1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350 - Project Car on 2040-cars
Mount Juliet, Tennessee, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350. I have owned this car since 1979 but it has been sitting waiting to be restored for several years because ex-husband cracked the block in the original motor. I have the build sheets and window sticker from the Pontiac Historic Society picture below that will, hopefully, answer most questions you may have. Two years ago we began stripping out the old interior to see just how much work was needed to begin the restoration process. After removing al the old carpeting, sound barrier, seats, etc., I took photos to a local classic car restoration center and they said the only major items it appeared to need were trunk and floor pans and some work around the front windshield pillar posts as everything else seems to be surface rust. The paint job that can still be seen in the photos is the original paint job including the black stripes which were added at the original dealer (Porter Pontiac in Lebanon, TN) thus making this car, essentially, a one-of-kind. I have managed to locate and purchase a set of the OEM gold reflective stickers that you see down the sides of the car. Here is a list of the items that will go with the car that are not pictured: Front & Rear seats (Gold Hobnail from a 78 Trans Am) Here is a list of the shop/service manuals, brochures and other paperwork that will also be included in the sale: Pontiac 1972 Service Manual (2 of them) On Jun-13-14 at 02:58:20 PDT, seller added the following information: A couple of people have asked questions about the frame rails and AS FAR AS I KNOW, they are just surface rusted. The car was NEVER parked overnight with road salt on it while I owned it (and I bought it in 1979). Also, the original seats seen in the photos were removed and trashed when we got started on the restoration process which is why I found and purchased the gold hobnail seats from a 1978 Trans Am to replace them with. Any other questions, please ask. |

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
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.
