Odometer reads 23836 original miles. Vehicle had been kept in storage since the mid 1980's. Vehicle is a true survivor car. Runs and drives great. After sitting for approximately 25 years the mechanicals needed some freshening up to drive. We kept the original date coded plug wires but replaced the plugs. Gas tank and lines were dropped and blown out to be safe. Installed a new fuel pump and the carburetor was rebuilt prior to firing the car up. Vehicle has new tires, new radiator, new belts and some new hoses and vacuum lines.Original hoses and lines with OE original part numbers were left when ever possible. Also new spark plugs, valve cover gaskets and two new mufflers which deteriorated from sitting. Flushed brake lines, changed master cylinder, calipers and wheel cylinders to be safe. All parts removed from the car were kept in case someone wants to rebuild them and then install original parts. Under body and engine compartment were all originally undercoated. Interior required a good cleaning from sitting!! Interior was removed to inspect the floors and was found in excellent shape. Before installing the interior back into the car, new sound deadening material and a new carpet was installed. The 2 front seats were recovered ( from Legendary Auto Interior). The dash, console and back seats cleaned up beautifully. Interior is in excellent condition. Exterior does have various surface rust and some chipping. Touch ups seem to have been made over the years making the car very presentable. Over all paint still has a great shine. Firebird has faded but is not peeling or lifting. Passenger lower quarter and lower fender near the door (size of a quarter) has noticeable SURFACE rust. Please see Photos This car can be driven, preserved and enjoyed as is or a minor restoration of paint and decals to make it stunning. Questions??? Please contact us through email.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
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.
