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.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
