 Don't let the miles fool you. A lot of work has been done to this car over the past 2 years and it is mechanically all new. I have all receipts. Also it has been upgraded and is fairly quick while still getting better gas mileage than stock. (19 city/31 highway mpg on current tune)
A/C blows cold, heat blows hot. Stereo works. Power seat and seat heater work.

Haven't dyno'd but GTP's with similar mods make ~330rwhp/400rwtq @ 13-14 psi with 93 octane

I really encourage you to arrange a test drive with me if you are able and are serious about the car.  Driving it as an everyday car has been almost as fun for me as my 2001 Camaro that has 600 horsepower due to the awesome amount of torque these cars make.


 Mods: (10k miles or less on all)
CAI
Stainless headers with extra resonator on 3" downpipe
Dynomax super turbo 2.5" cat-back exhaust (very quiet and mild with the extra resonator, near stock)
75mm throttle and 85mm MAF
Gen V supercharger off 2004-2007 grand prix
Full size W-Body Store intercooler kit
Intense S1x cam kit with 105# Crow springs, GM timing chain and tensioner
LS7 lifters
8 rib supercharger drive conversion
Modular pulleys 3.2/3.0/2.8 (12/14/16 psi peak) (2.8 would require 100+octane)
New fuel pump and rewired with larger gauge wiring
Autolite 103 plugs gapped @ .030"
Built transmission: 4340 input shaft, 7/8" single chain upgrade with 3.29 gear, hardened 4th gear shaft
W-Body Store Stage 2 axles

Autometer Sport Comp boost gauge (20 psi)

Innovate MTX digital/sweep wideband o2 gauge
Aeroforce Scangauge
Hawk HPS brake pads and new GM rotors on all four corners

W-Body Store 8 piece poly engine/trans mount kit


Parts replaced in the last 10k miles along with the mods:
All gaskets/seals on engine minus head gaskets
GM wheel hubs
GM water pump and steering pump
Outer tie rods
All four window motors


Will include a set of extra wheels with beadlocked and tubed Hoosier 26x9.5" drag slicks mounted on them if the auction goes over $4,250. (only 4 passes on them)

Literally the only issues with the car are cosmetic. (The front bumper cover is cracked from previous owner, the clear coat on the hood is gone, and the driver's seat has a small tear in the stitching at the bottom.) Although the car may also need tires to pass inspection.

Also to clarify. Since this car does not have an EGR valve or Catalytic converter it will not pass visual emissions inspection in NC but will pass the computer portion.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

Michigan floods from breached dams consume Pontiac Fiero collection

Thu, May 21 2020

“WeÂ’ve never had an event like this,” Michigan's city manager Brad Kaye said in a Detroit News story. "What we're looking at is an event that is the equivalent of a 500-year flood." Kaye is referencing the catastrophic flood that occurred in central Michigan this week after heavy rainfall was compounded by two breached dams on the Tittabawassee River. Reports say the flooding forced evacuation of up to 10,000 residents, swallowed entire towns, and destroyed thousands of properties. No casualties have been reported, according to the Detroit Free Press, but car enthusiasts will be sad to learn a Pontiac Fiero shop and collection called Forever Fieros was decimated by the natural disaster. The Tittabawassee River is located about two hours, or roughly 140 miles, north of Detroit. It starts 20-30 miles further north and flows southeast as a tributary to the Saginaw Bay Watershed. Along the way, the Tittabawassee is held up by several dams, including the Edenville dam that failed and the Sanford dam that was breached during torrential downpours. According to NPR, the federal government took away the Edenville dam's license in 2018 and suggested it could not last through a major flood. Unfortunately, that prediction was proven accurate.  Forever Fieros is located in Sanford, Michigan, which is just below Sanford Lake, which is created by the Sanford dam. So when the Edenville dam north of Sanford broke, water from Wixom Lake flooded Sanford Lake, and a berm next to the Sanford dam was overwhelmed, according to MLive. Technically the dam did not fail, but the end result was the same: an entire town underwater. The Tittabawassee reportedly crested at 35 feet, or 10 feet above flood level and 1.1 feet higher than the previous record set in 1986. According to The Drive, the man in charge of Forever Fieros, Tim Evans, had time to attempt to save his vehicles from floodwater. He reportedly moved about 12 cars to a street that doesn't typically flood, but the water level was simply too high for that to matter. A floating pole barn also reportedly struck and damaged the  Forever Fieros building.  Worsening the situation is the fact that Evans was planning to hold an auction to sell many of the Fieros. As seen on Industrial Bid, he planned to sell 12 Fieros, Fiero GTs and a Fiero Formula, ranging from 1984 through 1988. The lots included a 1984 pace car, a Lamborghini Countach kit car, and a Fiero Cosworth Pontiac Super Duty 16-valve DOHC engine.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Sun, Nov 28 2021

John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, the other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.
