White Paint With Appropriate Blue Trans-Am Racing Stripes, Trim And Badging. Fit and Finish are Good on All Sheetmetal, Panels, Hood, and Trunk Lid.  Doors and Trunk Swing, Close and Lock Well. Windows Roll Down and Fit Well Against Weather Stripping without Leaks. Turn Signals, Side Markers / Headlights / Tail Lights / High Beams and Door Buzzer all Work - Dome Light Does Not. 

Correct Trans Am Fender Louvers / 3-Piece Trans Am Rear Wing / Front Spoiler

~3 Year Old Paint With Clear Coat. There Are Imperfections That Could Be Addressed With Wet-Sanding For A Smoother Shine. 

Interior Has a Newer Headliner and There are No Cracks In the Dash. Upholstery Is Correct Blue Vinyl On Original-Condition Spring Bucket Seats. Tortoise Shell Center Console With T-Shifter. Carpet Has Been Replaced and is Black (Blue Would Be Correct). Not Equipped with Air Conditioning

When I Bought this Car, It Was Nice. I've Spent Time and Money To Make it Nicer. I Will Include With Sale The Paperwork Which Shows The Improvements I've Paid For - Parts And Service By Only The Most Qualified Local Specialists, Which Total Thousands and Thousands $$ - Including But Not Limited To:

New Upper And Lower Radiator Hoses / All  New Freeze Plugs / New Control Arm Bushings / New Lower Ball Joints / New Tie Rod Ends / New Front Shocks / New Rear Leaf Spring Plates / Upgraded Brake Calipers / New Window Felts / New Window Trim / Window Pillar Interior Mouldings / Arm Rest Pad / Windshield Wiper Mechanisms / New Weather Stripping For Windows And Trunk / New Door Interior Widow Mechanisms / New Door Handle Assemblies / New Wiring For Turn Signals, Horn, And Gauges / New Chrome Alternator / New Fuel Pump, Filter And Gas Gauge Sending Unit / New Gauge Cluster: Oil Pressure/Temp/Voltage / New Dual Exhaust – 2 1/2 “ From Stock Exhaust Manifolds With  Chrome Tips / New Turbo Mufflers –Throaty, Street-Friendly Note With Balanced Flow And Backpressure

Temperature Gauge Has Not Gone Over About 190 In The Heat Of Our Florida Summer. In The Cooler Months, It Settles Around 160-170. These Pontiacs Typically Run Hot, But I’ve Not Had That Problem And I Thank The Oversized Radiator.  Oil Pressure Runs 40psi. 

The Car Has Very Little Rust And The Frame Is Very Straight. Frame, Floor Pans, Wheel Wells, Rear Quarters are All Clean. There Is Evidence Of Resin Repair On The Top Of The Right Rear Fender Hip Just Past The Side Window – Just A Slight Crack And Otherwise Unnoticeable And Very Straight.  There Is 1.5” Of Circular Bubbling On The Passenger Doorskin Near The Bottom Of The Door Under The Handle. 

Chrome Is Complete And All Shines Well. The Rear Bumper Is Immaculate And Has Clearly Been Replaced With A Very Nice Reproduction. The Front Nose Chrome Has A Little Pitting As Is Typical Of A 45 Year-Old Original. I’ve Done The Best I Can With Chrome Polish.

The Rally Wheels Are In Beautiful Condition With No Apparent Scratches Or Dents And Trim Rings Are All Present And Gleaming.

Michelin LT4 Tires Have Plenty Of Tread And Hold Air & A Great Shine.

Battery was Relocated To The Trunk To Accommodate Its Size Along with the Newer Radiator And Give The Engine Compartment A Cleaner Look. 

Holley HP Mechanical Fuel Pump Was Installed To Replace The Original To Provide Adequate Fuel Pressure With Regulator, Mounted Discretely On Inner Fender Well And Set At 6-PSI (Stock Fuel  Pumps Are Notoriously Under-Powered).  It Feeds a 4bbl Rochester Quadrajet Which Is Missing Choke Mechanism – This Only Affects Cold Starts, Not Drivability. 

I Will Continue To Be Candid About The Car’s Condition As Best I Can. I Will Make No Claims About The Car’s Overall Condition Or What Is Definitely Missing Or how it May Vary From Stock Assembly. But As Far As I Can Tell, Car Is Missing The Following (Some of Which I have and Will Include With Sale at No Extra Charge, as Noted):

Radio & Speakers– The Electrician Who Completed The Other Electrical Work On The Car Says That There Is Power Supplying The Radio, But The Radio Is Not Hooked Up To Speakers. I Did Not Buy This Car To Listen To The Radio And The Stock-Looking Radio Remains In The Dash.  The Rear Package Tray Cover Is New And Complete, But Unadulterated. There Are Speaker Ports Underneath If You’d Like To Add Speakers.

Seatbelts & Headrests: The Stock Shoulder Straps Remain And Are Clipped In The Stock Location. I Have Two Seatbelts That Came With The Car, Un-Mounted. You May Choose To Install Them. It Was My Plan To Install 3-Point Retractable Seatbelts.

I Have 2 Headrests That Would Need To Be Painted To Match. These Come With The Car, But I Think It Looks Better Without.

Speedometer Cable: My Mechanic Says One Just Needs To Be Ordered And Installed And That All The Workings At Transmission And Speedometer Are Present And Intact. 

Trans-Am Exhaust Tips: I Removed The Trans Am Dual Chrome Tips Because I Prefer The Car Without. They Will Come With The Car So You Can Install Them If You’d Like.

I Am Not A Frequent Buyer Or Seller On Ebay, As You May Observe. I Am Not A Frequent Buyer Or Seller Of Anything. I Bought This Car On Ebay And Am Selling It On Ebay Because Of Its Vast Exposure And Huge Marketplace. This Is Not The Kind Of Car I Expected To Happen Upon Locally And I Expect There Are People All Over The Country Who May Be Interested.

This Car Is Not A Show-Winner, But Is A “Show-Stopper.” It Does Not Just Turn Heads, It Stops Traffic. I Cannot Go Anywhere Without Having A Conversation About This Car. I've Been Hailed-Down, Called-Out And One Gentleman Even Put His Life In My Hands By Walking Out In The Middle Of The Street In Front Of The Car To Stop Me And Talk About It.  Everyone Has a Camaro - Be Unique and Get a Firebird. This Trans-Am Look will Set You Apart and Put You Above The Rest at Local Cruise Night!

Since There Were Only 689 Hard Tops And 8 Convertible Trans Ams Made In 1969, This Car Is Just Not Seen On The Road And People Go Bananas Over It. I’m Always Honest About It Being A Clone, But A Lot Of People Think It’s Just Original, Insisting That The Imperfections And Tiny Cracks In The Fiberglass On The Hood Are Characteristic Of Original GTO And Trans Am Models.

I Am Selling This Car Because It’s Just Too Beautiful For Me – Too Much Of A Collector’s Item. I Have Only Ever Had Hot Rods And I Thought I Could Calm Down And Just Have A Sweet Classic Ride, But I Keep It In The Garage, Don’t Drive It In The Rain And Baby It On The Road, Avoiding Brick Roads, Puddles, And People Who Stare Too Hard At It.  This Car Is For Someone Who Wants To Be Looked At And Envied. If You Want Jealous Neighbors &  Friends And You Want To Be Approached And Revered In Every Parking Lot And Gas Station You Visit … This Car Is For You.

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT

Wed, Nov 2 2022

If you like affordable, mid-engined two-seaters, the 1980s were your decade. Fiat (and, a bit later, Bertone) offered the X1/9, Toyota sold MR2s, and even General Motors got into the act by creating the Fiero. Available from the 1984 through 1988 model years, the Pontiac Fiero showed plenty of promise but ended up being mostly disappointing, in some ways echoing the career of the Chevy Corvair of a couple of decades earlier. Today's Junkyard Gem is a once-spiffy 1986 Fiero GT, found in a self-service yard near Denver, Colorado. After a long and painful development period stretching all the way back to John DeLorean's XP-833 Banshee (which ended up being a major influence behind the original Opel GT), the Fiero finally debuted in 1983 as a 1984 model. The top-of-the-model-range GT appeared the following year. The Fiero was built as a notchback coupe and as a fastback, with all the GTs being the latter type. I couldn't get the engine lid open, but this car would have left the assembly line (in Pontiac, Michigan) with a 2.8-liter V6 rated at 140 horsepower. This car has a five-speed manual transmission, making it a credible rival for Toyota's MR2.  The 1986 MR2 was less powerful than the Fiero GT (112 horsepower versus 140), but also scaled in significantly lighter (2,459 pounds against the Pontiac's 2,780 pounds). The MR2 also cost less, priced at $11,298 while the Fiero GT cost $12,875 (that's about $30,540 and $34,805, respectively, in inflation-adjusted 2022 dollars). Meanwhile, the $6,998 Honda Civic CRX two-seater lured away many potential Fiero buyers despite being a front-engined/front-wheel-drive car, and the $7,186 Ford EXP/Mercury LN7 also put a dent in Fiero sales. I can't find a price for the 1986 Bertone X1/9, but it cost a hard-to-believe $13,990 in 1984. GM still was using five-digit odometers in many vehicles by the middle 1980s, but this Fiero has a six-digit unit and thus we can see that it nearly achieved 150,000 miles during its driving career. The 1984-1987 Fiero suffered from a parts-bin suspension design, with the front suspension borrowed from the Chevrolet Chevette and the entire rear transaxle/suspension assembly lifted from the front end of the Chevrolet Citation. For the 1988 model year, GM finally spent the money to design an improved Fiero-specific suspension … and then promptly put a halt to production.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For 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.
