Up for sale is my 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350. The car was originally a 350 2bbl 3 speed manual car. It now has a brand new 400 4bbl connected to a 4-speed Muncie transmission with a Hurst shifter. The car was painted a little more than 2 years ago and the paint is in good condition but is starting to show a few blemishes. The car is very solid and straight and has very little rust. The interior of the car was recently redone minus the dash. The car has an aftermarket exhaust system with flow-thru style mufflers, so it is quite loud and mean. The 400 has 340 miles on it currently and the clutch was recently inspected and the throwout bearing replaced. It has front disk brakes and rear drums. 

The engine was built by S&J engines in Spokane. It is a 1974 400 pontiac containing:
A brand new forged steel crank
Elgin 980P Performance camshaft (.480 intake lift)
New Elgin lifters
All new new valves, springs, and rocker arms
Edelbrock Performer intake
Edelbrock Performer 625 cfm carburetor with electric choke
Edelbrock valve covers and air cleaner
Car starts right up even on this cold rainy weekend and runs strong
Engine came with a 7-year or 100,000 mile warranty, but I am not sure if that is transferable. 

The body of the car is very solid and only has rust on the bottom of the driver side fender and small patch in the rear wheel well. The car just had new Radial TA tires put on 700 miles ago. It also retains its original rubber bumpers which are in the best shape that I have seen on any 1974 F-body. The windshield has been cracked and will need to be replaced. 

The interior of the car has the reupholstered original pontiac highback seats, a new kenwood stereo with kicker speakers, a wood GT Grant steering wheel with tilt wheel, a tachometer strapped to the steering column and new gauges (except for the gas gauge which is finicky). The headliner and door skins were recently redone and look really nice. 

The transmission is a 4-speeed muncie out of a 1968 pontiac firebird. It has a 10.4 inch clutch which works real well. 

Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will help in whatever ways I can. And the car will be no problem to load onto a trailer and I would be more than willing to do this free of charge. 

Overall its a very nice car and I am sure it will go quickly. Feel free to email or text me at any time of the day with any questions at carmail132@yahoo.com or 858-750-0170

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

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.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
