1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe 2-door 5.7l Repairable Easy Project on 2040-cars
Enfield, Connecticut, United States
|
This auction is for a 1998 Trans Am with a 5.7 LS1 engine and 4L60E automatic transmission. The car has been in a very minor front end collision as shown in the pictures. It was paid off by the prior owners insurance company and therefore it has a salvage title. The car is in very nice shape and was obviously very well taken care of. The body is in nice shape, with no rust and the paint shines great. There are a few small scratches and chips here and there as is expected on a car of it's age but I would say it's in above average condition. The interior is all in very good condition as well. The seats are leather, with no rips or tears and are quite comfortable. It has all of the usual power options and a Monsoon stereo system which plays loud and clear. The wheels are chrome plated aluminum and are not peeling or flaking. The LS1 engine runs and sounds great and the car drives in the yard. I have not driven it on the street. The car has headers and a modified exhaust with no cats and an SLP intake, other than that it appears to be all stock. Everything on the car seems to work as it should. The damage on the car is very minimal, I really am at a loss as to why it was totaled. It will need a left headlight assembly, repair or replace the front cover and replace the left fender. The hood needs very minor repair as shown in the pictures. The right fender will need paint as well (clear is peeling where the auction company put tape on it). This about as easy as you can get in a project car and will require a very minimal effort to get back on the road. I have a headlight and a left fender that will be available to the winning bidder for an additional $200 if wanted. This car is being sold as is with no warranty. It is not fit for the road in it's current state due to the headlight and the fact that it is illegal to operate a salvage vehicle prior to repair in CT. It has a salvage title. Please do not bid on the car if you do not intend to buy it. Feel free to ask all questions that you have before the auction ends, I will be glad to answer them. I will be glad to assist with loading the car on a truck if you need it shipped and will try to help buyer find shipping through Central Dispatch. I have an account there and will list it to help find a ride. |

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
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."
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
