Description:
1970 Pontiac Firebird
1970 Pontiac Firebird 350 Survivor Blue Plate California Car
Barn Find / Garage Find
- NO RESERVE
- California blue plate car
- It was owned and driven by one lady its entire life until I purchased it (I am the second owner). I bought the car thru family members after she could not drive any more.
- I bought this car to restore but have too many projects so I have decided to sell.
- Mileage is believed to be109,068 (which assumes the odometer has flipped once as it currently reads 9,068).
- It has been repainted once in its original code 43 Keylime Green. It was a quickie repaint so the jams, inside of trunk, etc. were not repainted. Some areas of the repaint look pretty good, other areas are not so great. The paint on the endura nose is badly checked. The hood is not as shiny as some of the other areas are. I suspect the hood was sunbaked and the prep before the repaint wasn’t great.
- I was told it was garage-kept all of its life in California.
- It has been in a heated storage building since I purchased it.
- As the lady that owned the car aged, she tended to bump into things. The car has dents, dings, scratches, and scrapes which are visible in the photos. The plastic filler-panel between the tail lights has a hole from where she backed into something (replacement parts are readily available). I was told a lot of this happened pulling in and out of her relatively small California garage. It looks like the damage to the endura bumper occurred backing out of the garage as it is pulled away from the fender somewhat.
- It has a 2BBL Pontiac 350 with a 3-speed automatic transmission which I believe would be a Turbo 350.
- The engine runs but would obviously benefit from a tune and carb rebuild.
- The car runs and drives but it has been sitting for a number of years now and needs to be checked over to ensure it is road worthy.
- I don’t think it would take much to make this a roadworthy car.
- The battery is weak. I currently have it charging but I’m not sure how much of a charge it will take.
- The coolant overflow tank is not original.
- It is a factory air car. All of the AC components appear to be present except for the belt.
- The interior looks good for a car this old but has its share of flaws. The dash is cracked and there are imperfections in the seats and door panels. The headliner is separating at the seams.
- I removed and discarded the worn-out carpet to assess the condition of the floor pans. As you can see in the photos, they are very solid.
- I have the original console which is in fair condition. I don’t think I kept the lid as it was in poor condition.
- I also removed the cardboard package tray (under the rear window) which revealed a solid structure which is unmolested (so many of these cars got hacked up for aftermarket stereos).
- Typical trouble areas like the bottoms of the doors look pretty solid. At the bottom of the driver side door skin I noticed what might be a little bubbling.
- The trunk is remarkably solid and appears to be wearing its original factory spatter paint job.
- From under the car, I can see some rust-thru in the left drop-off.
- The trim around the wheel openings is the stick-on type.
- It looks like there is some bondo in the bottom of the quarters and around the rear wheel wells.
- Some of the weather stripping is dry and brittle which is pretty typical.
- The California blue plates are included with the car. The front plate is thoroughly mangled from pulling over concrete parking blocks, curbs, etc.
- It has the nice looking Pontiac Rally wheels.
- Most of the glass looks good but the driver side door window has scuffs from putting the window up and down (I assume the felts are worn allowing the window mechanism to contact the glass).
This is an old car that has been repainted. The only way to know with certainty what repairs will ultimately be required is to completely disassemble the car and have it media blasted. The description in this listing is based on what I can see and the condition is described to the best of my ability.
