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 |

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
