1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 4-speed Project Car on 2040-cars
Santa Clara, California, United States
|
Up for auction is an original 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 4-speed project car. This is an original California car that was purchased new in the Salinas area and has been off the road since 1977. It has remained in California its entire life. The original 400 motor and Muncie 4-speed are no longer with the car. It now has a non-original 1967 Firebird 326 and automatic transmission that goes with the car. The 3.36 dual traction bar rear axle is original, but the previous owner had it narrowed two inches. The car was disassembled and the outside of the body was sanded to bare metal, then left in a garage. It does not run or drive, but does roll. It would make a great project for someone who wants to either restore the car, or build a hot rod/race car. The PHS documentation verifies this car is a true 400 4-speed car originally equipped with power steering, power drum brakes, remote control right side mirror, custom seat belts, rally gauge cluster & hood mounted tachometer, vanity mirror, wire wheel covers, electric clock, soft ray tinted windshield and E70-14 red stripe wide oval tires. The original exterior color is Signet Gold with a cream vinyl top and gold custom bucket seat interior. The body retains its solid rust free original floors and trunk pan. The car has some rust in the rear window area that is typical of vinyl top cars (see photos). The passenger side quarter panel has some very small rust holes at the bottom and will probably need a lower patch panel. The rear tail panel is damaged and will need replacing. The front windshield area is solid but does have one small area at the base of the dashboard that will need a patch. The body also has some dents and the driver’s side quarter panel has some holes drilled that were used to pull previous dents. Included with the car are a new in the box rear window to trunk panel, driver’s side door skin, trunk lid and a rear tail panel. Also the previous owner cut out a portion of the subframe around the upper shock mount area, so the subframe will need to be replaced. Most of the parts that were removed from the car have been saved and are included with the car as well as some extra parts. Included are some valuable parts such as the original Muncie shifter, Harrison heavy duty radiator and 400 distributor. In addition the car comes with new in the box gold deluxe door panels, gold upholstery set and gold carpet set. This 47 year old car is sold with no warranties expressed or
implied. I have done my best to accurately describe this car. Please no emails
about a buy-it-now price as I will not end the auction early. The car is
available for inspection before the auction ends. The time to inspect the car
is before the auction ends, not after you purchase the car. New eBay members
with zero feedback should contact me before you bid. Please only bid if you intend to purchase the car. On Jun-18-14 at 12:38:35 PDT, seller added the following information: I looked at the windshield area today and noticed a 1"x 1" rust hole at the top of the windshield opening that will need a patch. The rest of the area looks good and solid. |

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
