For sale is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird V8, automatic. I have had this car in my small workshop for over a year and just can not get to it. It is a still a project and needs some tuning, paint and body work and brakes redone. I estimate I have over $8,000.00 in repairs, parts, interior and engine work not counting the actual cost of the car. I will list the good and bad as I know it. Still needs some work but the hard part has been done.
Drivetrain : Engine is a complete rebuilt (350) with 383 stroker steel crank, Chevrolet engine with roller rockers. RV cam, new oil pump, new fuel pump, new timing chain, Edelbrock intake, Holley dual feed carb, march pulleys, aluminum 4 core radiator, new starter, new alternator, new Optima battery, cables, lines and hose with new belts. Has headers and dual exhaust that exit the rear over the axle. Over $5,000 invested in parts alone. Transmission is a stock turbo 350 with a B&M quick silver shifter. Rear axle is a Posi unit 10 bolt stock.
Interior : New interior $2,000 from Trim shop. Includes Moss green new seats, new carpet, new headliner, new package tray, new arm rests new arm rest base, door panels are in perfect shape, factory am radio, center console, rear trunk full carpet and custom fabricated side panes that pull out for jack tools etc. I did not add a spare looks to clean without it. Has the deluxe steering wheel in perfect shape.
Exterior : Has a rust free 400 Firebird hood $800.00, new Trans Am side scoops $150.00 and a new Trans Am rear spoiler $269.00 (not installed) The rear deck lid was rusted on the the lip edge and I just replaced it $150.00. Front fenders look good need sanded and paint, doors look fine sand and paint. The floor boards are fine and have already been repaired (done before me). Rear quarters looks good but both need patches on the lower. The rear window panel also has some rust ( I have a new one that is not installed but goes with sale $100.00). Lower rockers in perfect shape.
Misc. : Has HEI ignition, new wires, plugs, Sun tach, ralley II wheels, new locks, glass all looks to be in great shape, all trim is there and just needs cleaning.
In closing I figure it would take about $3,500 in body work and paint to be a nice car. (I, in fact own a bodyshop and that is our estimate for this car, but we are almost 1 year back logged in our schedule.) The engine needs tuned (carb work, hesitates on acceleration) and I drove it around the block last week and noticed the brakes pull when you stop. Also all weatherstip needs replacing.
I think this is a very solid car and is a great start for someone who is looking for a deal on a real muscle car, I ask for a deposit of $500 within 24 hours of winning bid. I would ask for the total within 5 business days for winning bid. Feel free to ask any question or any picture you want that I dont have. Transportation is paid by winning buyer. Thank you for looking.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
