Up for auction is a 1969 Firebird 350  with T350 transmission.  I have over 30k invested in this car and my loss is your gain.  When I bought this car in 2011,  I drove it to the Professional Restoration Shop who did all the work.  I just got the car back from the shop.    Finish the car the way you want it!!  I have the title and PHS ready for the new owner.


The car is all ready for paint.  Once you paint the car and reassemble it you will have a really great car. The car is razor straight.    I just don't have the time or money to continue the project.   I spared no expense to get it to this point.  These cars are only going up in value.  


Work done to the car:

The complete car was completely stripped down to bare metal and all metal work was done.  Most parts were media blasted. There is NO rust left on this car. Then every thing was Epoxy coated.

The quarter panels, inner & outer wheel houses, floor panels, door skins, dash top and trunk lid were all professional replaced.  Other panels patched when needed.  

The original rear end was media blasted and rebuilt.  Leaf springs, shocks, brakes, and parking brakes all replaced.

Bottom of the car was completely stripped to bare metal, POR, Epoxy coated and  had Truck bed liner sprayed on.  

The motor (not original)  400 & transmission T350 was removed from the car, stripped of paint & painted, all new seals, oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, timing chain were installed ( rebuilt Holley carb included).  The previous owner rebuilt the 400 motor 10k miles ago.  I just had my shop freshen it up.   I do not have the original motor.   The 400 & trans are currently mounted in the car for transport.  It is not wired up so you can not hear it run.   You will have to bring a trailer to pick this up.

Frame connectors were installed

 

The subframe was removed, stripped,  mounts repaired , Epoxy coated and reinstalled.

The car has all new bushings installed


Car will come with all new pre bent  fuel lines & brake lines (not installed)  and new wire harnesses for under hood & rear end (not installed)

The car comes with all the parts to put it back together.   All the parts are sorted and in plastic tubs.  Everything is accounted for.  I drove the car to the shop and as the car was disassembled all the parts were sorted and placed into plastic tubs to make sure we had everything for reassembly.   Most parts are labeled.

The headliner and Front seats were completely redone. Everything's new, skins, padding,  rear plastic covers.   All seats, door panels, side panels, dash pad, glove box door, uncut instrument panel and center console come with the car.

The whole car was sprayed in high build,  areas of need were finished in Rage fiberglass body filler and the whole car was blocked sanded 3 times.  The car is now razor straight.

 

Please look at all the pictures and check out the link I posted from the Restoration Shop.   The link has over 600 pictures of the work being done.

I encourage all interested parties to come view the car.  You will not be disappointed.  

The winning bidder must send a $500 Paypal deposit within 48 hours of the end of the auction or car will be relisted and negative feedback left.   All sales final.  I also have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction early.  


You will have to bring a trailer or arrange transport.   You can not drive the car.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package

Sun, Dec 22 2019

Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced

Mon, Jan 29 2024

DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall

A case for Pontiac's return

Wed, Apr 5 2017

Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.
