This is my 1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula Edition, with a 3800 Series II L67 V6 motor swap, she is my baby! They made less then 6,000 of these cars making it pretty rare, and as the days go by, more and more collectible! The motor and transmission are from a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, that had roughly 40,000 miles when pulled. This is a project car, and is CURRENTLY NOT DRIVEABLE! I purchased the car from the Original owner family. It is a born and raised Georgia car with ZERO rust on the cradle or body, the only rust to speak of is some very minor surface rust on the battery tray. The tires are older, but show no signs of age, very sticky Yokohama AV1-60i with almost .300 tread left (over 1/4inch, almost like new). The battery was also new last year. The car has AC, but the system is not hooked up. The headlight motors work, The power window motors also work, but are slow. The paint is original and quite faded. it cleans up OK, but I had plans to repaint the car to its original glory. The body has very minor flaws the two most major I have pictured, and they are simply small cracks in the fiberglass panels. The interior is all original and complete. It is pretty clean, the drivers seat is torn, and the passengers seat has a small tear on the side (pictured). Odometer shows 182,595, but the title reads EXEMPT due to the age of the car. In Georgia as of 2013 it is able to register as a ANTIQUE vehicle, and that means no inspections, or emissions testing. The insurance on the car is very cheap, I paid $90 a month, where my 1997 Buick Regal costs me twice that!

I PERSONALLY HAVE OVER 300 HOURS OF TIME IN THE MOTOR BUILD AND ORIGINAL SWAP

The drivetrain swap was done to the car, and driveable. I had the car registered and insured until recently. The stock 3.8L supercharged V6 motor produces 240 Horsepower, and 280 Ft-Lbs of torque. The only things that were not completed when the drivetrain swap was done is the speedo, tach, and odometer are not wired to the new harness yet, but the car ran perfect, and drove awesome. Gobs of torque. This winter I pulled the car into my shop to drop the cradle and do some performance modifications to the drivetrain.

The mods to the motor are as follow:
Ported TB
Ported LIM
Ported Gen III M90 Eaton Blower with silencer ports block off plate installed
ZZP MPS system installed for easy pulley swaps, with 3.1, 3.25, and 3.4 Pulleys
ARP Head stud kit
ARP Header Bolts
ARP Rocker Bolts
Aluminum LIM gasket upgrade
Comp Cams XP Cam
Comp Cams 105# Valve Springs
Comp Cams Valve Locks
Stainless Steel SI Valves
ZZP Titanium Valve Spring Retainers
Ported and Polished Heads
Stainless Steel PCV covers
Walbro 255LPH Fuel Pump
(6) Siemens Deka 60# EV1 Fuel Injectors
ZZP High Volume Water Pump
ZZP Flex Plate
ZZP 10.5MM Plug Wires (red)
ZZP Modified Fuel Rails (black powder coated)
ZZP Polished Aluminum Valve Covers
ZZP Drilled Thermostat
ZZP oil Volume kit
Speed Daddy Headers with upgraded clamps
3" to dual 2.5" Y pipe
Dual Glasspacks
2.5" tail pipes with dual, Authentic Chevrolet C6 Corvette tips
TransGo shift-kit installed in the 4L60E-HD Transmission
Custom Low mount Alternator Bracket

New Radiator
All New Poly Bushings (front set needs to be installed still)
(4) New KYB GR-2 Struts
New Stainless Brake Lines all around

When I was driving the car, before I dropped the cradle to add all the new performance parts it was in great driving condition, started every time, ran perfect with 0KR, shifted excellent transmission was very tight, never overheated, and stopped excellent. When It is put back together it will be an amazing street machine! I had plans to have the car tuned to run on E85(Ethanol), and all the modifications to do that have been done, or run it on pump gas no problem.

To finish this project car the fuel tank must be reinstalled, fuel pump and lines hooked up, install alternator and starter, ignition system installed, fill all fluids (Oil, Trans, Coolant), re install cradle to the body of the car, then hook up the wiring harness to the motor and transmission, Make the final torquing to cradle, and motor mount bolts, then it is ready to start and drive! All the parts needed for the car to be put back together are here. I have several large boxes worth of good spare 3800 motor parts, and OEM Fiero parts. The motor has not been run since the modifications have been made, so all of the parts are still NEW AND NEVER USED. The 3800 does not have a break in procedure for the cam, so it is ready to run! I would highly recommend a professional tune be done on the PCM for maximum gains from the modifications. The setup on this motor is highly capable of well over 300 Horsepower to the WHEELS, and even more TORQUE. I DAILY DRIVE a Buick Regal GS 100+ miles, it also has the same motor as my Fiero, but with less mods done. The mods to it are, High Compression Block, VS cam, Ported Blower with 3.5 pulley, Speed Daddy Headers, full exhaust, and was Dyno Tuned @ 271HP and 331FT-LBS TO THE WHEELS. The Fiero has a more powerful setup in a lighter RWD Platform, and a TON more money invested. I have tons of experience working on, and modifying these 3.8L supercharged motors...

I have $7,418.78 invested in JUST PARTS for the Fiero to date, and am very meticulous about keeping receipts, I do not have every receipt ever, but I do have most of them. I understand that my loss will be someones gain, and am at a point and time in my life where projects and toys are not my priority, so as sad as it makes me it is time for me to move on from this beautiful classic collectors car.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart Â— and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.Â The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.Â For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:

Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500

Thu, Jun 20 2019

Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.

This or That: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 vs. 1984 Pontiac Fiero

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Welcome to another round of This or That, where two Autoblog editors pick a topic, pick a side and pull no punches. Last round pitted yours truly against Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, and my chosen VW Vanagon Syncro narrowly defeated Brandon's 1987 Land Rover. In fact, it was, by far, the closest round we've seen, with 1,907 voters seeing things my way (for 50.8 percent of the vote) versus 1,848 votes for Brandon's Rover (49.2 percent). Sweet, sweet victory! For this latest round of This or That, I've roped Editor Greg Migliore into what I think is a rather fun debate. We've each chosen our favorite terrible cars, setting a price limit of $10,000 to make sure neither of us went too crazy with our automotive atrocities. I think we've both chosen terribly... and I mean that in the best way possible. 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Jeremy Korzeniewski: Why It's Terrible: Taken in isolation, the Chrysler Crossfire isn't necessarily a terrible car. In fact, it drives pretty darn well, and there's a lot of solid engineering under its slinky shape. Problem is, that engineering was already rather long in the tooth well before Chrysler ever got its hands on it, having come from Mercedes-Benz, which used the basic chassis and drivetrain in a previous version of its SLK coupe and roadster. Granted, the SLK was an okay car, too, but even when new, it hardly set the world on fire with sporty driving dynamics. Chrysler took these decent-but-no-more bits and pieces from the Mercedes parts bin – remember, this car was conceived in the disastrous Merger Of Equals days Â– and covered them with a rather attractive hard-candy shell. Unfortunately, the super sporty shape wrote checks in the minds of buyers that its well-worn mechanicals were simply unable to cash, though an injection of power courtesy of a supercharged V6 engine in the SRT6 model, as seen here, certainly helped ease some of those woes. In the end, Chrysler was left with a so-called halo car that looked the part but never quite performed the part. It was almost universally panned by critics as an overpriced parts-bin special, which, I must add, was damningly accurate. As a result, sales were very slow, and within the first few months, dealers were clearancing the car at cut-rate prices, just to keep them from taking up too much of the showroom floor. Why It's Not That Terrible, After All: I can speak from personal experience when discussing the Chrysler Crossfire. You see, I owned one. Well, sort of...
