This is a solid car - you will be happy. You turn the key and it roars! It is a daily driver that turns heads and gets noticed. I took it to a car show, and after being persuaded to enter it - it placed third! I have included several pics of the car. The paint is a fair older job that may need some TLC in the coming years, but from 10 ft. - it looks great. A few air pockets, but no breakthrough - look at the pics.
This was a Tempest Custom convertible with a V-6 and automatic that has been converted into a GTO. Big block 400, 4 speed on the floor and all correct badges. It has power brakes and steering and a really nice stereo as well. The amp is in the trunk, and it can be easily removed for a more "era correct" look. The rear speakers can be placed in the trunk of the back seat as shown if you usually drive with only two people.
The hidden headlights operate as they should and the convertible top does as well. A new switch has been installed to control the top and new fluid, lines and electrical hookups as well make the top glide just as it should. Everything works on the car but the gas gauge. Included is a hood mounted tach if you want to use it - or you can hook up the tach in the gauge cluster. I was going to go hood mounted, but I just haven't done it yet. The previous owner said the tach worked, but I have never hooked it up - you can shift this car by sound very easily!
As you can see in pics, this car is immaculate. I tried to get a few undercarriage pics without a lift, but they are not very good. The car is solid. You can actually drive it home, if you wish. It drives out great, and sounds even better. I would love for you to come look at it. I've had my fun - now it's someone else's turn. I am 51 and a cruiser, so you can rest assured that it hasn't been dogged!
Comes with hood tach, a brand new black era correct steering wheel, extra set of shocks, schematics and restoration info and whatever else I find that I have forgotten to mention. Why am I selling it? I have two Bronco's that I am working on (67 and 75), and I need to focus on them instead of heading to the lake every weekend in this Bad Boy! Look at my feedback - I've sold cars, motorcycles, boats, etc. I try to be as honest as I can - and I bet you like this car! I did when I got it, and I've only made it better! Please ask any questions - and Yes - I will help with shipping - if you go that route. I will warn you, though - there will be a few wires loosened in travel as well as a vac line or two. I had to go through the entire car when it arrived!
Payment has to clear - and I have a small note left on the car thru JJ Best Banc - so you can use them for financing - they've inspected the car! Got to pay them off to get your title, so it may be 72 hours or so after payment - They are quick!

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
