1985 Pontiac Fiero Gt V6 4 Speed Low Miles Loaded on 2040-cars
Palmyra, Virginia, United States
|
1985 Pontiac Fiero GT - loaded Street Survivor for sale I bought this car last fall, and have enjoyed it
tremendously (I had a Red/tan 2M4 in college but always wanted a GT). Draws a crowd, and the kids love it. Fantastic way to drive to work at low cost
- and a lot of fun! It has 49,900 miles ( I bought it with just over 40K). Completely loaded: ·
2.8L V6 Engine ·
4 Speed Manual Transmission (seriously who wants
an auto?) ·
A/C (with brand new compressor) ·
Tilt, cruise (works perfectly), intermittent
wipers ·
Power door windows and locks, mirrors, headlamp
doors - all work properly ·
Firebird CD stereo has replaced the old cassette
deck and has EQ and iPod input!!!! VERY RARE!!!! Same Pontiac orange backlighting - seamless
OEM look. CD and iPod in a Fiero without ruining vintage look! ·
New Pioneer 4x10 speakers, plus stock in
headrest. Killer sound. ·
Rare cassette storage option ·
New moonroof and door window gaskets ·
Replaced heater core, washer motor, brakes (new
slotted and drilled rotors, new low dust pads, rebuilt master cylinder, one
worn caliper rebuilt) ·
OEM wheels and tires for the purists (more than
60% tread) ·
The best steering wheel, the padded GT 3 spoke I bought it for $5000, and have put about $1500 of parts into
it. So my BIN is a very reasonable $5950
and the reserve is set at $5600. Will
not accept lowball offers. I will just
continue to enjoy the ride :) if I can't get a reasonable price. The very good ·
Non smoker interior is nearly mint ·
Great stereo set up with stock look ·
Super low miles ·
A lot of needed repairs done for you already ·
Everything works - even the headlamp motors
which is a common issue ·
A fill up is 8 gallons (holds 10) and will take
you 225 miles, which is 28 MPG. ·
I get over 25 even combined in town, with sports
car performance. ·
In VA, I have often filled up for a weeks worth
of driving for just over $20. Not many
$6000 cars YOU WANT TO DRIVE can do that. The not so good ·
The plastic panels have excellent paint, but the
steel engine lid paint is beginning to look tired, with some oxidizing and
orange peel. I plan to repaint if I keep
it over the winter. Lower aero panels
have some rubbed areas (damaged before me but not noticeable except up
close) that could be redone as well. ·
The hydraulic clutch is getting a little
tired. If you hold the clutch in a long
time (like at a long stop light) you notice it begin to engage. Not a problem in normal driving but a rebuilt
clutch master and slave (about $80 each plus time) would do the trick. I just don't leave the clutch down for more
than about 15 seconds and no problems.... ·
The headliner is looking tough, ditto on my
desire to replace over winter. I may
have it done before sale.....but no promises. ·
Two areas of interior dash paint could use a
touch up (base brown beginning to show over the light brown paint. This is a two tone piece that is intended to
have the base brown in some areas that are accented by areas painted by light -
easy touch up with correct paint). Great value at a great price. Selling to buy a tractor (I know I know - should probably keep her but Mrs says she's gotta go first!) $200 deposit required within 48 hours - non-refundable. Come drive it and if you don't want it that is all it will cost you to walk away, with positive feedback. Balance due in 7 days or at delivery whichever comes first. IF not picked up in 7 days it will be relisted and resold, but if you need time to pick it up that can be arranged with full payment. Call 434 five nine won for five three wun ask for Gene with questions. |

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
