1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am convertible clone Please read the description thoroughly and I will try to walk you through the condition, etc. This car was previously posted here a few months ago. I have made several updates since then. Updates Include: 1. New period correct deluxe wood steering wheel with PMD horn cap (disregard other wheels in photos) 2. Horn has been fixed 3. Turn signal canceling cam has been fixed 4. Windshield washer pump has been fixed correct washer bottle added 5. Correct black PMD center caps and black lug nuts have been added 6. Front driver's seat has all new foam and springs 7. High speed setting on A/C fan has been fixed (fuse) 8. A/C has been charged and is blowing cold air 9. Small dime sized hole in trunk was patched and trunk was repainted in correct splatter. Exterior: Paint is in good shape, hood is fiberglass with Trans Am stripes that are painted on these are NOT decals. The hood scoops are not functional but are cut out. It has exterior air extractors on the front quarter panels (these are non-functional). I have included a photo of two or three very small rust bubbles about the size of your pinky fingernail on the lower area of drivers side door. All exterior lights work and top (dark blue) is nearly brand new, has working power antenna. I have only had the top up 3 or 4 times in 8 years, it is electric and works perfectly, rear window is plastic. Chrome is in good shape as are the Rally II wheel set that have the correct black PMD center caps, black lug nuts and deep dish chrome rings. Tires all have good tread. Small oil drip which is common for cars of this age. Working hood tach with "Pontiac" emblazened on face which lights up. All glass is good with no cracks, floors and all metal under the back seat is in good shape with no rust. Other then the rust mentioned above I cannot see any other rust on the metal of this car. Interior: No tears in seats or carpets, has blue Firebird floor mat set, dash is good and not cracked, burlwood dash and center console. Interior courtesy lights work, it has a new glovebox and all new seat cushions and springs for the driver's side front seat. Emergency brake works, high beams work glove box and center console all open and close as they should. This car has the correct deluxe wood wheel with "PMD" horn cap, the horn and turn signals/flashers all work perfectly. (Disregard photos showing other steering wheels I left those in to show interior photos.) I have an Audiosound aftermarket AM/FM cassette player with Mp3 connection that fits in the hole where the existing AM radio used to be. This car has tilt wheel with working cigarette lighter. Seatbelts in the front appear to be original rear seat belts were installed by me. Working aftermarket oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge as shown in the photos. Seats all slide and headrests work as they should. Speedometer and odometer both work. Spare tire and spare tire cover along with trunk liner are all included. Engine/Transmission: I have owned 6 Trans Ams and have not been real familiar with engine types beyond how many cubic inches it has. This car came to me badged as a 428, the engine block numbers are as follows and are in the photo section as well. (0739793 YH) VIN # on block does not match VIN number on the dash. This car is an automatic Turbo Hydromatic 350 which shifts and drives fine. We drive it almost every weekend. It has R-12 factory air system which has been charged and is blowing cold air. It has an oversized aluminum radiator with two electric cooling fans. Temp rises if you sit in traffic for a long time but doesn't go above 200. Car runs at about 165-175 degrees around town. This engine is very reliable and has never left me stranded it always starts and always runs. It has a good sounding exhaust with aluminum headers, no holes or exhaust leaks. Engine has a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor and is very clean under the hood. Odometer says 59,304 not sure if that is correct but odometer does work. The car is fast and accelerates nicely. If you look at the underside of the car you can see it that this car has a good clean underside with front disc brakes rear drum brakes. This car was gone through about 9 years ago and looks very clean under the hood and the underside in general. Fuel tank is clean and had a new sending unit installed about a year ago. It has a 10 bolt main Payment must be in the form of a cashiers check, money order or cash. In the case of a cashiers check it must clear my bank before I will release the car. I have a clean title in my hand. Please let the auction run its course before asking what I would take for the car. I have 100% feedback and I am honest, I hope you are as well. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull this ad if it sells. These (clones) are getting harder to find I searched for a while before I found this one. If you would like additional photos of a particular area please message me through eBay and I will do my best to get them to you. I also have a Dropbox account that has additional photos and video. Please message me through eBay for the website if you would like to see those. NOTE: Some older photos show the car without a hood tach, with red wheel caps and Formula steering wheel. It currently has a functioning hood tach, correct black PMD wheel caps and a period correct deluxe wood wheel (the blue one with the PMD center cap). |

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.
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.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
