1969 Firebird Convertible on 2040-cars
Forest Lake, Minnesota, United States
|
If you have been looking for a solid 1969 Firebird convertible for your next project or first project car you have just found it. I found this car in a barn in Iowa a few years ago when I was looking for my next project car. I had built two first gen Camaros with my dad and was looking for something a little different, but still wanted a car that I could find parts for and knew how they all went together. I know what your thinking, a Firebird is not a very big leap from the Camaro, but they are a little different and Pontiac did not build as many as Chevy. The Firebird is solid. The rear fenders look good and there is not signs of rust in the door jambs which was always a problem on these first gen f-bodys. I have not found any patching on this car except a little on the fronts floors where it transitions from the floor to the firewall (see pictures). The doors look good and the glass is in good shape. The front clip appears to have been replaced at sometime during the cars life, but I am not positive. The interior is in need of replacement. The seats and frames are all there, but the fabric could use replacing. The car is missing a few of the interior panels. With some clean up the dash and console would clean up nice, however the dash pad would need to be replaced. The gauges are all there, but I do not know if they work. With sometime and talent you could be cruising in a late 60's pony car with the wind blowing through your hair. Please view pictures carefully and contact me if you have any questions. The car does not currently run. Thank you. |

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
