1970 Pontiac Firebird.  Was originally a 350 4b auto on the floor/console car.  Origional color was the one year only Polar White - can still see it under trunk and in other hidden areas.  It was painted red sometime in the 80s.  Now it has a Chevy 454 with Edelbrock heads, Edelbrock intake, demon carb, MSD ignition/distributor.  Motor was built a while back, but runs nice once off idel due to intake/carb/cam/heads combination.  It has headers with Flowmaster full dual stainless exhaust. 

Rockers, fenders, doors are all nice - no repair needed.  The blue fenders were better then the originals so they were swapped.  I have 2 front ends - both useable, but one a bit better.  Underside of the car is fantastic - never touched and no rot.  It will need lower rear quarters patched (I have patches), small section of outer wheel house, and the rear lower valance.

Interior needs restored, but decent for it's age.  Driver side seat has the usual tear, but passenger and rear are fine.  Dash has a couple of cracks, console door hinge is broke.

It will run and drive as it is.  I put new brakes on all 4 corners.  It shifts as it should.  Rear is not posi - one wheel peel and it will sure make a big cloud of smoke with those old school tires and rims.  I have a formula hood that needs the corners repaired, but it won't fit over the 454's intake/carb combo.  I was going to buy a L88 or cowl hood.

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AS WELL.  The Pontiac 350 is free and in good condition, but would need at least gone over.  I have the heads/intake off of it ready for rebuild.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
