1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Clone!

1969 PONTIAC FIREBIRD! THE ABSOLUTE BEST YEAR FOR THE FIREBIRD! A GREAT START TO AN EASY RESTORATION! BUILD YOUR VERY OWN TRANS AM CLONE!

     Please note that I do have this car for sale locally and I will end the auction early should it sell prior to the auction ending. So if interested, please do not hesitate to call Shawn at 816-308-0351.

     When I evaluate building a car, I usually like to gauge them on a scale of A to Z. A being a car that needs everything, from sheet metal work to acquiring parts and Z being your finished product. I would rate this car about an L/M. It has had a tremendous amount of work done to it at this point and much of the hard to find items have been found. All of the parts that I have are in good condition. This Firebird is right at the hump and is on the verge of becoming an easy sail.

     The story behind this car is that it began as a project for a Father & Daughter duo. The Father immediately began acquiring parts for the car far before the car ever began being restored. Just in new sheet metal he had spent close to 4k dollars. After purchasing the sheet metal, he had the car sent off and the sheet metal work began to take place. Some where in the neighborhood of 4,500 has already been spent on just the labor for getting the body work where it sits today. Now take in to account that he spent almost 3k just in amassing the parts necessary to complete the Firebird (interior components primarily). Now take in to account that the car itself (when it began at stage A) was purchased for 3k dollars. At this point, he had lost count of his expenses but as you can see, he had invested over 14k dollars in this Firebird.

     How I was able to end up with it is simple. Along their journey of this restoration, another 1969 Firebird came along that was nearly completed. It seemed to be the more viable solution at the time and now sits within their garage, a fully restored 1969 Firebird. Seeing as they had achieved what they ultimately set out for, there was no need for this Firebird any longer. So if you're looking for an excellent jump start on building your own, framed off Firebird, this is your opportunity. This is that rare chance to get a lot of bang for your buck and to build your car right as well as to your exact specifications! All of the work that has been completed has been done so by professionals so the sheet metal work is very straight and correct.

Body: This Firebird has already been taken off the frame and was mounted to a rotisserie. All of the floors were cut out and replaced with a brand new one piece floor pan. The rear frame rails were also cut away and replaced with brand new rails. The firewall was also done away with and replaced with a brand new firewall. The trunk at this point has been cut out and the new trunk pan is now sitting in it, awaiting to be welded in. The passenger side quarter has already been replaced and is completed. The only items left to do are the rockers (which I have, brand new), welding in the new drivers side quarter (which I also have, full quarter), and the wheel housing (I also have, brand new). I do have a good set of doors which have everything in them and a good set of fenders.

Engine & Mechanical: I do not have a drive train for the Firebird. I do have a set of four speed pedals which I will include with the Firebird.

Interior: I do have all of the interior for the Firebird. I have a good set of door panels, a set of buckets, and a back seat. I also have a good instrument panel along with its plastics, all of which is in excellent condition. Please note that everything that I have for this car is located within the photos below. The only two items that are not photographed are the bucket seats and back seat as they were not at the same location when I took the photos.

     Located below you will find photos of everything that I have. Beyond a motor & transmission, this Firebird is mostly complete. I have all of the stainless, grille, valance, bezels, carpet, door panels, I even have all of the nuts, bolts, & screws, all catalogued away in a plastic container so as to make it easier for reassembly. I believe that this Firebird will make a phenomenal automobile for someone and it should not be too difficult of a task to finish the restoration. Whoever ends up owning it can take comfort in the fact that the majority of the hard work has been completed.

     I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the Firebird early as we do have it for sale "locally". My goal here is to sell the Firebird. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this Firebird. As always, good luck and happy bidding!

Thanks,

Shawn

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
