The Story--
In the spring of 1967 a lady doctor drove past Bill Rapp Pontiac in Syracuse,NY and saw a yellow convertible in the showroom window. She turned her 190SL around went back to the dealer and traded in her Mercedes Benz on this yellow Firebird 400 convertible. This was her nice weather" fun car". She drove this 3-4000 miles a year for 10 years, then her father drove it for 2 years. In 1979 it was driven in and parked in a metal building and has not been touched since. The doctor passed away in 2004. The car is now owned by her sister and has never before been offered for sale. Since it has always been in the same family, the buyer will be the second owner. The Car-- This is a nicely equipped 1967 Firebird 400 convertible. The mileage is correct at 42,867. It has never been abused, modified, hot-rodded, or chopped in any way. Only 2 adults have driven this car. All of the original equipment is in place. It has never been taken apart and the car was running in 1979 when it was parked. Unfortunately it was improperly stored. Nothing was done to preserve the car. The paint is completely oxidized with the exception of the inside trunk lid as shown in the photos. Mice have been in the interior. Insulation and wiring have been chewed through by rodents. There are 3 small missing parts; the 2 "Firebird" emblems on the front fenders and the "400" emblem on the trunk lid. Other than these 3 minor parts the car is 100% complete including all 4 wheel covers, owner's manual and Pontiac floor mats. The doors, hood and trunk all open and close properly. All of the glass is intact. "Hockey Sticks" are on the grill. The floorpans and the trunk floor appear to be solid. The subframe looks solid but needs bushings where it meets the body. The fuel tank was replaced before the car was stored. This car should have a complete "nut & bolt" restoration. The car is rusty and has a few minor dents as shown in the photos. Car comes with complete documentation from Pontiac Historic Services (PHS). This includes copies of the build sheet, special equipment, window sticker and other pertinent information. It is very unusual to find a 100% original complete and numbers-matching muscle car like this. This is absolutely not a clone. This Firebird deserves a quality restoration. The Terms-- The buyer is responsible for removing the car and transportation. This is a true auction with a low starting price and NO RESERVE. Please, no dreamers or tire-kickers. Don't try to dazzle me with your knowledge, I know Pontiacs. Please, no low-ball offers. I have been accurate, honest, and complete in describing this car, but if you have any questions please email me or call (315)447-8730 8AM-8PM eastern time. THANK YOU |

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If 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.
Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.
