1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am convertible clone Please read the description thoroughly and I will try to walk you through the condition, etc. Exterior: Paint is in good shape, hood is fiberglass with Trans Am stripes. The hood scoops are not functional but are cut out. I have included a photo of two or three very small rust bubbles about the size of your pinky fingernail on the lower area of drivers side door. All lights work and top is nearly brand new, has power antenna. I have only had the top up 3 or 4 times in 8 years, it is electric and works perfectly, rear window is plastic. Chrome is in good shape as are the Rally II wheel set. Tires all have good tread. Small oil drip which is common for cars of this age. Working hood tach with "Pontiac" emblazened on face which lights up. Interior: No tears in seats or carpets, has a blue Firebird mat set, dash is good and not cracked, burlwood dash and center console. Interior courtesy lights work. This car has an aftermarket formula wheel with wings down Firebird emblem. A few of the original Trans Am's came with this type wheel in 1969. I have an Audiosound aftermarket AM/FM cassette player with Mp3 connection that fits in the hole where the existing AM radio used to be. This car has tilt wheel with working cigarette lighter. Seatbelts in the front appear to be original rear seat belts were installed by me. Engine/Transmission: I have owned 6 or 7 Firebirds or Trans Ams and have not been real familiar with engine types beyond how many cubic inches it has. This car came to me badged as a 428, the engine block numbers are as follows and are in the photo section as well. (0739793 YH) VIN # on block does not match VIN number on the dash. This car is an automatic which shifts and drives fine. We drive it almost every weekend. It has R-12 factory air which needs to be recharged but does produce ice cold air. I have not recharged it in two years since I keep the top down almost all the time. It has an oversized aluminum radiator with two electric cooling fans. Temp rises if you sit in traffic for a long time but doesn't go above 200. Car runs at about 165-175 degrees around town. This engine is very reliable and has never left me stranded it always starts and always runs. It has a good sounding exhaust with aluminum headers. Engine has a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor and is very clean under the hood. Odometer says 59,304 not sure if that is correct but odometer does work. The car is fast and accelerates nicely. Separate oil pressure and temperature gauges have been installed and both work fine. What does this car need? 1. Horn on steering wheel does not work. (missing the internal cam piece) separate horn button under dash works. 2. Turn signal return does not work (see above) 3. "High" selection on AC blower motor does not work (my mechanic says it is a relay under the hood) 4. Driver's seat could use new spring/cushion it is probably the original 5. Windshield washer spray nozzles that go on the wipers are missing, I have a set but have not installed them 6. Parking brake light on dash does not work possibly a burned out light bulb These are all very minor issues and do not affect driving of this beautiful car. Payment must be in the form of a cashiers check, money order or cash. In the case of a cashiers check it must clear my bank before I will release the car. I have a clean title in my hand. Please let the auction run its course before asking what I would take for the car. I have 100% feedback and I am honest, I hope you are as well. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull this ad if it sells. These (clones) are getting harder to find I searched for a while before I found this one. If you would like additional photos of a particular area please message me through eBay and I will do my best to get them to you. I will try to get a video of it going down the road before the end of the auction. If you hire a shipping company I will work with them to get the car to you. NOTE: Some older photos show a wooden steering wheel and no hood tach. Car now has hood tach and Formula steering wheel. |

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.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
