ORIGINAL HARD TO FIND 455 FIREBIRD FORMULA WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND POSI. IT HAS AN ORIGINAL FIBERGLASS HOOD, I WAS TOLD FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER THAT IT HAS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE BUT NOT SURE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD IS MARKED D093, DRIVERS SIDE HEAD IS MARKED D263. IT HAS A HOLLEY 4 BARREL DOUBLE PUMPER 3310 3 1341., EDELBROCK INTAKE AND A DEEP MOROSO OIL PAN.

THE EXTERIOR IS BURGUNDY AND THE PAINT HAS SCRATCHES AND FLAKING ON THE ENDURO NOSE (AS PICTURED). NO DAMAGE. THE INTERIOR IS BLACK IN COLOR, SOME PARTS WERE DYED. I BELIEVE THIS CAR WAS GOLD WITH A TAN INTERIOR(NOT 100% SURE). THIS CAR HAS HAD A RECENT TUNE-UP AND RUNS STRONG AND IS VERY FAST. OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WON'T START AFTER A LONG DRIVE, STARTER HEATS UP. THIS COULD BE SOLVED BY PUTTING IN A HEAT SHIELD OVER THE STARTER. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN GONE THROUGH (NEW POWER BOOSTER), BRAKES ARE A LITTLE WEAK DUE TO THE LACK OF VACUUM CAUSED BY THE CAM. WOULD RECOMMEND A VACUUM CANISTER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, THERE ARE NO CRACKS IN THE GLASS, DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS NEED SOME WORK, OCCASIONALLY STICK. I BELEVE THE CAR HAD NEW REAR QUARTERS INSTALLED ONE TIME IN ITS LIFE. I TOOK A MAGNET TO EVERY BODY PANEL OF THE CAR AND IT STUCK TO ALL EXCEPT THE LOWER PART OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. ORIGINAL AM RADIO-DOES NOT PLAY, WINDSHIELD WASHERS DUE NOT WORK. THE FRONT SEATS HAVE SOME SPLITS ON THE BOTTOM SEAT CUSHIONS AND THE CONSOLE HAS SOME CRACKS. I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS CAR SOUND BAD BUT WANT TO MAKE THE BUYER AWARE OF ANY FLAS I KNOW OF. . DEFINATELY A FUN FAST CAR THAT WITH SOME FRESH PAINT AND TLC COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT. THIS IS A 40 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND NOT PERFECT. THESE BIG BLOCK CARS ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE RARER EVERYDAY. FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GOOD LUCK!!

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
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.
