1970 Pontiac Firebird Esprit Survivor All Original 1 Owner 32,089 Actual Miles on 2040-cars
Long Beach, California, United States
|
A original 1970 Pontiac Firebird Esprit that was found recently in Southern California. Was parked & stored in the garage since 1979, Hasn't seen daylight for over 35 years with only 032,089 Actual Miles! A True Survivor That Remains UnRestored & ALL Original. Last Registered Sticker Was 1979! A All Numbers Matching Drivetrain that has never been out of the car! History: The original owner purchased it new in Los Angeles & cherished from Day 1. Prior to 1979, the Firebird has always been garaged & well taken care. It was barley driven as it was the owners fun car as he explained. The only mods were done was in 1970: the period correct side pipes and a CB. In 1978, the owner had a serious stroke that took his driving privilege away (eye sight). His wife parked the Firebird in the garaged. The original owner never had no intention on selling his "Bird" as he always had the intention on driving again. Been covered in home blankets, bath towels on the interior for close to 35 years. It was started every few months by the wife, then the daughter and recently the brother. Even though it was parked away for so many years, it was never Neglected. The original owner is still the only that has been titled to the car. Factory 70' Firebird Esprit 350 with Air Condition / Disc Brakes / Rally Gauges / PMD Rallyes. I seen many cars advertised under "Survivor" Condition but not many in this category. This is a true example that remains 100% Factory Original Paint - All the factory interior - vinyl top & trim. There's nothing on this car that was restored, it's all genuine date coded GM trim * Factory Coronado Gold With Custom Dark Brown Interior & A Dark Fawn Vinyl Top * Original Born & Raised its entire life in Los Angeles, California, never to left the state. Still has its original Blue & Yellow plates (last registered in 1979). It was only driven less then 10 years on the road, about 3,200 miles a year. When it was driven, the owner mention it was never in wet weather ( it wasn't his only car). The paint was regularly waxed and hand washed only at home. Since it was kept inside all of its life, that only brings good things. One of the nicest GM body's out there. All original panels & paint. NO Rust literally, From top to bottom. All the lines are straight, the vinyl top looks like it just left the factory. All the moldings are in beautiful shape, just look at the wheel opening moldings. The grill is in beautiful shape & original like the rest of the Firebird. All the glass is in beautiful shape including the package tray. The factory PMD wheels shows low mileage, the tires are the second set of poly glass. The trunk compartment is a time capsule, the factory rubber mat, jack & original spare tire/rally (never to been used). The inner wells & rocker's are dry & clean! All the interior is bone stock and in primo shape. The headliner, the dash pad (No Cracks), console, the carpet & instrumental panel are in excellent condition, The pictures serve no justice for being in person. Has the original numbers 350 "YU" Suffix/ Turbo350 Automatic. I verified that the numbers on the bottom of the block do match the body. It's never been rebuilt, or taken apart. Under the hood, it's very clean being true of the low mileage. All stock, no modifications. Factory assembly line chalk markings on the hood. The bird was sitting for awhile, so we took precaution steps to get it running back again. Had all the fluids drained & blew out the lines. Had the original carburetor taken off & rebuilt it completely. Gave it a complete tune-up, flushed the radiator, bleed the brakes, replaced all the fluids & added Mobil 91 Octane gas. Started right up and had her idle for 30 mins. The transmission is tight & shifts great! Rear end, brakes are in great working condition. Driving the Bird down the road is very tight, it drives like it only has 32k actual miles. Very solid and tight, not all over the road. Has original Small California Pink Slip in hand. A Rare Opportunity To Own A True Time Capsule. A Firebird That Has Been Hiding Since 35 Years From Original Owner Doesn't Come Around Very Often I also will be posting a video of the original owner talking of the past history of the Firebird including original mileage & ect so please check back to watch the video... ____________________ Conclusion & Terms _________________________ I have set my auction at 5 Days With No Reserve, so please only serious bidding.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
