Up for sale is a 1987 Pontiac Fiero SE. The car is in EXCELLENT mechanical condition. Everything on the car works perfectly (all lights, power locks, power windows, speakers, locks, heat, A/C , headlights, wipers, etc). The only thing that doesn't work on the car is the cruise control.

Interior:
***The interior of the car was originally cloth seats with tan carpet, metallic colored trim around the gauges, and dark brown carpet inlays on the doors.
The original carpet was removed and red carpet was installed to match the car's exterior. Custom red floor mats with the logo "Fiero" stitched in them overlay the carpet.
To replace the original grey-metallic toned trim, red trim was cut to fit and installed throughout the cabin (see pictures). The carpet on the door panels was removed and replaced with custom leather panels.
The center console armrest with cup holders is custom made from leather and is permanently fixed in place. It is embossed with red stitching outlining the Fiero logo.
The seats are now covered with custom red leather seat covers which are stitched to match the original Fiero seat stitching. The seat covers conform to the seats so well you can't tell that they are covers and not brand new seats. All of the original speakers in the car still work well, the antenna gets excellent radio signal, and the car has a new Pioneer radio to replace its original one.

This was a non-smoker car, the interior is clean with very minimal wear.

Exterior:
All of the body panels fit seamlessly to the car, there is no warping and no dents. The only issue with the exterior is the paint, from a distance the paint looks fine but if you get close you can see the front hood is beginning to peel somewhat.

Electricals:
All of the buttons, headlights, overhead lights, trunk light, brights, headlight motors, power windows, power locks, engine hatch buttons, turn signals, fan, climate control, speakers, and wipers all work. The only item that doesn't work is the cruise control.

The A/C in this car blows ice cold and the heat warms up the inside of the car very quickly.

Mechanicals:
The car runs flawlessly. Everything is in good working order. The alternator, wheel bearings, battery, battery cables, fluids, oil filter, air filter, and parts of the front suspension were all replaced in July 2013 (this year). The engine has plenty of power and the car starts on the first crank. I have been using this car as a daily driver since mid-summer and it has done roughly 4 hours of highway driving a week and countless hours of city driving since then- the car has never had any issues whatsoever, it's dead reliable. This past August I drove it over 7 hours to the beach and back with the A/C blasting cold air.
This is a car you can get in, turn on, and it will get you anywhere you want to go and back with no issues. The new seats, armrest, and cupholders make this a car that you can sit in for hours and remain comfortable (I have). The car is a blast to drive, you can take a turn at any speed and the engine still has plenty of power to set the car back on its rear wheels when you hit the gas.

The car is sold AS-IS and the buyer is responsible for shipping the car or coming to pick it up in person.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ

Sat, Mar 4 2023

A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
