1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula 3.4 Fastback on 2040-cars
Gadsden, Alabama, United States
|
I'm selling my 88 pontiac fiero formula.
This car is a one of a kind. It has a 3.4 swapped into it (by the previous owner mileage unknown), it has been converted to a fastback, The interior was redone in black and has black leatherette custom upholstered seat covers. Starting from front to back. The headlight motors have been rebuilt, two front ball joints have been replaced, it has lowering springs and new shocks along with new poly bushings, the wheels are 18X8 in the front and 18X9 in the rear(235's on front and 265's on rear), the car has been repainted and all molding is there and held on with clips from the fiero store the interior was redone in black and power locks and windows were installed(this is one of the only formulas in the world with power locks and windows), the seats were recovered along with the headliner The clutch slave cylinder was rebuilt with rodney dickens kit, the shifter cables were replaced with rodney dickens cables(top of the line), the banjo bolt was replaced with rodney's adjustable banjo. The rear rotors and pads were put on this year and the front are from a c4 corvette I believe(installed by previous owner),Custom height adjustable coil overs were built for the rear and the bushings were replaced with poly. I also have camber adjustment bolts not installed if you want me to throw those in It has a refurb edu from the fierostore, I had the AC fixed this summer but the compressor went bad(from NAPA) its still under warranty and they will pay to have it replaced if you send it in based on what customer service told me. Heat works great and all the gauges (minus the tach) are completely functional and accurate(even the fuel gauge) The 3rd gear syncro is bad but it still shifts into third just resists some at higher rpm's, the radiator fan relay is out but those can be had at an auto parts store cheap and the fan will run if you have the a/c switched on. I am selling this car because I decided to go back to school and don't have the time or money I need to do everything I dreamed of doing to it. My commute is 150 miles a day and this is what I've been commuting with so I have no doubts about its reliability and you would be more than able to drive it back home(I drove it to Louisiana and back about 3 weeks ago which is a 1200 mile round trip. If you have any questions feel free to ask I will try to post more pictures soon.(of the interior and such) I also have new formula door stickers and quarter windows that will go with the car |

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
