This 1968 Firebird 400 Convertible has gone thru a very extensive restoration over the last 8 years or so. This car just stops people in their tracks. It runs and drives excellent, with the most beautiful exhaust tone you can imagine. I took it to the 750 car show and shine in Roseburg this year, and it took first place out of all of the Camaro's and Firebird's there.

Here is a list of what has been done to the car:

 

Freshly rebuilt 12 bolt rear end with 3:73 gears and a new Eaton Posi unit

Rust free chassis completely cleaned and painted

All new brake lines with OEM style armor in the bends, New hoses, shoes, pads, Master and Wheel cylinders, etc.

Power Front Disc Brakes

All new front and rear Suspension, air shocks with separate fill lines, and front end components with polyurethane bushings on the front anti-sway bar

Smooth shifting M-21 Muncie 4-speed transmission with excellent clutch

Rebuilt Non-numbers matching 400 engine with Edelbrock Endurashine intake, 6X heads, Edelbrock 600 carb w/ electric choke plus Mallory Unilite distributor and coil

Ceramic Coated Doug's Headers running thru Aluminized 2-1/2" Dual Exhaust with Magnaflow welded mufflers with an 'H' pipe. Exits at the rear bumper with chrome tips. Very well done system, sounds amazing

New Gas Tank, fuel sender, and hard line running to the engine

Very straight body with very nice basecoat/clearcoat paint. Only a few touched up minor chips, and one, pea sized bubble that I would have to point out to you to see it low on the passenger side body

New Hood Tach - works very well

New upholstery, nice console. Carpet has a bit of sun fading, but is very nice

New, high quality material, Power Convertible top. I will have new hydraulic rams put in before the auction ends so it will operate smoothly

All glass in excellent condition

New door and trunk seals, belt line weather-strip, etc.

New 2013 top of the line Sony DSX-S310BTX Digital media receiver running to a Rockford Fosgate Punch 200 amp, powering 4 Infinity Coax speakers

Sunpro oil, water and volt gauges added. Water gauge reads a bit off, but works well

New 2013 Boyd's Junkyard Dog Wheels; 18x8 rear, 18x7 front with a new matched set of Nitto NT550 Extreme ZR Tires; 265 50 18 rear, and 225 45 18 front

Excellent chrome on front and rear bumpers

 

I may have missed something, so please write me if you want to know anything. Ebay has a link to order an inspection by a third party, and I will help with anything I can. The Firebird will come with a clear, numbers matching, Oregon State Title in my name plus current registration, and of course it is sold "as-is". I will need a 500 dollar deposit by way of Paypal immediately following the auction with the balance due within 5 days by way of cash, cashiers check, or bank transfer. Checks will take two weeks to clear before car can be picked up. Again, write me if you have questions, and Good luck bidding, TJ

Answers to some questions that have been asked:

There is a new Pearl White Top Boot that matches the pearl white interior that is included; I just didn't have it installed when I took the pictures.

The E-brake cable end broke off, so it will need a new cable installed

The trunk Body Dampers (Cocktail shakers) are both there, and I don't see any up front

New body bushings and bolts were also installed when the car was put back together

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.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
