This is a numbers matching, rotisserie restored, 1968 Firebird 400 4 speed. It is PHS documented. All original sheet metal and rust free. The car was media blasted inside and out and epoxy primered before receiving the base coat/clear coat Vernado Green color. Purists cover your ears. I added the stripes to break up the green. I also wanted a rear spoiler, but did not like the Camaro one everybody else uses. The Trans-Am spoiler and color keyed tail light panel sets the car off. The purist will not like the drilled and slotted power assisted 4 wheel disc brake conversion either, but now it stops like it should. I have the originals. I have receipts for all the parts and machine work. A partial list is as follows: New Hurst shifter ( still have the original ), all new wiring, new heater control, new tach, carpet, seat foam and covers, headliner, door panels, Pypes stainless exhaust system, BF Goodrich T/A Radials (245/60/15), stainless brake and fuel lines, stereo with new technology, Be-Cool aluminum radiator, fan clutch, Pertronix ignition conversion, TRW .030" forged pistons, Crane's new version of the 068 Pontiac HO cam, Comp 1.65:1 roller tipped rockers, Edelbrock Torker manifold ( have original), clutch system, water, oil and fuel pumps, rear anti sway bar, new correct rear springs, re-built original Quadrajet carb and aftermarket Ram Air style air filter ( have original). I also have the original steering wheel assembly.

The engine has just over 500 miles on it. The car runs strong, corners hard and stops on a dime. It is always a draw at the shows. Please feel free to call me at 309-645-6106 with any questions. Happy bidding and good luck. Rick.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
