Boston, Massachusetts, United States
For more details email me at: colenectteskey@skywalkers.org .
67 Firebird 326 HO one of 2888 manual transmission cars built in this yr. Beautiful restoration was finished 3yrs
ago. Stunning color combo factory code N with parchment deluxe interior trim. Lots of paperwork including original
book with data plate, build sheet, window sticker and purchase documents. The original motor was missing when I
purchased this car, however I was fortunate to find a complete donor engine from an identical model 2 weeks apart.
M20 Muncie 4 spd transmission completely rebuilt along with the factory posi traction dual traction bar 355 ratio
rear differential. Everything was restored back to original spec with front disc brakes for added stopping power,
Hotchkis 1 inch lowering springs and Lars rebuilt steering with a tighter ratio for handling improvements and minor
changes to engine allowing for pump gas friendly performance. A mild cam was installed to compensate for lower
engine compression, HEI distributor and the carb was jetted to retain performance along with Pontiac long branch
manifolds and 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust. A hood tach and analog gauges were tastefully installed to monitor engine
vital signs. 15 inch factory steel wheels in staggered sizes with BFG radials round out the improvements.
The restoration began 10 plus yrs ago with an amazingly solid body. Quarter skins and outer wheel houses were
replaced by the previous owner along with minor patching to the extremely solid and original floors. I purchased
the car in boxes and completed the work using only factory GM sheetmetal including a pair of NOS fenders, door
skins and core support. Over 500 hours of labor and un calculated dollars went into the renewal of this car. The
panels are super straight and paint is a 9.5 on a scale of 1-10 only because there is no such thing as a perfect
paint job when ur asking the painter. The car still retains the feel of 67 while benefitting from the minor
improvements to handling and performance. Come see for yourself and be the judge

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.
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.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
