1998 Pontiac Firebird Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, United States
|
This is a 1998 Pontiac Firebird with a 3.8 liter V6 and 5-speed manual transmission. This is the very popular GM engine referred to as the "IRON DUKE". It's a 231 cubic inch V6 that is synonymous with reliability and longevity. It gets the fuel economy of a 6 cylinder, (26 mpg) and the performance of a small V8 (260 HP). The car handles well and is lots of fun to drive. All repairs done to this car since I've owned it were performed by a GM certified mechanic with GM parts. This includes new clutch and pressure plate, new oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets,and water pump. The tires are P245/50-16 Mastercraft Avengers with the V-groove performance tread pattern and are like brand new with less than 5,000 miles. The hood is a true Pontiac Ram-Air hood from a WS-6 Trans AM as well as the rear deck lid/spoiler. these parts were professionally painted by a high reputed shop and the color match and clear-coat is a perfect match to the rest of the car. The overall condition of the body is very good with minor scuffs, scratches, and a couple small dings that are normal occurrence with a car that is 15 years old. The car has no rust and no paint peeling, chipping or cracking. It is kept garaged and covered when not driven. The interior is also very good condition. No cracks in dash, door panels, or any other plastic/vinyl parts. Seats and carpet are very nice and free of rips, tears, and burn holes. This car is not smoked in and shows minimal wear inside and out. All glass is free of cracks/chips and was professionally tinted with a lifetime warranty on window tint (not sure if the warranty transfers to a consecutive owner). The car does not have any leaks- oil drips, water leaks, and no smoke from exhaust. The battery is almost new and the car starts readily in any weather. The power windows/locks all work as well as the power trunk release. The stereo is the original Pontiac up-scale "Monsoon" with the CD player, AM/FM stereo tuner and graphic equalizer. The CD player will occasionally have trouble reading a disc. I was told the lens probably needs cleaning. The power antenna still works well up and down when you turn on the radio. The door latches work properly inside and out. The headlights are the retractable type and function perfectly up and down. The AC is currently not working. I had it charged with refrigerant and it blew cold air for a couple of days, so I know it works fine as long as it has enough refrigerant. I was told the compressor has a slow leak through a seal on the housing and it will probably need to be replaced to make it work without any future issues. The tee-tops in this car do not leak, rattle, or squeak. I know this is a problem in some cars. This Firebird is extremely nice and is very well maintained and cared for, but is in storage now more than it is driven, so it is time for someone new to drive it. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at solarbrown10@gmail.com or call me at 573-535-4255.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
