* Cooling/Air Conditioning System: Champion 3 core radiator (runs cool on hottest Arizona days); heater core replaced; air conditioning converted to R-134C and works well.

 

Exterior:

 

* Paint: The basecoat Metallic Blue paint is original, except the front fascia and hood have been repainted; old clear coat was sanded off and silver racing stripes were painted before a new clear coat was applied; paint is better than new. 

 

* No Rust: The car has no rust; it spent its life in Idaho, California, and Arizona, mostly in garages.

 

Interior:

 

* Seats, Doors, Visors & Trim: Mr. Mike’s GT Style leather seats and visors installed in 2006.

 

* Weather Stripping: In original excellent condition.

Other Info:

 

* The car starts quickly and runs great; it is very quick and it sounds great!  We were building the car to run in the 12’s but, I do not know if we made it.

 

* The car has had two previous adult owners before me and was only driven in the summer in Idaho before I brought it to Southern CA in 2004 with 84,000 miles on it.  The car has 98,000 Miles on the odometer today, but as almost everything that rotates or wears has been replaced since 2008 and except for the engine which had 32,000 miles on it when I bought it and has no more than about 8,000 miles of use since being partially rebuilt; hence, the car has many fewer effective miles on it.

 

* The car has a sun roof and original sun roof cover and case, power windows, tilt wheel, and power door locks, power mirrors.  The interior is in excellent condition.  The windshield was replaced a few years ago.

 

* Every bulb in the car has been replaced; headlights are Sylvania Silverstar; all lights work; headlight actuators were rebuilt and work like new.

 

* The car has no spare tire as the 18” wheels and tires will not fit in the Fiero spare tire space or the trunk if you had a flat…AAA and two cans of fix-a- flat is my solution as I have never had a flat in 56 years of driving.

 

* The car is smoke, pet, and accident free.

 

* Since I have owned the car the only times it has gotten wet is when it was being washed.

 

Third Party Inspection:

 

We do not have any of the usual third party inspection companies in the Prescott, AZ area, but I have had it evaluated by Jim Wing of Autotech Appraisals, (928) 541-7623.  His relevant business is a stated value (for insurance) appraisal service and he also appraises cars for buyers and sellers at auctions such as Barrett - Jackson.  The last picture on this page contains his report and he will discuss his opinions about the car with you, if you call him.  His appraised value for the car is $22,000. 

 

If you want inspect the car, personally, or have the car inspected by a third party at my location, I will be pleased to cooperate with such inspection.

 

Minor Problem: The only physical problem noted by the appraiser was a cracked left rear sail panel which is shown in the last photo on this page.  Otherwise, his opinion of the car’s glass was Good.  Replacement sail panels are readily available here on eBay and elsewhere.

 

Title:

 

* The Car’s Title is Clear.

 

* The CarFax report shows that the car had a California DMV Junk Title issued in 2009, but there is no report of accidents, total loss, or structural damage, or water damage in that same report because the car has never been damaged in any way. 

 

* The Junk Title was actually issued as part of the original plan to use the car as a kit car donor under the provisions of California’s Senate Bill 100 (SB100) Specially Constructed Vehicle program which provides a very complex regime for granting permission for the construction of 500 Specially Constructed Vehicles (mostly kit cars) per year.  One of the provisions of this program is that if a car is part of the kit car, even if the car is in perfect condition, the car must be treated as a dismantled vehicle and be issued a Junk Title as it will no longer be the vehicle it was and will be reconstructed as a vehicle which in no way resembles the car it was. 

 

* California Vehicle Code Section 580 Specially Constructed Vehicle states, “A specially constructed vehicle" is a vehicle which is built for private use, not for resale, and is not constructed by a licensed manufacturer or remanufacturer.  A specially constructed vehicle may be built from (1) a kit; (2) new or used, or a combination of new and used, parts; or (3) a vehicle reported for dismantling, as required by which, when reconstructed, does not resemble the original make of the vehicle dismantled.  A specially constructed vehicle is not a vehicle which has been repaired or restored to its original design by replacing parts.”

 

* After, completing the first administrative part of this process which started on January 2, 2008, I decided life was too short and the cost too high to build a kit car and I would simply go for an engine swap, but the DMV would not remove the Junk Title. 

 

* The engine swap was completed in August 2009, and the CA DMV issued a Rebuilt Title. 

 

* In 2010, I moved the car to Arizona and the AZ Motor Vehicle Department issued another Rebuilt Title even though the car has never been damaged in any way. 

 

California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) Approved Engine Swap:

 

The car had a California Bureau of Auto Repair (BAR) approved engine swap completed in 2009 (BAR Vehicle Information Label is attached to the doorframe).  At that time, the car passed California smog testing as shown on the CarFax report.  I later moved to rural AZ where we have no smog testing.  The California engine swap approval may still be valid, but I do not know if it is.  If you are a California buyer you need to do your own due diligence in this matter.  I see no reason that that the car will not pass any state’s smog regulations, but I do not state or represent that it will.

 

Why Am I Selling the Car?

 

This has been a very long project and labor of love and I have about $32,000 invested in it, but I am about to turn 70 years old and I have too many cars.

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

Junkyard Gem: 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE Convertible

Sun, Mar 5 2023

For the entire 24-year production run of the GM J platform (best known for the Chevrolet Cavalier), the Pontiac Division offered new J-Body cars for sale in the United States. First there was the J2000, followed in quick succession by the 2000, 2000 Sunbird and Sunbird. The Sunbird stuck around until the Cavalier got a major redesign for the 1995 model year, at which point Pontiac changed the car's name to Sunfire. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those early Sunfires, a top-of-the-line SE convertible with the optional big engine and manual transmission. The Sunfire was an extremely close sibling to the same-year Cavalier (by the late 1980s, all the other US-market GM divisions had dropped their J-cars, which meant no more Skyhawks, Cimarrons or Firenzas), quite difficult to distinguish from its near-twin at a glance. The base engine for the 1997 Sunfire convertible was the pushrod 2.2-liter straight-four that powered so many J-bodies of the 1990s. That engine produced just 120 gnashing, valve-floating horsepower, not much by late-1990s standards. For a mere 450 additional dollars, however, the 2.4-liter Twin Cam engine and its high-revving 150 horses could be had by '97 Sunfire buyers. That's what's in this car. This is one of the members of the Oldsmobile Quad 4 family, though some fanatics will yell at you if you apply that name to the versions that don't have big QUAD 4 lettering cast into the valve cover. This is the most powerful engine ever used in production Sunfires. For 1997, Pontiac offered a four-speed automatic transmission for no extra cost in the Sunfire convertible. Buyers of all other Sunfire models that year had to shell out either $550 or $810 ($1,026 or $1,511 in 2023 dollars) for a two-pedal rig. That means that the buyer of this car really wanted the five-speed manual transmission (or just hungered for the $810 credit offered in the fine print for takers of the manual). Plenty of free-breathing engine power, five-on-the-floor driving enjoyment and the open skies above. What a fun car! This one made it to nearly 180,000 miles. For this car with the Quad 4 under the hood and a clutch pedal on the floor, the MSRP was $18,539 (about $34,584 today). Its Cavalier LS convertible twin with the same engine/transmission setup cost $17,365 ($32,394 now). This car has a bunch of options, including the 15" Rally aluminum wheels, so the out-the-door price would have been higher. The last year for the Sunfire was 2005, same as the Cavalier.
