Up for auction is a 1969 Firebird 350  with T350 transmission.  I have over 30k invested in this car and my loss is your gain.  When I bought this car in 2011,  I drove it to the Professional Restoration Shop who did all the work.  I just got the car back from the shop.    Finish the car the way you want it!!  I have the title and PHS ready for the new owner.


The car is all ready for paint.  Once you paint the car and reassemble it you will have a really great car. The car is razor straight.    I just don't have the time or money to continue the project.   I spared no expense to get it to this point.  These cars are only going up in value.  


Work done to the car:

The complete car was completely stripped down to bare metal and all metal work was done.  Most parts were media blasted. There is NO rust left on this car. Then every thing was Epoxy coated.

The quarter panels, inner & outer wheel houses, floor panels, door skins, dash top and trunk lid were all professional replaced.  Other panels patched when needed.  

The original rear end was media blasted and rebuilt.  Leaf springs, shocks, brakes, and parking brakes all replaced.

Bottom of the car was completely stripped to bare metal, POR, Epoxy coated and  had Truck bed liner sprayed on.  

The motor (not original)  400 & transmission T350 was removed from the car, stripped of paint & painted, all new seals, oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, timing chain were installed ( rebuilt Holley carb included).  The previous owner rebuilt the 400 motor 10k miles ago.  I just had my shop freshen it up.   I do not have the original motor.   The 400 & trans are currently mounted in the car for transport.  It is not wired up so you can not hear it run.   You will have to bring a trailer to pick this up.

Frame connectors were installed

 

The subframe was removed, stripped,  mounts repaired , Epoxy coated and reinstalled.

The car has all new bushings installed


Car will come with all new pre bent  fuel lines & brake lines (not installed)  and new wire harnesses for under hood & rear end (not installed)

The car comes with all the parts to put it back together.   All the parts are sorted and in plastic tubs.  Everything is accounted for.  I drove the car to the shop and as the car was disassembled all the parts were sorted and placed into plastic tubs to make sure we had everything for reassembly.   Most parts are labeled.

The headliner and Front seats were completely redone. Everything's new, skins, padding,  rear plastic covers.   All seats, door panels, side panels, dash pad, glove box door, uncut instrument panel and center console come with the car.

The whole car was sprayed in high build,  areas of need were finished in Rage fiberglass body filler and the whole car was blocked sanded 3 times.  The car is now razor straight.

 

Please look at all the pictures and check out the link I posted from the Restoration Shop.   The link has over 600 pictures of the work being done.

I encourage all interested parties to come view the car.  You will not be disappointed.  

The winning bidder must send a $500 Paypal deposit within 48 hours of the end of the auction or car will be relisted and negative feedback left.   All sales final.  I also have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction early.  


You will have to bring a trailer or arrange transport.   You can not drive the car.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

Junkyard Gem: 1968 Pontiac Catalina sedan

Wed, Aug 14 2019

During the late 1960s, General Motors ruled the American car landscape, growing so dominant that the federal government considered antitrust action to break up the company. The General offered sporty Corvettes and muscular GTOs and rugged pickups and opulent Fleetwoods, sure, but the fat part of the sales numbers came from the bread-and-butter full-sized sedans and coupes, which boasted superior engineering and modern-looking styling; in 1967 alone, the Chevrolet Division moved 972,600 full-sized cars, and that's not even counting the 155,100 full-sized Chevy station wagons that year. Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile sold the same big cars with division-specific engines and bodywork, and they flew off the showroom floors. For 1968, the entry-level full-sized car from Pontiac was the Catalina, and I've found an example of the most affordable version of the most affordable big Pontiac for 1968, discarded in a northeastern Colorado wrecking yard about 50 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. A '68 GM full-sized coupe, convertible, or even a four-door hardtop might be worth the cost and effort of a restoration, but a no-options base-trim-level post sedan with rust and plenty of body filler just won't get many takers these days. Like so many vehicles that sit outside for decades on the High Plains, this one is full of rodent nests. I wouldn't want to work on the interior of this car without a respirator and a lot of work with a shop-vac, because hantavirus is a significant danger in these parts. Alfred Sloan's plan to offer a stepladder of prestige for GM buyers, in which your first new car was a Chevrolet and you moved up through Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick until you became sufficiently prosperous for Cadillac ownership, worked brilliantly for decades. In 1968, the Catalina was a notch above its Impala sibling on the Snob-O-Meter, with the sedan starting at $3,004 (about $22,600 in 2019 dollars). In fact, the V8-equipped 1968 Chevrolet Impala sedan listed at $3,033, and the Oldsmobile Delmont 88 went for $3,146, so the lines were beginning to blur between the relative positions of the lower-end GM divisions by this time. The base engine in the 1968 Catalina was a 400-cubic-inch (6.5 liter) V8 rated at 265 horsepower and enough torque to tow an aircraft carrier.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
