This s an original Buccaneer Red 4speed trans am with a newly installed 385 c.i. Stroker engine ( with receipts ordered a 383 but actually is a 385 ) and is an original 4 speed car . Car has 194 Vortec heads , Edelbrock intake , carb , and fuel pump , Scatter shield , MSD 6AL with 6000rpm limiter chip , flex fan , header with full length exhaust , etc. All less then 100 miles just done last month . It runs and drives very well , has great power band throughout the gears and motor is just breaking in . Also all fluids have been changed 3X ans all additives ( zinc ) have been applied . The interior was done at a cost of over $7000 including all new seats/foam with custom work done in Carbon fiber finish and looks better in person than in pictures . Also all the plastics were replaced including the rear quarter plastics , headliner , lower door panels , all misc trim . The body is in very good shape and has some very small amounts of "bubbling " in the paint on the very lower portions of the rear quarter panels and one edge of the rear bumper where meets the quarter panel on the passenger side ( As I recall ) but gives a very nice overall appearance even up close . It is a 40 year old car but is a solid car with a great sub frame and original floors , solid trunk , very good original seam seals on bottom of both doors , solid inner panels as to rust where typical rust occurs like trunk deck lid surround and door jambs even though it is and always was a NY car .The panel just below the front header panel ( about an inch wide running the length of lower header panel is black and cracking $140.00 to replace ) . All the lights , turn signals , wipers blower fan , horn , etc all work properly and car is a great daily driver .I originally purchased this car over 20 years ago from the original owner and sold it to my Cousin who blew a head gasket and then several years later sold it back to me. I have an original 400 c.i. trans am motor with the 6X heads at a machine shop and will be included in the sale if car is sold . Just needs a few things ( heater core /no radio /needs a fan shroud although never gets past 170 on temp ) . Also has aftermarket gauges on dash ( not by me ) and they all do work , oil pressure @ 75-80 on cold start then 35-40 , temp runs cool # 165-170 , charges well , tach idles low @ 750 rpm and sounds great , just a lot of fun . I can be reached @ 516-467-6890 . Car is listed locally for sale @ $13,500 . I have more then that into it without the purchase price . Very fair price very nice car .

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.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
