I bought this car about four years ago and in that time I have only done about 2000 miles. I really don't get the time to drive it so its just been sitting in my garage. The car includes a lot of original paperwork including factory manuals and a log book in which the original owner documented every time he added fuel, serviced the car, etc. The car has 36,400 original miles and is in great condition - no rust and could easily make a daily driver. The handling is great and true, the breaking smooth and the engine runs and sounds great with the flomaster pipes. The interior, paintwork, engine, drive, wheels are all completely original and solid. The interior is unbelievable and tthe T-Tops remove easily. The photos do not do this car justice. The original cassette sounds like you'd expect and theres even a free cassette with 80s music.
This is a 33 year old car and in fantastic condition, passes smog easily. However there are some minor that can be dealt with easily.
- From cold the car can sometimes takes a couple of starts. I think the choke needs tuning. It always starts immediately when warm.
- I removed the firebird and had the plastic chrome side trim removed. I believe the firebird can easily be replaced.
- Electric windows are a little slow.
- The middle turbo light doesnt work - I believe the cable was cut but never bothered with it. (doesn't affect turbo)
- The gear selector bevel cracked in the LV heat - it could with fixing a little nicer or replacing.
For a 33 year old car these really are minor issues - the car looks, drives and sounds great. A real head turner.
Pleas contact me with any additional questions, inspections welcome. I will not provide shipping however if you wish to arrange this yourself I will work with you.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General 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.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
