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.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."
