US $7,500.00
Year:1979 Mileage:32000
Location:

Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States

Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States

This is a TRUE 1979 Firebird Espirit RedBird (See VIN). Please know what a redbird is before you inquire about this specific car. It is not a Trans Am, Formula or BaseFirebird. It does not have the eagle on the hood.

Paint is newer (few years) and interior is almost perfect. The odeometer reads 32,000 miles however the title states TMU (true mileage unknown) due to age. Thus I have no idea how many miles are truly on the car. I was the told the drivetrain is original and has the 301 2 barrel engine. Metal, trim, etc are all good and very solid body with no known rust. Very Nice but if you are going to look down the side of the car it is not perfect..there are some minor imperfections.

The car is special in that everything is there and not ripped out like so many of these 2nd generation cars had done. I had to spend roughly 2K after purchasing to fix some issues.

It is currently under a classic car insurance policy with agreed value of 9,000.00 The PA inspection and emissions are good until 6/2014. The car has a new exhaust system, weather stripping, tires and many other recent suspension items. Interior is a 9.5 out of 10. (very small) crack on dash. That is about it. rug, headliner, seats, console, gauges, etc. all 9.5 out of 10.

Please email me with more questions or send your phone # and I can call you to discuss. This car was supposed to ship west with me during my job relo in December but the winter has been to brutal to trailer it so it is still located in Allentown, Pa. Final attempt at listing now that the weather is nice in NorthEast. No trades and I will not take $5,000 for the car. You will not find a car like this, what the repairs in it and looks for my asking price.

**NOTE** Please note you must come see the car (in Person) and go to a local notary to do all paperwork. No exceptions or shipping. Please do not ask for a picture of every square inch of the car. Come see it for yourself. The pictures below will show you it is exceptionally clean.

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.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
