Up for auction is an automotive icon:  a 1979 Pontiac Firebird Formula. Most of the '79 Firebirds had a modestly powered 301 or 305 engine. Some had the more robust 350. A few had as a factory option the Olds 403. This is one of those

cars. This is the same drive train as the best Trans Ams ' without the screaming chicken!  The body looks pretty sharp, the paint has a good shine to it. There is a fleck or three missing but is quite presentable. The only rust I can see is a bit of surface rust on the hood near the right hood air scoop. The interior is in very nice condition.  Its what some term a "20 footer". Some idiot put in a temporary dash cap that does not quite match-oh wait, that was me. Sorry. It will need a new decal kit if you want to start going to shows but as a driver its pretty much good to go. The car starts right up every time and did all winter. I've been driving it everyday and it goes down the road at a good clip, draws smiles and turns heads every time I head out the driveway. I suspect it will need new shocks and the tires are old but they are serving well. I don't have a lot of history on this car. I do know it spent some years of its life in a shed in southern Illinois, a fate that I saved it from. The title I got was clear and mileage exempt due to age. My title says what's on the odometer which is 35 K. I cannot swear that's the true mileage so its either 35 or a surprisingly fit 135.  I drive cars but I don"t fix them. There may be other issues not readily apparent-but I have been driving this car on a daily basis to work, to kid's sports games, to grocery store etc and it has never failed to start, stall out or leave me stranded. Feel free to send me an email but I would prefer if you just called with any questions. two-oh-two five five oh-oh oh oh eight-my name is Claude. I suspect that many people reading this listing will know more about cars in general and this car in particular than I do so if you want to call and ask about "compression ratios" or some such its going to be a boring conversation but I will do the best I can. This car according to the NADA guide in average condition is worth close to $13,000.  My reserve is thousands less than that. Please bid with care and only do so with the realization that the successful bidder has entered into a legally binding contract. The winning bidder agrees to send me $750 via Paypal within 24 hours of close of the auction and pay the balance with bank wire, cash or cashier's check within 7 days. If you are local or near local you are invited to see/drive vehicle which is located just outside of Washington, DC. I am happy to keep the car here free of charge for up to 30 days. I will help with loading if you want it shipped. Happy bidding!

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It 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.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan

Tue, Feb 7 2017

During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.

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.
