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

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac Vibe

Wed, Apr 17 2024

Just over a month before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009, General Motors announced that the 83-year-old Pontiac Division would be "phased out" by the end of 2010. Only three Pontiac vehicles were sold as 2010 models in the United States: the Solstice, Vibe and G6 (new G3s were sold here during 2010 but they were all 2009 models, while the G5 was available as a 2010 model only in Canada and Mexico). Today's bit of junkyard automotive history is one of the very last Vibes ever built, found in a yard near Denver, Colorado. This car is significant not just as one of the final vehicles to bear Pontiac badges but also as one of the last cars built by the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated GM-Toyota joint venture in California, better known as NUMMI. The NUMMI factory began life as GM's Fremont Assembly, which built its first vehicle (a C-Series pickup) in 1963 and closed in 1982 after building its final vehicle (an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera). Rebooted as NUMMI, the first 1985 Chevrolet Nova (an Americanized AE82 Toyota Corolla Sprinter) rolled off the line in December of 1984. A quarter-century and better than eight million vehicles hence, NUMMI shut down production after its last Corolla was finished on April 1, 2010. While there was some noise about the Oakland Athletics building a new stadium on the site at the time, Tesla ended up buying most of the site soon after that. Tesla now builds more vehicles per year there than NUMMI ever did. The Vibe was co-developed with Toyota and based on the same platform as the ninth-generation Corolla. The Toyota Matrix was mechanically identical and was built in Canada, while the Japanese-market version (known as the Toyota Voltz) was built on the same NUMMI line as the Vibe and shipped across the Pacific. The Vibe/Matrix/Voltz got a redesign for the 2009 model year, but few noticed due to all the turmoil in the GM world at the time. The final Vibe was built in August 2009. This car was built in July of 2009, just before the end. It was living in West Texas just prior to coming to Colorado. El Paso is about a ten-hour drive from this car's current location. Once in the Centennial State, it got parked somewhere it shouldn't have been and ended up being auctioned to Pick Your Part. An occupant of this Vibe had time to sample some of the local agricultural products before that happened.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
