Vehicle History

The original owner purchased new in 1967. He was from the Mid-West.    He moved to California in 1969 and brought the car with him.  He sold the car in 1983 to the second owner (also Californian) where it remained in his car collection for 30 years. 

Exterior

A recent exterior restoration was completed.  The exterior paint was shot in GM silver using high quality DuPont Chromabase paint.  The body is very straight.   The car sits on show quality powder coated rally II wheels with new center caps and lugs, mounted to Goodyear Eagle ST tires with excellent rubber.   All exterior emblems were replaced, new front and rear bumpers, rocker panels, wheel trim, door handles, driver mirror, front and rear window molding, weather stripping.   Stunning car with perfect stance and presence.

Interior

The dark turquoise deluxe interior was a very rare color option in 1967 and is an outstanding complement to the silver exterior.  The original interior build tags were found under the seats.   

The interior was treated to brand new carpeting, top quality replacement deluxe door panels (Al Knoch), and a re-upholstered original dash pad.  The front and rear seats were reupholstered several years back - they look great with very nice foam.     There is a very small (quarter size) hole in the passenger rear side of the headliner, otherwise the rest of the headliner is in excellent condition.

Undercarriage

The chassis / undercarriage remains in its original stock form with no rust or chassis repair thanks to 45 years on the West coast.   Finding an untouched undercarriage like this is pretty remarkable.   The floor panels and frame rails are outstanding.  The original trunk floor is rust free.  It was treated to a light splatter paint coating and looks outstanding.  The shock towers are perfect.

Mechanical

All gauges, lights, electrics, wipers, horn function properly.  The original AM radio is still in the car and works perfect.  

The original 100% stock 400 engine fires right up easily and runs incredibly strong with plenty of power. Original Quadrajet carburetor.   The TH400 transmission shifts are smooth. The car tracks straight and stops well.   Brand new custom dual exhaust set up with turbo mufflers gives the car an authentic, performance sound.  Super reliable and tight.  The original engine mounts were just replaced.  The front transmission seal was also replaced.

This is a beautiful and rare bird that will definitely win its share of car shows.  Could easily be a Pontiac Nationals caliber Firebird with very minimal effort.  The car is being sold as is and is also offered for sale locally.  I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time.  If you’re looking for a first year authentic Firebird 400, I would not pass this one up.  The car is available for inspection. Private Seller. Please contact me with any questions.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

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.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
