1969 Firebird Convertible on 2040-cars
Forest Lake, Minnesota, United States
|
If you have been looking for a solid 1969 Firebird convertible for your next project or first project car you have just found it. I found this car in a barn in Iowa a few years ago when I was looking for my next project car. I had built two first gen Camaros with my dad and was looking for something a little different, but still wanted a car that I could find parts for and knew how they all went together. I know what your thinking, a Firebird is not a very big leap from the Camaro, but they are a little different and Pontiac did not build as many as Chevy. The Firebird is solid. The rear fenders look good and there is not signs of rust in the door jambs which was always a problem on these first gen f-bodys. I have not found any patching on this car except a little on the fronts floors where it transitions from the floor to the firewall (see pictures). The doors look good and the glass is in good shape. The front clip appears to have been replaced at sometime during the cars life, but I am not positive. The interior is in need of replacement. The seats and frames are all there, but the fabric could use replacing. The car is missing a few of the interior panels. With some clean up the dash and console would clean up nice, however the dash pad would need to be replaced. The gauges are all there, but I do not know if they work. With sometime and talent you could be cruising in a late 60's pony car with the wind blowing through your hair. Please view pictures carefully and contact me if you have any questions. The car does not currently run. Thank you. |

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.
