For sale is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird V8, automatic. I have had this car in my small workshop for over a year and just can not get to it. It is a still a project and needs some tuning, paint and body work and brakes redone. I estimate I have over $8,000.00 in repairs, parts, interior and engine work not counting the actual cost of the car. I will list the good and bad as I know it. Still needs some work but the hard part has been done.

Drivetrain : Engine is a complete rebuilt (350) with 383 stroker steel crank, Chevrolet engine with roller rockers. RV cam, new oil pump, new fuel pump, new timing chain, Edelbrock intake, Holley dual feed carb, march pulleys, aluminum 4 core radiator, new starter, new alternator, new Optima battery, cables, lines and hose with new belts. Has headers and dual exhaust that exit the rear over the axle. Over $5,000 invested in parts alone. Transmission is a stock turbo 350 with a B&M quick silver shifter. Rear axle is a Posi unit 10 bolt stock.

Interior : New interior $2,000 from Trim shop. Includes Moss green new seats, new carpet, new headliner, new package tray, new arm rests new arm rest base, door panels are in perfect shape, factory am radio, center console, rear trunk full carpet and custom fabricated side panes that pull out for jack tools etc. I did not add a spare looks to clean without it. Has the deluxe steering wheel in perfect shape.

Exterior : Has a rust free 400 Firebird hood $800.00, new Trans Am side scoops $150.00 and a new Trans Am rear spoiler $269.00 (not installed) The rear deck lid was rusted on the the lip edge and I just replaced it $150.00. Front fenders look good need sanded and paint, doors look fine sand and paint. The floor boards are fine and have already been repaired (done before me). Rear quarters looks good but both need patches on the lower. The rear window panel also has some rust ( I have a new one that is not installed but goes with sale $100.00). Lower rockers in perfect shape.

Misc. : Has HEI ignition, new wires, plugs, Sun tach, ralley II wheels, new locks, glass all looks to be in great shape, all trim is there and just needs cleaning.

In closing I figure it would take about $3,500 in body work and paint to be a nice car. (I, in fact own a bodyshop and that is our estimate for this car, but we are almost 1 year back logged in our schedule.) The engine needs tuned (carb work, hesitates on acceleration) and I drove it around the block last week and noticed the brakes pull when you stop. Also all weatherstip needs replacing. 

I think this is a very solid car and is a great start for someone who is looking for a deal on a real muscle car,  I ask for a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of winning bid. I would ask for the total within 5 business days for winning bid. Feel free to ask any question or any picture you want that I dont have. Transportation is paid by winning buyer. Thank you for looking.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
