1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am convertible clone

I am selling my 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am convertible clone. We have owned this car for over 8 years and have enjoyed driving it on weekends. This car always gets thumbs up when driving around town. I have put it in a couple of local shows and won best in show. VIN shows it as a 1969 Firebird that came out of Pontiac's Norwood, Ohio plant. It was shipped to Charlie Kittle Pontiac in Memphis, Tennessee on July 13, 1969. I have a set of PHS documents that I can email to anyone who would like to see them. My wife and I are building a new house and the sale of this car go towards that effort.

Please read the description thoroughly and I will try to walk you through the condition, etc.

This car was previously posted here a few months ago. I have made several updates since then.

Updates Include:

1. New period correct deluxe wood steering wheel with PMD horn cap (disregard other wheels in photos)

2. Horn has been fixed

3. Turn signal canceling cam has been fixed

4. Windshield washer pump has been fixed correct washer bottle added

5. Correct black PMD center caps and black lug nuts have been added

6. Front driver's seat has all new foam and springs

7. High speed setting on A/C fan has been fixed (fuse)

8. A/C has been charged and is blowing cold air

9. Small dime sized hole in trunk was patched and trunk was repainted in correct splatter.

Exterior: Paint is in good shape, hood is fiberglass with Trans Am stripes that are painted on these are NOT decals. The hood scoops are not functional but are cut out. It has exterior air extractors on the front quarter panels (these are non-functional). I have included a photo of two or three very small rust bubbles about the size of your pinky fingernail on the lower area of drivers side door. All exterior lights work and top (dark blue) is nearly brand new, has working power antenna. I have only had the top up 3 or 4 times in 8 years, it is electric and works perfectly, rear window is plastic. Chrome is in good shape as are the Rally II wheel set that have the correct black PMD center caps, black lug nuts and deep dish chrome rings. Tires all have good tread. Small oil drip which is common for cars of this age. Working hood tach with "Pontiac" emblazened on face which lights up. All glass is good with no cracks, floors and all metal under the back seat is in good shape with no rust. Other then the rust mentioned above I cannot see any other rust on the metal of this car.

Interior: No tears in seats or carpets, has blue Firebird floor mat set, dash is good and not cracked, burlwood dash and center console. Interior courtesy lights work, it has a new glovebox and all new seat cushions and springs for the driver's side front seat. Emergency brake works, high beams work glove box and center console all open and close as they should. This car has the correct deluxe wood wheel with "PMD" horn cap, the horn and turn signals/flashers all work perfectly. (Disregard photos showing other steering wheels I left those in to show interior photos.) I have an Audiosound aftermarket AM/FM cassette player with Mp3 connection that fits in the hole where the existing AM radio used to be. This car has tilt wheel with working cigarette lighter. Seatbelts in the front appear to be original rear seat belts were installed by me. Working aftermarket oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge as shown in the photos. Seats all slide and headrests work as they should. Speedometer and odometer both work. Spare tire and spare tire cover along with trunk liner are all included.

Engine/Transmission: I have owned 6 Trans Ams and have not been real familiar with engine types beyond how many cubic inches it has. This car came to me badged as a 428, the engine block numbers are as follows and are in the photo section as well. (0739793 YH) VIN # on block does not match VIN number on the dash. This car is an automatic Turbo Hydromatic 350 which shifts and drives fine. We drive it almost every weekend. It has R-12 factory air system which has been charged and is blowing cold air. It has an oversized aluminum radiator with two electric cooling fans. Temp rises if you sit in traffic for a long time but doesn't go above 200. Car runs at about 165-175 degrees around town. This engine is very reliable and has never left me stranded it always starts and always runs. It has a good sounding exhaust with aluminum headers, no holes or exhaust leaks. Engine has a 4 barrel Edlebrock carburetor and is very clean under the hood. Odometer says 59,304 not sure if that is correct but odometer does work. The car is fast and accelerates nicely. If you look at the underside of the car you can see it that this car has a good clean underside with front disc brakes rear drum brakes. This car was gone through about 9 years ago and looks very clean under the hood and the underside in general. Fuel tank is clean and had a new sending unit installed about a year ago. It has a 10 bolt main

Payment must be in the form of a cashiers check, money order or cash. In the case of a cashiers check it must clear my bank before I will release the car. I have a clean title in my hand. Please let the auction run its course before asking what I would take for the car. I have 100% feedback and I am honest, I hope you are as well. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull this ad if it sells. These (clones) are getting harder to find I searched for a while before I found this one.

If you would like additional photos of a particular area please message me through eBay and I will do my best to get them to you. I also have a Dropbox account that has additional photos and video. Please message me through eBay for the website if you would like to see those.

NOTE: Some older photos show the car without a hood tach, with red wheel caps and Formula steering wheel. It currently has a functioning hood tach, correct black PMD wheel caps and a period correct deluxe wood wheel (the blue one with the PMD center cap).

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
