Calaway Firebird on 2040-cars
Ventura, California, United States
|
This is the ONLY Pontiac Firebird that Callaway Cars put the entire C8 Supernatural package on (approximately 55 Supernatural Camaros were built). Shipped directly from GM to Old Lyme, it was built at the Callaway plant. The car was featured, by Callaway, in a promotional article in August 1997 Sports Car International magazine. It includes the Supernatural 400/383 cu in engine sporting a forged steel crank, CNC machined heads with matched combustion chambers and Callaway cam; 1.5” lowered suspension upgrade with stronger trailing arms, Eibach springs, stiffer anti roll bars and Koni shocks; Callaway/Brembo brakes with 4 piston calipers and 13” cross-drilled rotors; Supernatural Tri-Y ceramic coated headers; Honker air intake system and Bridgestone 275/40ZR17 tires. It was painted by Callaway Cars in Glazurit paint to the original Pontiac Aqua color. Originally delivered, new, in March 1995, it was returned to Callaway Cars for the 435hp upgrade in January 1997. The car is original, in excellent condition with all original documentation, including engine dyno sheets and shipping papers. This car is known and remembered by Callaway Cars today. I am the original owner. Car drives beautiful, well balanced. Engine smooth and strong. There is some drivetrain vibration due to installation of 3.70 posi-traction differential gears. I never worked out the vibrations. Also, ABS is inop. The car was ordered with every option including T-Tops, 10 speaker Radio/CD sound system, cruise control, 6 speed Borg Warner manual transmission, steering wheel accessory controls and leather interior. All accessories work and A/C is cold. Never driven in rain. Always a Southern California car. No expense spared on maintenance. Original mileage 66,140. |

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.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
