1985 Pontiac Fiero GT - loaded

 

Street Survivor for sale

 

I bought this car last fall, and have enjoyed it tremendously (I had a Red/tan 2M4 in college but always wanted a GT).  Draws a crowd, and the kids love it.  Fantastic way to drive to work at low cost -  and a lot of fun!

 

It has 49,900 miles ( I bought it with just over 40K).

 

Completely loaded:

·      2.8L V6 Engine

·      4 Speed Manual Transmission (seriously who wants an auto?)

·      A/C (with brand new compressor)

·      Tilt, cruise (works perfectly), intermittent wipers

·      Power door windows and locks, mirrors, headlamp doors - all work properly

·      Firebird CD stereo has replaced the old cassette deck and has EQ and iPod input!!!! VERY RARE!!!!  Same Pontiac orange backlighting - seamless OEM look.  CD and iPod in a Fiero without ruining vintage look!

·      New Pioneer 4x10 speakers, plus stock in headrest.  Killer sound.

·      Rare cassette storage option

·      New moonroof and door window gaskets

·      Replaced heater core, washer motor, brakes (new slotted and drilled rotors, new low dust pads, rebuilt master cylinder, one worn caliper rebuilt)

·      OEM wheels and tires for the purists (more than 60% tread)

·      The best steering wheel, the padded GT 3 spoke

 

I bought it for $5000, and have put about $1500 of parts into it.  So my BIN is a very reasonable $5950 and the reserve is set at $5600.  Will not accept lowball offers.  I will just continue to enjoy the ride :) if I can't get a reasonable price.

 

The very good

·      Non smoker interior is nearly mint

·      Great stereo set up with stock look

·      Super low miles

·      A lot of needed repairs done for you already

·      Everything works - even the headlamp motors which is a common issue

·      A fill up is 8 gallons (holds 10) and will take you 225 miles, which is 28 MPG.

·      I get over 25 even combined in town, with sports car performance.

·      In VA, I have often filled up for a weeks worth of driving for just over $20.  Not many $6000 cars YOU WANT TO DRIVE can do that.

 

 

The not so good

·      The plastic panels have excellent paint, but the steel engine lid paint is beginning to look tired, with some oxidizing and orange peel.  I plan to repaint if I keep it over the winter.  Lower aero panels have some rubbed areas (damaged before me but not noticeable except up close) that could be redone as well.

·      The hydraulic clutch is getting a little tired.  If you hold the clutch in a long time (like at a long stop light) you notice it begin to engage.  Not a problem in normal driving but a rebuilt clutch master and slave (about $80 each plus time) would do the trick.  I just don't leave the clutch down for more than about 15 seconds and no problems....

·      The headliner is looking tough, ditto on my desire to replace over winter.  I may have it done before sale.....but no promises.

·      Two areas of interior dash paint could use a touch up (base brown beginning to show over the light brown paint.  This is a two tone piece that is intended to have the base brown in some areas that are accented by areas painted by light - easy touch up with correct paint).

 

Great value at a great price.  Selling to buy a tractor (I know I know - should probably keep her but Mrs says she's gotta go first!)

$200 deposit required within 48 hours - non-refundable.  Come drive it and if you don't want it that is all it will cost you to walk away, with positive feedback.  Balance due in 7 days or at delivery whichever comes first.  IF not picked up in 7 days it will be relisted and resold, but if you need time to pick it up that can be arranged with full payment. 

Call 434 five nine won for five three wun ask for Gene with questions.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver

Wed, Feb 13 2019

Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams

Fri, Aug 31 2018

There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.
