Pontiac Fiero Indy Edition on 2040-cars
Chino Hills, California, United States
For auction a 1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy Edition. This is one of the 255 Fiero Indy with 4 speed manual transmission available in the world. There were a total of 2000 Fiero Indy Edition ever produced. This is original California Car. Car was sitting for almost 12 years in a concrete storage covered with car cover. I cleaned and covered the gas tank. Replaced all hoses, fuel pump, and fuel filter. I replaced all 4 tires with some used tires as the old ones were cracked. I started the car and it starts and drives. I attempted replacing the front brake pads, but had difficulty compressing the pistons on the front caliper. I managed to compress the caliper and replace the pads, but needs front caliper as the brake is weak. It also needs a new battery as I have to jump start. As I mentioned earlier, the car has been sitting for almost 12 years. It was a running and driving car before it was parked. According to the previous owner, he replaced the clutch with a Centerforce clutch at 116K miles. The interior is in very condition considering the age of the car, but it will need a new headliner. The car is fully loaded with power package group, AC, and more. The car has clean California title and currently registered as Non-Op. Please do not ask what exactly the car needs. Basically, I have only clean the gas tank and replace the fuel pump and filter. I got the car started and test drove it around the block. That's it. At the start, the car will RPM around 2K, but it settles at 800. I do not know how well the engine is running. I am sorry, but I am not a mechanic. If you are local, you are welcome to come see the car. Just do your research and think of the items it will need to be replace to bring back the car to road worthy that has been sitting for 12 years. Thank you. Car is located in Chino Hills, CA.
NO WARRANTY ARE OFFERED WITH THE SALE. THE CAR IS SOLD "AS IS". |

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
