1968 Pontiac Firebird

350 2bbl Automatic

I am selling my 1968 Pontaic Firebird.  I will try to describe the car in as much detail as possible (even the negative details) so please read carefully.  Because of differences in meaning for people, it's probably best to see the car for yourself first anyway.

This car has a clean MO title.  It is currently licensed and drive-able.  

The car runs really well.  It cold starts on its own, even in below freezing temperatures.  It drives well, and shifts well.  The 350 motor & transmission was rebuilt less than 2k miles ago.

The car is matching numbers.  All the interior (except for a couple of speakers that were added in the 80's) is original to the car.  It is currently missing passenger side carpet on the floor.  

It has been garage kept for the majority of its recent life, and I took it out for a drive only during appropriate weather.

The paint is original to the car.  

A skilled restorer can salvage all of the fenders on this car.

The lights and turn signals all work.  I purchased new turn signals which are also included with the car.

The exterior color is originally Primavera Beige, and the interior is the beautiful 60's Green-Gold color.

I have freshly painted Rally II Wheels with new rims that are being included with the car.

The bumper has been removed and is not currently attached, but that is also included with the car.

The engine has recently been repainted the original Pontiac Blue.

Now, on to the known issues:

The body has some rough patches.  No car is immune to rust, and that includes muscle cars.  The car has some rust in the normal areas that Firebirds and Camaros share.  There is only minor surface rust in the trunk (really minor) and the floors are solid and rust free.  The fender rust did spread to create a small hole in corner of the passenger side floor (see picture and note that the insulation put on the floorboards of cars is also brown.  The rust is localized to the hole and a small surrounding area.).

The front fenders have two minor dents near the headlights.

The gas gauge does not work.

The dash light is out (behind the speedometer, etc)

The A/C does not work.

When the brights are switched on, one of the standard lights stays on.


Overall this car would make a great restoration project or daily driver.  No mechanical work needs to be done to the vehicle.  I would encourage anyone legitimately interested in the car to see it for themselves if possible.  I have tried to explain all of the details of the car to the best of my ability to prevent any time from being wasted.  I would be happy to answer any questions.  Please also note that this vehicle is for sale locally, and therefore this ad can be cancelled at any time.  I feel like my asking price is fair, but I will entertain offers.  Everyone likes to feel like they're getting the best deal possible, so offer away.  I will only accept cash as the method of payment.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

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."

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.
