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.

Pontiac should come back as a performance division for GM

Thu, Apr 6 2017

For decades the Pontiac brand was known as GM's performance brand. From the 1964 Pontiac GTO, to the 1967 Firebird, to the 1984 Fiero, to the 2006 Solstice Turbo, and 2009 G8 GXP, Pontiac had a reputation for building exciting cars, with bold styling and performance to back it up. When the Camaro was killed off in 2002, the Pontiac Firebird died off with it, and the last Pontiacs were built in early 2010. But with names like G3, G4, and G6, Pontiac's performance image had long faded from it's earlier glory days. My idea for Pontiac's revival would be to bring it back as a dedicated performance marque similar to Chevy's Super Sport (SS) line up of years past. First, and most obvious would be to bring back the Pontiac Firebird. Offering the entry-level model with the Camaro's 275HP turbo 4 cylinder engine, then having the Camaro SS's 455HP V8, but also offering a halo model Trans Am that is a revamped Camaro ZL-1 along with it's tire-shredding 650HP, supercharged V8 and race tuned suspension. Secondly, I would bring back the GTO. Which I would base on the current Chevy SS, but I would use the full 455-horsepower LS4 V8 (rather than the 415-hp setup that it has now). Furthermore, I would add the impressive 650-hp supercharged V8 to provide real competition to the Charger Hellcat. Importantly, I would make sure that the new GTO had bold, distinctive styling that really set it apart. I understand that purists would want any Pontiac GTO to be a two-door coupe, but I think that they could forgive that if the new GTO was an outstanding American performance car. Next, I would take the Buick Cascada convertible, add much bolder styling, swap in the Camaro's 275-hp turbo engine, and tune up the suspension to provide more performance than luxury (without being harsh). And finally I would round out the line up by using the new 2018 Traverse , but use the new, bold Pontiac design language to spice up the model's looks, tweak the engines for more power, and again provide a performance suspension that matches the model's new sporty looks. Obviously, having a high performance Pontiac model line up would steal away some sales from Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac models. But I think that it would more than make up for this by also stealing away sales from competing brands.

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."

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
