1968 Pontiac Firebird for sale. To start out this is not a Michigan car, its a southern car and the metal proves it. You would be stretching it to find one this clean anywhere in the midwest. It is powered by a 454, turbo 400 trans with a shift kit and ratchet shifter, and a curry 9" rear axle with 3.55 gearing. Not sure of any of the specs on the powertrain because the previous owner did the work, I do know it runs very well though. The last owner also put a disc brake kit on the front and it stops as well as any new car. He also put an air suspension setup on the back of the car. It does lack power steering which is no issue once its moving. Within the last year I put a new steering gearbox on it, new wheels, new tires, new cap, new rotor, had the whole front suspension gone through and redone with standard compenents, and just put a new battery in it last week. Everything on the car works except the backup lights which is probably a result of the transmission swap. The front seats have some minor splits along the seams, but it is an original setup and is very presentable at car shows. Its a muscle car that makes some noise and is a blast to drive. If you want a beautiful classic car and/or plenty of attention this is the car for you. Car is sold as-is and please bid only if you intend to purchase it.

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.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
