Huntley, Illinois, United States
1969 Pontiac Firebird 350, cloned to a 400 Convertible Real Deal Matador Red (Code 52) Black Interior Black Power Top (New) 82990 ACTUAL MILES, Paperwork and history confirm mileage, comes with a ACTUAL MILEAGE TITLE This is a very nice example of what a 1969 Firebird should be. This is a all original body panel uncut car from best I can tell. This is absolutely NOT a bondo bucket or abused, neglected car. This is a car that has been lovingly maintained over the years. The car is largely original. The top was replaced recently as well as both lift cylinders and convertible top pump at that time. Fit and finish on this car is great. The floors and trunk pan are free of rot and rust. The rear frame rails, shock towers are all excellent. The pinch weld on the rockers is very nice, with the spot welds clearly evident. The doors have excellent definition of the shell to skin, with no blistering or other rust issues evident. I removed the door panels to investigate for rust on the inside of the skin, none evident. The bottom of the quarter panels have spot welds evident indicating to me no bondo in the 1/4 panels. The trunk floor and drop offs are both excellent. The car has the original 350 engine Code XB, The car runs and drives great, with no overheating, pulling, or unusual noises. The rear end is coded for a 3.08 posi, no noise or issues with the rear end. The interior on the car is FANTASTIC! No issues whatsoever! Looks like it was never sat in. All lights, signals, ect. work as they should. Tires are BRAND NEW! This car is VERY straight, with excellent gaps and fitment. The paint on the car has had one repaint in correct Matador Red. The paint is great for a driver, with no rust bubbles or anything like that. However once again I am extremely picky…and the paint does have some imperfections from age. Overall, a very solid, honest car. Not a perfect car, but not priced as such either. Car is for sale locally and auction may be ended at anytime. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WELCOME! Call 312 622 7533 with any questions or concerns...or to just talk Pontiacs! See My Other Auction, as I have a Windward Blue 69 in almost identical condition 400 car that I purchased from the original owners some time ago as his/hers Firebirds |

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
