79 Trans AM WS6 in CA at $200 NR non-T-top car. Car and driver named the 79 T/A the best handling car with the anemic 403 Olds engine (this one has the 403). I love these cars and with basically any T/A from 70-81 you can swap front ends to build what you want. I have an 80 T/A WS6 that came from Utah that I plan to bolt a 72 front end on and replace the turbo 301 with a Pontiac 400. Project car for sure, but with a life span of over 10 years the parts are out there are fairly cheap. Also love the rear taillights. What's up with the gas door?

Thews, your enthusiasm for posting NON 67-69 Firebird Tech entries into this TECH forum seems to know no bounds.
What valuable '67-69 Firebird Tech question or info does the majority of your eBay posts include???

BTW, when Car & Driver deemed the '79 TransAm the Best Handling car that model year, the Car & Driver writers did so by specifically testing a lightweight (believe non AC) 301 powered WS6 T/A. Memory serves right, the competitors were the '79 Camaro z28, the new bodystyle '79 Mustang, & a 79 Corvette, that the Corvette engineers had slipped in a few preproduction 1980 suspension pieces.

You know what old pinion head, we all have choices to make. Your choice is to never click on this thread again and I hope you make your boycott stand in doing just that. No more clown cars for you!... yaaaa! I post in this thread because I appreciate this site and I hope the content is read with no pop ups, no BS, just some personal opinion that you can opt out of anytime (how about now for you?). Just something to read about Pontiacs. You’re so knee-deep in your own hypocrisy you tell me not to post about non-first gen firebirds, then comment on the second gen I posted about. I own 2 69 350 HO Firebird convertibles and 2 Trans AMs (75 and 80). Along with a lot of other folks, we own multiple cars. My only motivation for this thread is to post something to read. I tire of the AI world where the MSN homepage is filled with left and right political garbage. Instead of that rhetoric, why not read about a cool Pontiac I think is worth mentioning. It’s your choice, and I hope you never click on this thread again. The website moderators can shut this thread down anytime they wish, so maybe you should ping them and gather your pitchforks and torches to champion this outrage on a benign thread! Some people are just angry and need any reason to vent that anger. It’s your choice to never click on this thread again and one I hope you choose. For people who actually care about what Rosie Odonnell thinks about anything, there’s plenty of negative places to vent. While sarcastic and sometimes wrong, I have no angst to give... just positive vibes on my take regarding Pontiacs on eBay. Please don’t ever post in this thread again… you win!... yaaaa!

Hey Thews, it’s been 4 days w/o any new eBay/cars4sale sightings. I love checking this thread for new posts! Please keep posting! Btw, I think I’d seen in person, that seriously rusty’69 Gold FB that was listed in NJ a page or two back. I was excited to check it out over a year ago only to discover it was many years passed saving. It would be a true labor of love and insanity to bring it back as it was a base V8 ‘Vert. A friend called it a parts car at best.

Pickens are kinda slim and there's really nothing cool to post about. I will say I contacted Gateway Motors to sell my car, so it's changed my mind about the Gateway cars. It's a 69 350 HO Firebird convertible that's was originally Champagne with a green interior and green top. If I give it to them to sell, the car leaves my driveway and once it sells they write me a check. Sure it'll cost me, but I won't have to deal with looky loos and low-ballers. I just fixed the convertible top motor (thanks youtube for being a valuable source of info) and I should have it up in a couple of weeks. If something pops up I'll post it.

"Knee deep in my own hypocracy" LOL, hardly! I only commented as your info in the '79 403 T/A listing was erroneous. If this entire thread was in the correct Forum, I might of nicely commented the same. Not sure how clear cut it can be, this forum is for technical threads related to '67-69 Firebirds.

Why is it a LOBBY thread, very similar to that of prev member Bonneville Joe's Craigslist thread allowed to run, as a catch all of everything project or running vehicle wise for sale on eBay in this forum??? It would be one thing in the Lobby, but in the '67-69 Firebird Technical Forum??

All of these Pontiac Technical Forums were designed to help members identify issues & help keep their specific model Pontiacs running, as well as to assist members with more in depth restoration issues. The Lobby, as well as the Clubhouse were designed for non technical Pontiac comments.

Got to agree w ole pinion head on this one, this is a tech forum for 67-69 birds This isn’t really the location for this thread. If I so much as post a wisp of anything that can be construed as affecting the left party politics it gets kicked out of lobby. Even if it’s relevant to the discussion already ongoing. But this having zero real tech can stay here doesn’t make sense

[Dave R]

These posts are great but I concur. Is there not an eBay sightings thread in the Lobby? Seems like an easy and entirely reasonable adjustment so that this thread is back to 67-69 Firebirds only.

No, only "Ebay sightings for non-Pontiac cars" that I found. After almost 3K posts, yeah 2.965, & the 1st being back in 2014, why is this an issue today? It's just one thread and it doesn't seem people are beating each other over the head. I think was aimed at showing some affordable or unusual alternatives maybe; not speaking for thews, but seems that way. And precisely why I posted the 1989 Firebird. If it's moved, I hope our link to it stays so we continue to see the recent posts.

Agree

I like that Thews has been sharing his interest and opinions for years. He scours eBay and makes it effortless for me to see what he found.

I don't even look at where a thread is posted, I just click on "New Posts" and if the topic is interesting, I read it.

If I'm not interested, I don't read it.

I definitely hope he keeps it going and if it gets moved, I honestly may not even know it.

If the mods want to kill this thread then go ahead. To the dipsticks that don't understand all they have to do is not click on it, all I can say is what sort of control freak actually cares about where it is? You may not know this, but the way the internet works is clicking on a thread generates revenue for the site. People with negative vibes need not apply... go find another bridge to lurk and unleash your anger... it's your choice to never click on it again.

The mods don’t really give a damn.

Half a million views now so someone must be enjoying this thread it seems.

Carry on.

67 Firebird 400 in Michigan at $39K BIN. I think Coranado gold is my new favorite color for 67. The steering wheel looks good, but not sure if it's the stock color?

Wrong color on the steering wheel, and all of the painted gold color on the interior is wrong as well. It should be a closer match to the vinyl. It appears the restorer used the same gold color on the interior as the exterior. I presume that was a conscious choice...
