My step daughter had a boyfriend who needed a car. She co-signed because his credit was bad. He found another girlfriend and skipped town. We finally tracked him down. In the meantime, he blew a radiator hose and drove it until it seized. He had no problem with the repossession and skipped town again. We were stuck with a car with a $6800 pay off and a blown engine. I found a used engine with only 45000 miles on it and installed it. It started right up and runs perfectly. I put on new front brakes and had the interior detailed. We've driven it 3000 miles with no problems. It gets around 30 MPG on the highway if you don't put your foot in it but will get up and move if you do. It is currently licensed until 2014 and has a clear title.
The car is not perfect by any means and I will tell you the problems that I know of so that there are no surprises. First is that the air conditioning isn't working. I might have lost the charge during the engine swap or it's something else. Next is that the cruise control is out. I have a new switch assembly but don't feel confident enough around air bags to pull the wheel off to replace it. There are areas of wear and abuse in the interior that are shown in the pictures. The right front corner is scratched up where he misjudged. nand lastly is the roof that was damaged when he locked himself out and mangled the paint getting in . Luckily, it's not noticeable when the door's shut. The gauge cover has a crack, the console has some damage and the rug has a stain.
Local pick-up is best but I will work with you if it needs to be shipped. I'll take a deposit through Pay-Pal but the balance should be in a certified check or cash.
So there you have it. I'm not a big car guy or a GM guy but I will say that I'm fairly impressed. It's a nice highway cruiser that won't wear you out on a long ride. The engine fires right up and runs like a clock every time. With only 4800 miles on it, it should last a very long time.
I'll be taking a bath on this project (the engine wasn't cheap) but it is what it is. I hope you will find that it meets your needs.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
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.
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."
