WINTER SPECIAL... tried selling this car during the summer and went unsold.  Had a few offers for over $12,000 back in June and I passed them up.  Since then I have had about three or four offers during Aug and Sept for $10,000 and passed them up too.  Well now its November and the car isn't sold.  My loss is your gain.  RESERVE IS SET AT $10,000.  Seriously folks this is a freakin steal.  Best deal you've seen all year... i can almost guarantee that. 

Up for auction is my 1999 Pontiac TransAm Firehawk.  Its a black convertible with tan leather and a manual 6 speed transmission.  Car has pretty low milage of 74,500.  Not too many Firehawk convertible's out there, pretty rare car.  This car just had $1000 worth of bodywork done to it.  Make no mistake it did NOT need it but i like having my stuff super clean.  Three or four door dings were taken out, along with a rock chip on the hood (hood ended up getting completely re-painted) and some rub marks on the rear fascia were removed.  I'm saying this car has show room paint because it does.... swirl marks completely gone.  Completely new repainted hood.  You will have to see the car to believe how good the black paint looks.  It was a california car its whole life and had an easy salt-free life.  Still has a California title as I drove the car back from California last year and has been sitting ever since.  Very clean car, runs and drives great. 

Engine:  100% factory; Starts right up; runs like new with only the SLP lid mod on the air intake

SLP options:  Auburn Performance Differential

Exterior:  Paint is flawless; new bodywork just completed, not a single swirl mark on the car... immaculate... seriously...

Wheels/tires:  Tires will need to be replaced within the next 20,00 im guessing

Sound:  Aftermarket sound system with a custom made subwoofer box that doesn't take up trunk space and allows convertible top to close. Two amps: Boss 250watt for the two 6.5" kicker subs; 1600w 4-channel amp for the two JL Audio component speakers(very nice) up front and the two massive audio speakers(slim fit for the convertible mechanism) in the rear

Interior:  Leather is great, clean, visors need replaced as the cardboard inside them and worn

Make sure you watch the youtube video of it.  Ebay won't let you directly paste the link anymore so you will have to get on youtube and search "1999 Pontiac Firehawk Convertible startup / interior / walk around" copy and paste that title... It should be the first link that pops up and my user ID is sgilbertt.  I did a walk-around and a startup of the car worth watching.


That pretty much sums it all up!  The pictures don't do the car justice.  Come see it and test drive it if you like. Email me or call me at

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
