1988 Pontiac Fiero Gt 3800 Supercharged Professionally Installed on 2040-cars
Enterprise, Alabama, United States
|
1988 Fiero GT 5 Speed with a Series II 3.8L Supercharged V6 conversion. This is not a quick and dirty back yard swap. It is a professional conversion performed by Sinister Performance in Fort Wayne Indiana in 2007. Driven just over 10,000 miles since the conversion. The car belonged to a Chassis Systems Engineer for Gm when the conversion was done.
The donor car for the conversion was a bone stock 88 GT with 123,000 miles in excellent running condition that was purchased in 2005. There is no rust anywhere including problem areas like the trunk corners, radiator supports, engine compartment under battery tray, etc.
The 3800SC Series II engine was a zero mileage factory GM dyno engine manufactured in 1998 (Run once on the dyno for quality control on the assembly line. Still fitted with dyno oil when purchased. 5 Speed Getrag Transmission
Primary Modifications: CNC ported supercharger housing, smaller diameter s.c pulley, high capacity fuel system, Series III stainless fuel rails, ceramic coated West Coast Fiero Headers, custom aluminized 2.5 inch exhaust with flowmaster muffler (sounds fantastic) new master cylinder and Spec 2+ clutch, Koni shocks and struts, short throw shifter, many upgraded suspension parts, new 13" brakes front and rear.
The battery box was relocated to the front trunk with an optimum battery and accessible trickle charger connection. It has 5 Zigen aluminum Racing wheels and BF Goodrich tires.
The goal of the conversion was to retain the original stock appearance and driver comforts. Thus considerable time and expense went into retaining the air conditioner and a late model Pontiac CD stereo was installed. Dash and sail panel speakers were swapped for Polk Audio. A Sunbird turbo instrument cluster was installed which looks identical to the Fieros but has a boost gauge.
original paint is an 8/10 and the interior is 9.5/10
Please look at the conversion sheet in the pictures. Over $8500 was spent on the engine swap with Sinister Performance not including the new engine, new wheels, and the car itself.
There has been over $20,000 spent on this one of a kind car. The previous description was from the previous owners son. I am selling it for a friend. It is an awesome car and it deserves to be treated how the past few owners have cared for and improved it. I dare say that you would have a had time finding a nicer one. Feel free to call with questions. 334-393-8448

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
