1984 Pontiac Fiero Like Ferrari 308gtb Mera Stinger Style Kit Car Rust Free Az on 2040-cars
1984 Fiero Kit Kar / Ferrari 308GTB Up for auction: as you'll see in the pics its an unfinished project with endless possibilities for the next owner. Starting life as a nice rust free Fiero, body panels started coming off while new fiberglass pieces started going back on. This kit did come out of Canada, originally we thought it was a Stinger or Mera kit but after doing more research turns out not to be either. Nevertheless its still one of the nicer conversions Ive seen. Have a Ferrari 308 style car at a fraction of the price with our super low reserve. Make it even better with possibly a better more reliable and better power plant in the back. V8 conversions on these cars now a days are much more simple and less costly too. Car comes with a box or OE Parts taken off and another box of fiberglass parts yet to be installed. DRIVETRAIN: The motor is a stock Fiero 2.4L 4 cyl matted to the stock 4 spd. It ran when parked but when I tried to crank it over recently, theres no power getting to the starter so could need an ignition switch or possibly just a wire off or cut somewhere. Motor spins over by hand. No promises on its condition. The exhaust was already done to mimic the Ferrari look. Lots of people put Northstar V8s in these cars and there are plenty of conversion kits on the market to help you with the job. Also, there are lots of donar cars out there now available whether you want to go LT1, LS1 or Caddy aluminum V8 All which are 300+ HP easily. INTERIOR: is showing its age from sitting in the Az sun for many yrs. Mostly complete, but Im sure it will need restoration during the completion of the project. Factory GM large sunroof car too. Door panels are gone, this was a factory AC car making it nicer for the build. SUSPENSION: All stock Fiero components, last owner had cut the stock springs for a small drop. The rims are a focal point, they are custom 15" Cheviot rims made in Australia, and have a nice Ferrari OE look to them. Tires are old BFGs. BODY: Fiberglass Ferrari body kit has been partially installed onto what looks to have been a great original Fiero body with no signs of accidents or rust ever. The project was started back in the 80s and left unfinished sometime in the 90s where it sat here in Az. You can see on the back hatch area where someone damaged the hatch area trying to open it. Ferrari style door handles already installed and work well. EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE THE PICS BELOW SPEAK VOLUMES but Im sure I may of overlooked some stuff. Check out over 125 pics below, be patient it may take a minute or 2 for them to all load. Low reasonable Reserve Bid Early and bid smart so you dont lose out !!

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

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.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
