1969 Pontiac Firebird - Solid Original Sheetmetal Car - Must See! on 2040-cars
Sellersville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Why waste your time on a car that needs quarter panels, floorpans, and rockers? You won't find a more solid original sheetmetal car for this price! When working with a car that has had new quarter panels, floor pans, or other sheetmetal you always have to question how square and proper everything is. Not with this car, it is all Genuine GM sheetmetal from 1969, as it was produced on the assembly line!
Up for sale is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird. This car came to Pennsylvania by way of Georgia and it's solid state is a clear indication of that. All of the sheetmetal is ORIGINAL GM sheetmetal. Not NOS stuff, not aftermarket replacements, all original solid metal. You will be very hard pressed to find another project car in this condition in the northeast! The car has a Pontiac 350 V8 with a 2bbl carb on top. It was originally a 3 speed with a Borg-Warner Transmission but has been converted to a 4 speed with a Muncie M21 and Hurst shifter. This is a console equipped car. The Borg-Warner 3 speed is included with the car however. The car has manual brakes and four wheel drums but has Power Steering and Air Conditioning. Air Conditioning state is unknown but the compressor spins free by hand. This car was repainted in the early 1990s with Dupont enamel paint. It was then parked outside on a pavement lot for approximately 10 years. For the past 10 years it has been stored indoors in a garage. The paint is in poor condition and peeling in a few areas. The car also has over spray on it from another project. Just about all of the parts for this care are there and in good condition. Some of the chrome could polish up, other parts(both bumpers) need to be rechromed. The weatherstripping is all dried out and worn out. The interior is in pretty good condition overall. A solid cleaning and a new headliner may well fix it right up. The car has a salvage title due to being purchased after it was abandoned in Bethlehem PA in the early 1990s. We cannot find a single bit of evidence that the car has ever been wrecked, it was just left unloved on the streets. The car was purchased from an impound yard by my Dad(the current owner. The floor pans, rocker panels, doors, roof, right fenders, hood, and trunk lid are all in EXCELLENT shape with only surface rust present. The left front fender has some rot at the bottom of it right by the A-pillar(photo included) and the left quarter panel has some serious bubbling starting at the bottom of the rear section. A skilled person could very easily patch these pieces up and save them from needing full replacement. I have worked on a lot of first generation F-body cars and I've never seen one in such good original condition outside of garage kept from day one car. This would be an extremely good base for a crazy custom project or just a mild restoration. Getting a driving title in the State of PA would be simple. The restoration shop where I work can help you with that when the car is ready. |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
