I bought this car over a year ago and have had great fun with it. I don't drive it anymore because I'm 6'3", 220 and have a lower back problem. I fit just fine....its getting in and out that's tough. My son is 6'00" and he scoots the seat up when he drives it....just to give you an idea of leg room. I've gotten usually 26mpg with it unless I use the A/C. Then it drops to 21 or 22.

Since I've had it I've had only one problem with it. The control module went out. $35.00 for a new one and no problems since. When I got it, and story goes I'm 3rd owner, it ran good but was a bouncy, spongy ride. I put new shocks and idler arms on the front and new struts on the back. I had it aligned and it became a mad little go cart! It handles very well and is a blast to run through curves at speeds the law says you're not supposed to! Its a mid engine 2 seater that hugs the road without side sway and roll. Very fun and surprising. Its got 59,3xx miles on it. I have no reason to believe that's not original. I won't bore you with the history of the vehicle but it reportedly sat in the garage for 10 years after the first owner passed away.

 

V6 with the 4speed. Clutch is very good, shifting is a breeze. No gear noises or unusual sounds. Its not a "muscle car" by any means and was never intended to be (don't know what Pontiac was thinkin) but its low geared and very quick in the first 2. I never beat on this car but it will surprise you and others when you downshift and leap frog through traffic. Passing on the highway doesn't require downshifting unless you just want to. It IS a "sports car" according to Fiero enthusists and it rides like one too. You will notice bumps that you wouldn't in the family truckster.

 

Aside from whats already listed I replaced the battery earlier this year. I converted the A/C to 134a. Original refridgerant was still putting out cool air but not cold. It is cold now and I seldom use high unless in the 90s. More often than not I just open the sunroof. The tires are Goodyear Eagle GT II. They have 75% give or take tread left. I have not tuned it since I've had it but doesn't seem to need it. Exhaust sounds great and has no leaks. I have added oil only 3 times since I bought the car May 12'. 

 

Mechanically this is a 9/10. Only thing needing attention is the right headlight motor gear is stripped. You can unplug them and they stay open, functioning like normal headlights. I have ordered the rebuild kit and will try do it before you pick it up. Takes a half hour to do and is a $20 kit. The cruise control is not working. I ordered a troubleshoot/repair manual exerpt on it but I don't understand electrical. Cosmetically it needs paint. The clear coat is peeling in many spots. There are chips in the paint. I've tried to take the best pictures of it I could. The window seals are dry rotted and cracked. They don't let any water in the car so I never replaced them.  Sunroof does not leak either.

 

PW, PDL which are sticky, Power mirrors. Trunk release button inside. Stock AM/FM cassette. Sounds ok but was probably top of the line in 86' lol  Goofy sounding dual tone horn which may or may not honk on first try.

 

I've tried to list everything I can think of but if you have questions I will answer as quickly as possible. If I think of anything I have forgotten I will add to auction. Haynes repair manual and cruise control repair included.

 

Thanks for looking. Reserve is lower than the buy it now so bid with confidence that you're getting a good car at a good price. Bring a trailer or bring a driver. I trust this to go anywhere without problems.

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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
