having the brakes gone through...

 

Car runs GREAT, original 400 pops instantly to life, 4 speed shifts like butter, car is completely rattle and shake free, 3.23 posi spins both rear tires on demand. Paint is fantastic for being mostly original and 45 years old.and car is dead straight. Interior is all original sans carpet, and is in fantastic shape. Power top, console clock!...this car has all the right stuff!

 

This car is a awesome driver and has ALL ORIGINAL BODY PANELS, floors are all original and completely uncut, with not a pinhole anywhere. This car has absolutely no rust issues whatsoever. Of course rear rails, rockers, ect. are fantastic as well.

 

I am a advid Pontiac collector, and this is the nicest Firebird I have ever owned. These 100% #'s matching original body panel cars are almost impossible to come by.

 

I have the original manuals, broadcast sheet, ect.

 

THIS CAR WILL NOT BE SOLD CHEAP. IT IS ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF UNRESTORED EXCELLENCE OUT THERE. JUST COMPLETED A 700 MILE ROAD TRIP FROM IT'S HOME IN VA TO ILLINOIS!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
