Riley , of Richmond, VA purchased a 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible for his wife. She did not like the car, and preferred a automatic, so the car sat in the garage for many years, undriven, untouched. Upon distribution of the family estate about 20 years ago, the car was inherited to Mr. Riley's son and has only been driven 61,000 DOCUMENTED miles in it's life. The engine was pulled 6 years ago and simply regasketed, also the car recieved a new convertible top,, as well as basic maintenence items. A new set of tires were also installed, as well as a exhaust. The car largely sits that way today, aside from a modest engine detail and fluid changes and having the brakes gone through... Car runs GREAT, original 400 pops instantly to life, 4 speed shifts like butter, car is completely rattle and shake free, 3.23 posi spins both rear tires on demand. Paint is fantastic for being mostly original and 45 years old.and car is dead straight. Interior is all original sans carpet, and is in fantastic shape. Power top, console clock!...this car has all the right stuff! This car is a awesome driver and has ALL ORIGINAL BODY PANELS, floors are all original and completely uncut, with not a pinhole anywhere. This car has absolutely no rust issues whatsoever. Of course rear rails, rockers, ect. are fantastic as well. I am a advid Pontiac collector, and this is the nicest Firebird I have ever owned. These 100% #'s matching original body panel cars are almost impossible to come by. I have the original manuals, broadcast sheet, ect. THIS CAR WILL NOT BE SOLD CHEAP.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
