ALL ORIGINAL CAR. ORIGINAL MOTOR,TRANSMISSION,INTERIOR. FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING.

This is my 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400. The car, and motor are numbers matching, and it has 90,867 original miles on it. The car is just about a survivor besides being painted by the previous owner in the early 2000s. I am the third owner of the car.

THE BODY:

When repainted the car was completely painted from under hood to inside doors, and jams to under trunk. The car has a nice shine to it, and the paint is in great shape given year. The original color was Nightshade Green. The car has the original glass in it. The driver side, and passenger side windows do still have the Firebird emblem etched onto them. The rear quarter glass is original, and in good shape. The rear window has no flaws. The front windshield does have a small chip at the top of it away from the line of sight. The car does have all the original chrome trim around windows, and wheel wells. The front, and rear bumpers are original, and in great shape. Still shiny, and no signs of rust. The car has the original factory 400 emblems on the hood, and on the truck. With the Pontiac emblems on the rear quarter panels (blinkers), and on the front bumper. The car has original hubcaps, and fairly new tires on them. There are a couple SMALL spots of rust that I did take pictures of. They are not very noticeable, and are not to large at all.

THE MOTOR & TRANSMISSION:

The motor is the original 400 small block with the original Hydra-matic 400 transmission. The motor is equipped with the original Rochester 4BBL Quadrajet. The car CAME from the factory with air conditioning, and came also with factory power brakes, and factory power steering. The motor is about original as you can get besides hoses, and belts being replaced. It does not have any weird ticking sounds or tapping sounds to it. It crank right up, and idles, and runs smooth. The car turns, and stops better than most late model cars. It turns, and stops with no hesitations, and accelerates without a hiccup. The A/C blows decently cold given the year of the car, and there is quite a temperature difference between outside, and inside car. The transmission shifts perfect. No hesitations or slips. The motor does have a small oil leak. I think coming from the front timing cover. It is not enough to have to put oil in between changes.

THE INTERIOR:

The interior is all original including the clock, and the radio. The gauges, and all knobs (including windshield wipers, and night time lights) are original. The head lights, and running, and brake lights work, including the blinkers. The high beam light switch (on floor), and lights work as well. The horn works too. The front, and rear seats are original, and are in great shape given year. There is a small split on the shoulder of drivers seat (just needs to be restitched NOT torn). The head liner is not falling down, and still is in great shape. The dash, and glove box, and all trim do not have any cracks or tears, and are in great condition. The carpet does have some wear, but nothing to be concerned with. There are no pieces missing in the interior, and it is complete.

The car is garage kept, and within the past year hasnt been driven more than 300 miles. I dont have the time to drive the car or keep up with it as it deserves.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According 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.
