1989 Pontiac Firebird 


This car used to belong to my stepfather before he passed.. When I got it the engine had a loud knock in it so I replaced the engine with a brand new crate motor from napa. I also replaced much of the suspension, seals, headliner 4th generation seats, brakes and tires. I also put a VR3 Sound system with a 10' Sub in the back and new speakers all around (see pictures) Every spring a local mechanic has gone over it and replaced anything from wires that were fraying to new battery terminals and any other minor repairs making sure it was in tip top shape for the summer.

This is an older used car so it will be sold as is, However, The car runs and drives great. A Solid car. There are a few signs of rust and a small ding near the front of the car (see pictures), the T-tops leak if it's hit with high pressure from say a car wash pressure washer , Rain and handwashing does not seem affect it. There are cracks in the paint near the hood scoops, A friend of mine molded them in and it didn't work out so well, I've thought about wrapping it in car vinyl.

I highly encourage you to come see the car if you're interested. It's too hard to describe with words.

This car is a bit of a special car as in it's a Pro-Am. There is not a whole lot of info on these pro-ams but from what i've been able to piece together: Pro-ams were a factory deal with a specific dealer in Ohio and Chattanooga cutsoms (now Choo-Choo Customs) some minor body alterations were done to a formula model firebird, such as, the two tone paint job, The spoiler, The nose is of the newer 90s Model and there is faux woodwork in the interior. There may be a few other alterations that i'm not aware of. My buddy swears there is a shift kit in it but I don't believe they did anything mechanical.  

My reasons for listing this are pretty simple.. My wife and I are moving to a college town soon where we'll be finishing up our education and start a family. As such taking along a 3rd car that gets used in the summer only is going to be a hassle. Right now I keep it parked next door in the American Legion parking lot and store it either at the inlaws or one of my parents in the winter. This car has been a lot of fun and I will miss it very much, but the time has come to let her go.

Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek

Thu, Jul 9 2015

The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  Normally when we post about Omaze, it is about some kind of incredible car sweepstakes. Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO.  Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD  Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000  Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.
