1968 Pontiac Firebird Sprint OHC


this is a running and driving car, a real AZ/NM survivor
still retains its original Sprint OHC 4.1 Litre Sprint straight 6
(rated back then at I think 215 hp), because of its 4v carb. 
special cam, hi flow intake manifold and dual exhaust manifolds
(thank you John DeLorean once again ) other options include
 PS, 4 spd transmission & dealer installed A/C..
read on !

aprox 1200 of these cars where made and face it most had V8 swaps
done to them, so 1 this original as a survivor is extremely rare.
My guess less then 500 left this original.


Some surface rust sure, but its hard to distinguish the old Burgandy
color from primer, from some surface rust (which easy sands off
in a few minutes..)

Although its been sitting for many yrs not being used, it came 
back to life pretty easily with some fresh gas and a battery.
It obviously still needs a total restoration, but you are starting
with an amazingly straight body front to back with all original
sheetmetal and 90% of its original paint gone down to bare metal.
Windshield was pretty beat up, so I just removed it completely
so it was easier to see. Rest of the glass is good and original.
I didnt drop the gas tank yet, but I may this week to see if the build
sheet is there.

The 14x7 Rallys shown in the car disc brake versions DONT come
with the car, but ARE AVAILABLE OPTIONAL for $500 more.
The car will come with some steel rollers with the original 
very cool 14" Pontiac Wheel covers (see pics)

DRIVETRAIN:  as mentioned earlier, its the original surviving 
4.1 L 6cyl matted to a factory 4 spd transmission, stock rearend
with interestingly enough, multi leaf rear springs. Not sure what
gears came in it stock. It really should be more tuned up.
We did a cap and rotor, but should have new wires, plugs etc.
Starts with a few pumps of the gas when its cold and idles okay
too once its warmed up a few minutes.
New owner may want to clean the gas tank out, even with the
new gas, the exhaust smells a little like old gas.

INTERIOR: The original vinyl showing its age and its obviously
sun beat and worn, but its mostly complete and would restore
with less issues. Floorboards got rust from the inside, and Ive
seen some holes, but some areas there may want to be replaced
during the resto. But the rust isnt from salt and snow and much
less rust then an eastern car this old.
In the dash it has a factory 160 Speedo and factor Hood tach too.
The underdash AC is pretty sweet and contours well the the
stock lower dash. Trunk very solid.


EXTERIOR: Original color was burgandy (most gone)
but alot of the misc trim pieces and emblems NOT shown on the
car still come with the car in the trunk (see pics)
The body very straight for its age and about as rust free as
youll find for a non restored car. 
All the trim seems to be there too. No signs of bondo
or previous damage anywhere.
Still needs full resto, but this is a great starting point
for an easier more profitable restoration or keeper !

SUSPENSION: all factory and original, nothing special but goes
down the road okay for a non restored car.
Drives down the road well for an older car.

This car is 90% rust free Arizona car


Check out ALL the pics below ----->
not sure why people would bid on a car so far away with
small pics showing no details like under the car, but with
OUR ADS, we almost take the car apart to take the pics
our customers deserve !!

it may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra schroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
keeping the metal on our cars more preserved then most states.
more info AFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.


































































































































































I Have a set of 2013 18" Camaro rims with tires on them
with the proper spacers too. If the winner is interested them
let me know and they can buy them for $600 more for the pkg.

There you have it, probably The BEST represented Firebirds on Ebay. 
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes. 

Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. 

Our auctions have NOTHING to hide .
Restore a car like this yourself or locally and you know
exactly what you have in the end.

Email us with ANY questions before you bid please
If you treat yourself to buying one of our vehicles
youll never buy a total rust bucket again from anyone !!
Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself.
Doing restoration on this type of project is less labor
intensive which means overall cost is less too !
With less horrid surprises later on.
Dont let auctions with little to no pics try to fool you. 
With other auctions,  you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
with great pics to help making your decision easier.
Along with ANY other questions you may have.
Email me for a quote for shipping.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek

Thu, Jul 9 2015

The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.
