I've decided to let go of my firebird. I have a baby on the way and a new job that doesn't allow me to drive it as much as I'd like. I've babied it the whole time I've had it, always parked in the garage, and I never drive it in the rain. It's a fully optioned '97 Formula with the LT1 V8, 152k miles, automatic tranny with 21k miles on rebuild, shifts firm, leather seats, t-tops, '02 Trans Am honeycomb tail lights. It's all stock except for the full exhaust that I spent $1100 for a few months ago (sounds amazing). Runs and drives great, very reliable, lots of power. Maintenance always up to date. You can definitely tell that the car has been cared for.
List of new parts within the past six months (I have receipts for everything):
-New Pacesetter Long tube headers
-New Pacesetter offroad y-pipe w/o cats
-New Hooker Aerochamber cat-back kit
-New Energy Suspension Polyurethane motor mounts
-New coolant temp sensor
-New AC Delco spark plugs
-New EGR purge solenoid
-New battery
-New front O2 sensors
-New rear O2 sensor simulators
The interior is in great shape for its age. Typical wear and tear that almost all these f-bodies have, tear in driver seat, headliner has a few small separations, crack on the dash. The driver side window motor is not working but I have a new one in the box that goes with the car which also has a lifetime warranty. AC has a leak and compressor makes a noise occasionally but blows cold when charged. Tires are in good shape and no curb rash on the wheels. Nose has light fading as most do although its nowhere near as bad as others. One small crack on passenger side of rear bumper. The door panels don't have any cracks like most others do. All in all, this is a very solid, nice driving, clean LT1 car that is ready for some cruises. Unfortunately I don't have any time for it and I'll be sad to see it go. I have much more into it than what I'm asking. Clean blue title in my name. If you have any questions or would like to see the car, please message me.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
