1968 Firebird 400 coupe SALVAGE NEVADA TITLE. In 2004 the car was hit in the front passenger quarter panel. The panel has been repaired poorly. The twin scoop hood was replaced with a 350 hood in 2004. I had the 350 hood replaced with a used factory twin scoop hood. It is in decent condition but it does have rust at the very front of the hood on the passenger side. There is no frame damage. The car has some rust around the top of the wheel wells. The distributor has been replaced new. The radiator has been roded and re-cored. Carberator has been soaked and re-built. New ignition switch, starter relay, starter, throttle & kick-down mount is new as is the voltage regulator. The transmission filter and gasket have been replaced. It shifts well as it should. Brakes work, but if you wanted to put it on the road as your restoration progresses, new tires and serviced brake parts would be recommended. The rear window frame looks rough but it is only surface rust, nothing that will need to be welded The windshield is cracked as is the dash pad. Aftermarket steering wheel and radio. It has a tilt steering column, not sure if it is factory. Interior will need total overhaul. I checked the trim code and it is original and a low production style. The trim plate above the brake booster reads: ST 68-22637 LOR 16302 BODY PAINT
TR 257 G-G The engine runs real good. It is the original numbers matching 400ci 335 HP. The transmission is a turbo 400 automatic. It has the factory shift assembly and knob. It doesn't have any cover. All the inside handles are there along with the rear seat panel ashtrays.
I will assist in loading the car for transport. Delivery around town is possible after payment in full has been received.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
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 recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General 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.
