1969 FIREBIRD CONVERTIBLE
400 CID, Automatic
NO RESERVE
Up for bid is this nice Firebird Convertible. I bought it to restore for my son but he is headed to Europe this summer so the car has to go.
DESCRIPTION: The car was originally a 6 cylinder. Now a strong 1972 400 CID with headers is in it. I installed a brand new set of dual exhaust with glass packs. Sounds great! The car was originally red but was painted pearl white before I bought it. I have only had the car about 6 months. I had not had it inspected because the exhaust was leaking and it had two bad tail light bulbs. Has good 14" tires and rims. The radio is missing. The electric top motor works excellent. The top is in good shape. Have a few chrome pieces for the windshield. The seats are in good shape. The car starts and drives great but it is not a show car it could use some tlc.
I have no reserve so please bid only if you are serious. The car is also available locally so I reserve the right to close the auction if it is sold before.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
