1967 Firebird Convertible 400 4-speed on 2040-cars
Menlo Park, California, United States
|
This auction is for a 1967 Pontiac Firebird convertible 400 4-speed car. Originally a 326 car that now has a non-original 1967 Pontiac 400 engine (code YD) installed. The Muncie 4-speed transmission and 3.23 dual traction bar rear axle are original to the car. The car runs and drives well, but should be considered a project car. The body retains its solid rust free original floors, trunk pan (with original splatter paint), quarter panels and doors. The paint is old, worn, chipped and scratched. The passenger door has a large shallow dent, the passenger fender has three holes drilled for a mirror and the rear tail panel has a trailer plug installed (see photos). The door jams and the underside of the trunk lid still retail the factory applied white paint. All four cocktail shakers are still on the car. The manual top is torn and will need replacing. The car has new brakes (drum) and wheel cylinders, new tires with 14x6 rally ll wheels, new battery and cables, new fuel pump, new heater core and water pump, new stock exhaust system, new clutch and rebuilt stock 1967 4-speed quadrajet carburetor. The motor runs well with good oil pressure and does not smoke or leak oil, but has a faint knocking sound that comes and goes. The lifters also clatter for a few seconds after the car sits for a few days. When I purchased the car I was told the engine had at one time been rebuilt, but I have no receipts. The transmission shifts smoothly and has a Hurst shifter installed. The rear axle has the factory dual traction bars and operates quietly. The engine and engine compartment have been nicely painted and detailed. The car is equipped with black deluxe interior, factory wood wheel and new carpets have been installed. The driver’s seat bottom is torn and the dash has a 1/2 ” hole drilled under the headlight switch. The original AM radio works and the speaker has been re-coned. Everything on the car such as the lights, gauges, horn, wipers and heater work. The car was originally sold in Rhode Island and appears from some old receipts moved to Texas in early 1970. The car has been in California since the mid-seventies. I have the original protect-o-plate, owner’s manual and body broadcast sheet. This is a solid smooth running and driving project car. It won’t need floors or quarter panels installed. You can drive it as you work to improve its condition. This 47 year old car is sold with no warranties expressed or implied. I have done my best to accurately describe this car. The reserve price is fairly set and I will not reveal it, so no emails asking about what my reserve price is. The car is available for inspection before the auction ends. The time to inspect is before the auction ends, not after you purchase the car. Please only bid if you intend to purchase the car.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
