Hello. You are bidding on a 1973 Formula Firebird with 400 engine, 4bbl carb, TH400 transmission and cold factory a/c. It is a true numbers matching Formula 400 survivor with 81,000 original miles. This car spent its entire life in the little California town of Portola. It has always been adult owned, driven, and maintained. I am the third owner. Condition is as follows : Engine/Drivetrain: Runs and drives great, engine does not smoke. This is a dependable, well maintained driver with no leaks. Everything works on this car, no major mechanical issues at all. Front tires are like new, rear tread is getting low so they will need replaced at some point, but that's the only thing I can think of that this car needs mechanically. I do, however, still have the original Pontiac wheels that came with the car. Tires on the stock wheels have decent tread but are old. Will ship with wheels and tires shown or the stockers, whichever you choose. Interior: Interior as you can see is in nice driver condition showing normal wear for its age. Steering column is tight. Everything works, blinkers, lights, etc. I would give the interior a solid 8 on a scale of 1-10. Body: This car has ZERO rust issues and still has all GM sheet metal that it came with from the factory. Has been repainted once over original green and has no body filler or damage repair hiding under the paint. What you see is what you get in the pictures. Paint is driver quality with chips, scratches, and parking lot dings, but as you can see is still very presentable as is. Doors, trunk and hood open and shut good. Trunk floor was just stripped down and recoated by a reputable local body shop so that the potential buyer can see just how solid it actually is. Yes, I do have the original jack and spare for this car as well. Body is excellent on this car. Overall: This is an extremely solid California driver with original sheetmetal that can be driven and enjoyed as is. Plus it`s a true Formula 400 car with all original drivetrain, not a clone This car is for sale locally as well as on Ebay so I reserve the right to end my auction at anytime before the scheduled end of auction. Potential Buyers: I have described this car honestly and to the best of my knowledge, but please, if you need additional pictures, or have any specific questions, please ask BEFORE bidding as this sale is final with no warranty. Please understand, this is a 40+year old car, so expect normal wear and tear based on mileage and my decription. Serious buyers can feel free to call me with any questions (530) 307-8973. If I don`t answer, please LEAVE A MESSAGE and I WILL call you back!! Lowball offers will not receive a response, I am not out of work, losing my house, etc. I also reserve the right to end auction at any time for local sale. Yes, this car is available in person for inspection at any time before the end of auction as I have nothing to hide. > >SERIOUS BIDDERS WITH 15 OR LESS FEEDBACK WILL CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING AS I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID OTHERWISE. NOTHING PERSONAL, BUT I HAVE DEALT WITH TOO MANY NON-PAYING BIDDERS IN THE PAST AND IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. THANKS. Out of country buyers: I have sold cars out of country in the past, have references, and am familiar with the shipping process. I prefer West Coast Shipping but will help arrange safe transport to a shipping port of your choice. Thank you Larry

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
