1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 on 2040-cars
West Nyack, New York, United States
|
1971 Pontiac Formula 400 Firebird. I bought this car 18 months ago from the original day one, loving owner. Tuned it and fixed a couple of minor items. It is a fully restored, numbers matching, completely unmolested car in Quezal Gold with Black interior. Auto trans with console, A/C, Power Brakes and Steering. Original AM/FM radio, honeycomb wheels (just as originally ordered) and brand new tires. Odometer reads 56,560 miles...I assume that to mean 156.5k, but not relevant since the restoration. I have the original Georgia title (4/14/71), and the original Installment Sales Contract for $5215 with a loan of $2086 at 11.52%! Also have the original Bill of Sale, the original Sales Contract Agreement with Smith-Johnson Pontiac, GA, and the owners log of every expense from 1971 to 2011. There are a couple of small paint cracks in the elastomer nose, as usual with these cars - see the pic. Otherwise, everything works, looks and runs perfectly...couldn't be nicer. The trim rings for the wheels are in the trunk (see pic) and perfect...just not mounted at this time. I am not a dealer. This is a private sale from my personal collection. I have owned 110 different cars over the years. If I tell you it is 'nearly perfect', then 1) that's because no car is perfect, and 2) you can believe what I say. This is a full #1 condition vehicle. I have 110 additional recent pics. All those original documents referred to above are in picture format for email. Need answers?....write me. Happy to field all questions. daveg1@aol.com I will need a $2000 deposit within two days, and full payment by bank check, wire or cash within 5 days. I am happy to help arrange shipping for you if you cannot pick it up. |

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
