You are bidding on an ULTRA RARE '92 only one year color of Jamaica Yellow with Black interior Formula Firebird with a 5.7 liter engine and t-tops. The only way that you could get t-tops with a 350 engine in an F-body in '92 was in a Formula. According to compnine.com, there were only 11 Jamaica Yellow Formulas with 5.7 engines - 9 with t-tops and 2 hardtops. I have a copy of the original invoice from GM Archives, a clean CARFAX, and clean title in hand.
This car has been in indoor storage since 2007 and has been driven very little. The previous owner installed new Fuzion ZRi tires, rebuilt or replaced the brakes as necessary, and replaced the water pump. I have owned this car for a little over a year and only have driven it for a few miles, but it starts, shifts and stops well from what I can tell with no trouble lights on. The interior of the car is VERY nice and has no fading and the dash is not cracked. The front seats had seat covers on them when I purchased the car that apparently had been on the seats for most of its life as there are no stains or wear spots on the seats. The stock radio is present and works, along with the electric antenna. The headlights go up and down as they should and the door close tightly. The factory N10 exhaust dual cats are still on the car, but the muffler has a hole in it and will need to be replaced.
As can be seen in the photos, the car does have surface rust in a few areas on the exterior. There is also rust in the drivers rocker panel area below the door that will eventually require replacement if the new owner chooses to do a full restoration on the car, but is not an immediate requirement to enjoy the car now.
I had plans to restore this car one day as I have one of the two hardtop JY 5.7 Formulas made in '92 so I would have a matching pair, but I have come to the realization that with family including small children and other cars that it would be a long time, if ever, before I would be able to do this car the justice it deserves. I just have other priorities now. This is a 7 day auction with a very low reserve for a rare car with three of the most desirable options (color, 5.7, and t-tops) that were offered in a third gen. Please contact me at (229) 392 7111 with any questions and I will answer them as thoroughly as possible. My name is Jason. I require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of auctions end. I will be glad to store the car for a couple of weeks or so for the new owner to arrange shipping or in person pickup after payment is made in full. Please check my impeccable feedback and bid with confidence!!

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?
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
