1992 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States
|
For sale is a 1992 Trans Am Convertible that had an engine fire. This was a show car until a fuel regulator blew out in 2009. The regulator had been replaced 4 years earlier. I still believe the ethanol in the gas was the problem, but I cannot prove that. The fire was put out, but everything in the engine compartment had been burned up and the damage has been removed. There is probably some damage in the dash also, but these parts are available. I had planned on repairing the car, and have a donor car to provide the parts, but health issues got in the way. I acquired another car that is basically the same. I would like to see the car restored and they only made 663 of these cars:
http://www.thirdgen.org/1992-pontiac-firebird?s=3ba6e130aab0f202188c7b24a947bd55& I have two of them. This car had just undergone a complete paint job with bodywork and was like new. It caught fire on the way to a show. The body is fine. The hood is gone and will need another one. The black hood in the picture does not go with the car. I pulled the engine/trans out. You can have these although the engine is not assembled. You might want to keep the block. It will need a new rotating assembly, or put in an LS engine, like one of the 5.3L engines that are plentiful. I have the front bumper and nose. There are some great parts on this car. It has the gold wheels and all the plastic parts. The car originally had the special leather seats and performance options. I ended up putting in later model seats. The engine was a 5.0 TPI engine. You can have the parts for that also. When the fire was put out, the fire hose doused the inside of the car under the dash to make sure it was out. Even though it may look bad, this is not a rust bucket, it has a nice body, and it is a very rare car. Whoever purchases the car will have to arrange pickup. If I do not sell the car by May 17, 2014, I will part the car out and use the parts for my other cars. The tail lights alone are worth $600. Just to show you, the car was an Autorama winner: http://cars.ontimesupport.com/autorama-houston-2006/92TA-GIRLS2.JPG http://cars.ontimesupport.com/autorama-houston-2006/DOUG-92TA-1.JPG I will be happy to answer any questions and I have a lot of knowledge about these cars. I also have all the records on this one. |

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.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
