1968 Firebird Sprint model for restoration. It has the original engine, transmission and rear. It's 4.1 OHC 4BBL, 3-speed with Hurst shifter, 3.55 rear. Not a posi. Low option car, but unique and pretty rare. The engine last ran about 10 years ago. I have not tried to start it but turns over fine. The transmission shifted well, but the shifter is sloppy. The car is all original and never been restored. All parts on the car are original. Manual steering and manual drum brakes. The master cylinder if off the car but I have it.
The good about the car is it's almost complete. The only main thing missing is the air cleaner. Also, it's just about rust free. The only rust holes are behind each wheel. The frame, floors trunk and very solid showing only mild rust, but no weaknesses. The bad is that the car has dents everywhere/ It will need a tail panel and partial quarters from the center of the rear wheels back. The doors look good, the fenders appear repairable. The hood is good . The roof has some dents, but no rust, not even in the window channels. The subframe and rear unibody frame is excellent. Nothing bent.
The interior is rough, but all there. The radio hole has been severely cut, but I have a nice piece from another car to repair it. Also included are a very nice set of taillights.
The car rolls and steers easily, but not running at this time. The parking brake works.
Originally the car was turquoise with matching interior. Clear WA title in my name. Ready to go to a new home.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob 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.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim 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.
