1980 Firebird 73 Front End Shaker Hood on 2040-cars
Shepherdsville, Kentucky, United States
first off I took this car on trade and I'm going to be harsh with my description I'm going to try to point out every flaw I can find, so please look at the pictures closely ask questions I would much rather discourage you from buying than get it home and be disappointed my option of the car is its a great car, Has lots of curb appeal, Runs good, sounds mean, and what little I have drove it was a pleasure to drive, had no unusual squeaks or rattle this slick firebird started life as a 1980 turbo firebird, has power windows, power steering, power 4 wheel disc brakes positrac rear. It presently has a 400 Pontiac motor, aluminum intake, full length headers, dual exhaust (be aware that all of the emissions controls have been removed) the ac condenser lines have been cut, has a 350 turbo trans, interior.... the rear seats have new PUI covers, front seats are aftermarket (hug you pretty good) dash and door panels appear to be original and in super good shape. the car appears to have no rust, I have not inspected behind spoiler or ground effects the front end was replaced with a 71-73 has shaker hood.... because of the aluminum intake being taller this causes the hood to be raised slightly on the back near windshield the front spoiler is a mix match of the old and newer firebird if you look close you can tell it doesn't follow the bottom of the front bumper perfectly the paint appears to be a Candy blue color and in spots it wasn't applied perfectly so there are different shades the driver door looks like it has new hinges and the door still needs some adjusting. if you look close at the bottom edge of the door it looks like when you ever replaced the hinges that they had it on some sort of supporting devise and the bottom edge has a very slight bend you will need to get down on the floor to see.... the driver door glass doesn't roll up correctly I think some adjusting on it and it will be good as new has 15x8 aluminum wheels the rear tires are 272 60 15 drag radials and the front are 275 60 15 tires but will need to be replaced as they are old I have 2 sets of T-tops that go with the car one set is Chrome color and the other set is smoked I have only one set of T-top bags If you have any question please ask.... I have this car listed else where and reserve the right to sell until the reserve is met when the reserve is met It will no longer be for sale locally On Sep-17-14 at 20:53:04 PDT, seller added the following information: just some clarification referring to "old" tires.... the rear tires are like new...just the front tires are the ones that will need to be replaced in the near future referring to the oil leak..... I started the motor this morning let it run 30-40 minutes let it sit till this evening and it left an oily spot the diameter of the bottom of a soda can right under the flywheel dust cover could be as simple as a oil sending unit or as bad as a rear main seal I'm not sure this size oil leak could be considered unreasonable for a 69 model motor, but I would much rather you know now..... I have been places that I was asked to put a piece of card board under my truck "just incase" referring to a trade.... I do trade as this is how I ended up with this beauty Thanks for asking |

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
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.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
