1969 Pontiac Firebird 350 Cameo White Complete Project Solid Blue Interior A/c on 2040-cars
Garysburg, North Carolina, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1969 Pontiac Firebird base model. Don't let the outside fool you, the floors and structure of this car are solid.
FOR MORE PICTURES: Pictures The car is not running, has been sitting since the late 80s. It will be years before I'd get a chance to build this so I'm going to offer it up for sale. It's a 50 50 Paint code so it would be great for a Trans Am clone. Also has blue vinyl bucket seat interior and factory A/C with the big block A/C box under the hood. The best part about this car is that it is basicly untouched and original with SOLID FLOOR AND TRUNK PANS. I believe the engine and automatic transmission are the original. Everything looks factory. The A/C compressor was taken off and is just laying in the engine bay. The condensor and box are still in place.I have not tried to start the engine. The car definitely needs front fenders, rockers and quarter panels. I still have not figured out how the lower side of the exterior rusted to the extent that it has without the floors and trunk being rotted out. There is no bondo in the car. Someone at some point sprayed the car blue over top of the original white (same white as the 69 Trans Ams). The glass is all good, needs a cleaning. I've left the car pretty much how I found it, no cleaning or glamming it up. The blue interior appears to be original. Driver's seat is in rough shape. Back seat should clean up really good, I haven't found any tears. The passenger seat has one seam busted on the shoulder towards the door. The carpet needs replaced, it's dry rotted. Need headliner. Door panels aren't terrible, I would reuse them for a driver style build. Needs the armrests replaced. Original steering wheel is a little sticky like most of them are. Car has a 10-bolt rearend with the mutli-leaf springs. I've tried to take a lot of good pictures of the car to show what's rusted and what isn't. I will be added a link a little later to more pictures. I believe I have around 48 total. If you are somewhat local and would like to come take a look at the car you are more than welcomed to. Buyer responsible for pick up of the car. No shipping on my part. I prefer CASH. I will work with a certified check but the car will not leave here until the money has cleared the bank. |

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine 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.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
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."
