Hello! Don't let the miles fool you! This is an excellent car and does not drive anything like a 200K mile car! I see many Firebirds/trans ams that have really low miles and all that tells me is that they have not lived and brought much enjoyment to their drivers!! This car, even though it has 200K miles, is about 15 years old, so the miles average out to be just right. I am the 3rd owner, the first sold it around 100K, the second sold it at 200K. I have had it for over a year and have put around 7K. It was garaged it's whole life and looked amazing when I bought it. I do not have a garage fit for it, so my cats climb all over it, the trees pollinate on it, and the birds poop on it. I absolutely hate to see such a fine classic automobile getting trashed like that. So I am selling it. Also, my teenage daughter is fixing to start learning how to drive and she IS NOT learning on this car! This car runs strong! Sounds great! Good clutch, everything works! Cold AC, hot heater! No dents!! just a few scratches! front tires still showing good enough, but I recommend replacing rear tires soon. There are a few scratches where the idiot cats jumped on it and lost footing and scratched it up. They are all light scratches that can be buffed out, but I cannot spend that money just to have it get messed up right away. There is a crack in each door panel along the top of them. They are almost identical and no idea how they got there. Was like that when I bought it. There are no cracks on the dash, no tears in the seats. CD player works. I believe it is wired for a MP3 player or ipod or something. The previous owner was telling me about it but I am not into my music that much so I was not listening. The Formula has the 305 horsepower 5.7 350 V8 derived from the corvette!! It runs strong and sounds good. There are no modifications done to this car. All stock! There was one upgrade that the previous owner did and that was upgrade the cat converter to the 2001/2002 type that is supposed to be better. I took his word for it since he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. It just recently developed a power steering fluid leak. The power steering pump does not whine so I am assuming it is not the pump itself that is bad. However, I have not had it looked at professionally since it just started. One of the pulleys make a squeaky sound but not too loud. The service engine soon light recently came on and I had Auto Zone plug it up and it suggested an air pump electrical circuit fault, or blocked air system, or failed air pump. The amount of pollen that our trees are pouring out recently may have something to do with this. I decided to sell it and hopefully the new owner will be better able to keep this fine car up to the high standards that it deserves. This car is listed on local craigslist and will be available locally unless a bid is placed. Once a bid is placed here on eBay, I will not sell it locally outright, the sale will only be thru eBay at that point. So if you want this car, please bid early! I will answer all questions as soon as I can. I am not always near my email, but I will check it as often as I can. I will assist your shipping company as best as possible. I suggest USHIP.COM. please pay within 3 days of end of auction. Thank you! |

Florida man runs down bikers in traffic
Tue, May 31 2016A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction
Sat, Apr 4 2020Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction. As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country. In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer. The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
