2 owner car which I purchased from a local dealership in the summer of 1979 after I graduated high school and the car was less than a year old and like new. The car originally was a Solar Gold Limited Edition model, I rebuilt the engine in 1984 the block was bored .30 over with forged pistons a crane cam, Edelbrock Perfomer aluminum intake with a Holley Street Avenger carburetor, the Turbo 350 automatic trans has a B&M Transpack and 2500 stall speed converter newly rebuilt with less than 300 miles, 10 bolt positraction rear diff with 3.73 gears, new Flowtec aluminum headers , new exhaust with Flowmaster Super 40's, new power steering pump, hoses and gear box, new ft brake calipers, new chrome alternator and valve covers, new suspension bushings, ball joints and shocks, the BF Goodrich Radial T/.A's have low mileage. The interior is new right down to the steering wheel and carpet, the only improvement would be to replace the dash and front seat belts.
I customized the body by molding in the flares to the fenders and quarters, added window etching and changed the color to a midnight blue metallic paint from BASF in 2011 this car runs great and handles like new, its going to be very hard for me but I feel its time to let go, it seems ashamed to let it just sit in the garage, I only drive it to car shows in the fall and put less than 100 miles on it a year. the car is not flawless, but is extremely nice with a mirror finish! |

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.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When 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.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
