Listing this car for my neighbor. 1969 Pontiac Firebird, Triple white, white exterior, interior, white convertible top. Quick details: Car has had a bunch of work done to it recently including professional paint job, new top, bumpers, and much more. Car is a 350cu in Pontiac small block, 4 barrel, backed with a 2 speed powerglide and dual exhaust. Car runs and drives great.
History:
Third owner of the car. Car was purchased by current owner in 1996. Purchased with 101k miles. At 99k miles engine and transmission were rebuilt. Since then only maintenance has been performed to keep it running good.
Drivetrain:
350 Pontiac small block, powerglide transmission, Pontiac 10 bolt rear end. Added a 4 barrel quadrajet carburetor and 4 barrel intake to boost performance a bit. Car also has new fuel pump and water pump. Car rus great, shifts great and always starts right up. Car has 4 wheel manual drum brakes. The brakes were re-done and new drums were installed a couple thousand miles ago. Car has power steering. The tires on the car are in great shape with lots of tread left.
Exterior:
As stated, car is triple white. Body was professionally repainted in 2012. Paint on the car is nice with no major flaws. At this time the convertible top was also replaced. The top is power and works as it should. The front and new bumpers are new and in perfect condition. 3 out of the 4 headlight bezels are in perfect shape, with no pitting, one has minor pitting, see the pictures for more details. Overall the car is in good shape and solid. Rockers, quarters, etc are solid on the car.
Interior:
Interior of the car is original white. The carpet and seats are original and are in really nice shape for their age. The seat backs of the front seats have been touched up and don't look perfect. Two minor things to note are that the fuel gauge stopped working and the blower motor stopped working. The blower motor worked a few weeks back but has since stopped. The relay clicks which leads me to believe the blower motor may need to be replaced.
The undercarriage of the car is mainly original. It has been undercoated, when? I am not sure. The drivers floor has had a patch installed but the rest of the floors appear to be solid. There is a bit of rust around the front torque box area but its just surface rust, not rotted or in bad shape. Other than that, the pictures pretty much show the car.
Overall this is a very nice car. It has been used as a driver in the summer and stored winters. Car only has around 500 miles since being painted and the top replaced. The car runs and drives well and really doesn't need much work at all.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR 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.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
