1969 Firebird Convertible on 2040-cars
Forest Lake, Minnesota, United States
|
If you have been looking for a solid 1969 Firebird convertible for your next project or first project car you have just found it. I found this car in a barn in Iowa a few years ago when I was looking for my next project car. I had built two first gen Camaros with my dad and was looking for something a little different, but still wanted a car that I could find parts for and knew how they all went together. I know what your thinking, a Firebird is not a very big leap from the Camaro, but they are a little different and Pontiac did not build as many as Chevy. The Firebird is solid. The rear fenders look good and there is not signs of rust in the door jambs which was always a problem on these first gen f-bodys. I have not found any patching on this car except a little on the fronts floors where it transitions from the floor to the firewall (see pictures). The doors look good and the glass is in good shape. The front clip appears to have been replaced at sometime during the cars life, but I am not positive. The interior is in need of replacement. The seats and frames are all there, but the fabric could use replacing. The car is missing a few of the interior panels. With some clean up the dash and console would clean up nice, however the dash pad would need to be replaced. The gauges are all there, but I do not know if they work. With sometime and talent you could be cruising in a late 60's pony car with the wind blowing through your hair. Please view pictures carefully and contact me if you have any questions. The car does not currently run. Thank you. |

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, 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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
