1988 Pontiac Fiero Gt Coupe 2-door 2.8l on 2040-cars
Enterprise, Alabama, United States
|
The Good: Since the car is 26 years old , I had many components replaced to ensure better reliability.(new parts are listed in parentheses) * The car has the ORIGINAL 2.8L V6 engine that runs great at only 49,800 miles. (new plugs, plug wires and distributor cap, rotor and new starter) *The 3-speed automatic shifts smoothly and quietly every time. ( New Filter and upgraded torque converter lock valve) * The suspension is tight (upgraded with new front shocks, Rear struts, new front upper and lower A-frame bushings, new boots on upper and lower ball joints) and a four wheel alignment job from Firestone. Note the bushings weren't warn , but the rubber was dry. * This car drives and handles very good and turns heads, everything is stock with the exception of the 17" rims and low profile tires. The Low profile tires out perform the originals by far , but cause a little rougher ride. ( Rims , tires and alignment cost approx $2, 000) * The car has a new (catalytic converter, Oxygen sensor and the muffler shop made it so the exhaust system can be removed in several pieces by installing expensive flanges.) * Brakes ( 4 New slotted disk and brakes are new in front and good in back) * Air conditioning system upgraded to new high pressure Freon standard (New R134 Compressor, Dryer and expansion tube) cold air. * Fuel
system, (new fuel Tank,fuel pump/lines,
filter and new fuel gage sending unit in tank.)
Could be improved: 1. The car looks stunning, however the clear-coat has some hazing on the hood, tops of fenders roof and top of rear fenders. You may be able to use some product to make it go away. I have several pictures with it dry and several while washing the car and the water completely hides the fading. The Car still looks good but will eventually need painted! I'm asking, A lower price because of the paint. 2. The
car sat for several years and I have not driven it that much, therefore the
door locks and windows are stiff.
3. The
rubber on the outer part of the doors that wipes the windows are cracked and
will eventually need replaced. 4. The previous owners had an alarm system installed, which I hate and would eventually remove! Here is why, when the key is placed to start, the system goes through a check and then the starter kicks in 1-2 seconds later. I'm not a alarm specialist or I would have removed it by now. Plus if both door locks are not fully unlocked or locked the engine will not start. (it happened once until I figured it out.) 5. The Engine Temp needle fell off the other day. But still works. I guess this is common in the Fiero. The gage is about $70 at the fiero store. 6. The valve covers may drip just a tiny bit as I found a little oil spot on the garage floor after a month of sitting. Look at my other feedback and you will find that I try to be very honest. good luck I have $6,500 invested so my loss is your gain. Please don't hesitate to contact me!

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
