1970 Pontiac Firebird. Was originally a 350 4b auto on the floor/console car. Origional color was the one year only Polar White - can still see it under trunk and in other hidden areas. It was painted red sometime in the 80s. Now it has a Chevy 454 with Edelbrock heads, Edelbrock intake, demon carb, MSD ignition/distributor. Motor was built a while back, but runs nice once off idel due to intake/carb/cam/heads combination. It has headers with Flowmaster full dual stainless exhaust.
Rockers, fenders, doors are all nice - no repair needed. The blue fenders were better then the originals so they were swapped. I have 2 front ends - both useable, but one a bit better. Underside of the car is fantastic - never touched and no rot. It will need lower rear quarters patched (I have patches), small section of outer wheel house, and the rear lower valance.
Interior needs restored, but decent for it's age. Driver side seat has the usual tear, but passenger and rear are fine. Dash has a couple of cracks, console door hinge is broke.
It will run and drive as it is. I put new brakes on all 4 corners. It shifts as it should. Rear is not posi - one wheel peel and it will sure make a big cloud of smoke with those old school tires and rims. I have a formula hood that needs the corners repaired, but it won't fit over the 454's intake/carb combo. I was going to buy a L88 or cowl hood.
I HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AS WELL. The Pontiac 350 is free and in good condition, but would need at least gone over. I have the heads/intake off of it ready for rebuild.

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."
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
