Here you have a 1969 Pontiac Firebird Convertible, I am limited in the information I can give on this car, I can only go on what the owner told me at the time of sale. I have had it for quite sometime and it has been in my garage all that time. The vehicle came from Las Vegas and is equipped with a rebuilt 400 engine and a four speed transmission. I do not know if it has a posi rear or what kind of four speed it is. I was going to change it over to automatic so I took the clutch and brake pedal out and exchanged the pedal for an automatic one, so to keep it standard you will have to replace the clutch and brake pedal to bring it back to a four speed. Due to the fact of increasing projects I have acquired I do not have time to put into the vehicle and complete the job, so the four speed set-up is still in place, brake and clutch pedal is the only thing missing. I do have an automatic transmission for it, however if I do not sell the car I will change it over at a later time, the paint is decent and the body is solid. It will need a top, the one is ripped, and the interior is in satisfactory condition, probably will need new padding at a later time, the ones in there are good for now. The rug on the drivers side panel is missing and will have to be installed and the crank on the passenger rear window will have to be replaced in which I have the part. The engine has not been started in a couple of years, although it does turn by hand, it needs a starter and I also have that part. Either the transmission or the rear end needs a seal, one of those items leak and that will have to be replaced. The hood tachometer I am not sure if it works, it is not hooked up. I do not have front or rear cocktail shakers and four speed console, still for a forty five year old car, it has a lot of potential, it is not a basket case. The tires and rims are in very good condition, it has power steering and power front disc brakes. Of course it will take time and money to make it a real nice vehicle, the investment will be well worth it and Pontiac is no longer being made. The car is being sold as is with no warranty and open for inspection.

If you have any questions you can call 270-846-0837, and leave a message if I do not pick up, I will return your call ASAP.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.

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.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For 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.
