1969 Pontiac Firebird - Solid Original Sheetmetal Car - Must See! on 2040-cars
Sellersville, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Why waste your time on a car that needs quarter panels, floorpans, and rockers? You won't find a more solid original sheetmetal car for this price! When working with a car that has had new quarter panels, floor pans, or other sheetmetal you always have to question how square and proper everything is. Not with this car, it is all Genuine GM sheetmetal from 1969, as it was produced on the assembly line!
Up for sale is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird. This car came to Pennsylvania by way of Georgia and it's solid state is a clear indication of that. All of the sheetmetal is ORIGINAL GM sheetmetal. Not NOS stuff, not aftermarket replacements, all original solid metal. You will be very hard pressed to find another project car in this condition in the northeast! The car has a Pontiac 350 V8 with a 2bbl carb on top. It was originally a 3 speed with a Borg-Warner Transmission but has been converted to a 4 speed with a Muncie M21 and Hurst shifter. This is a console equipped car. The Borg-Warner 3 speed is included with the car however. The car has manual brakes and four wheel drums but has Power Steering and Air Conditioning. Air Conditioning state is unknown but the compressor spins free by hand. This car was repainted in the early 1990s with Dupont enamel paint. It was then parked outside on a pavement lot for approximately 10 years. For the past 10 years it has been stored indoors in a garage. The paint is in poor condition and peeling in a few areas. The car also has over spray on it from another project. Just about all of the parts for this care are there and in good condition. Some of the chrome could polish up, other parts(both bumpers) need to be rechromed. The weatherstripping is all dried out and worn out. The interior is in pretty good condition overall. A solid cleaning and a new headliner may well fix it right up. The car has a salvage title due to being purchased after it was abandoned in Bethlehem PA in the early 1990s. We cannot find a single bit of evidence that the car has ever been wrecked, it was just left unloved on the streets. The car was purchased from an impound yard by my Dad(the current owner. The floor pans, rocker panels, doors, roof, right fenders, hood, and trunk lid are all in EXCELLENT shape with only surface rust present. The left front fender has some rot at the bottom of it right by the A-pillar(photo included) and the left quarter panel has some serious bubbling starting at the bottom of the rear section. A skilled person could very easily patch these pieces up and save them from needing full replacement. I have worked on a lot of first generation F-body cars and I've never seen one in such good original condition outside of garage kept from day one car. This would be an extremely good base for a crazy custom project or just a mild restoration. Getting a driving title in the State of PA would be simple. The restoration shop where I work can help you with that when the car is ready. |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob 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.
