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.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
