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.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel

Sat, Nov 22 2014

When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.
