1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula 3.4 Fastback on 2040-cars
Gadsden, Alabama, United States
I'm selling my 88 pontiac fiero formula.
This car is a one of a kind. It has a 3.4 swapped into it (by the previous owner mileage unknown), it has been converted to a fastback, The interior was redone in black and has black leatherette custom upholstered seat covers. Starting from front to back. The headlight motors have been rebuilt, two front ball joints have been replaced, it has lowering springs and new shocks along with new poly bushings, the wheels are 18X8 in the front and 18X9 in the rear(235's on front and 265's on rear), the car has been repainted and all molding is there and held on with clips from the fiero store the interior was redone in black and power locks and windows were installed(this is one of the only formulas in the world with power locks and windows), the seats were recovered along with the headliner The clutch slave cylinder was rebuilt with rodney dickens kit, the shifter cables were replaced with rodney dickens cables(top of the line), the banjo bolt was replaced with rodney's adjustable banjo. The rear rotors and pads were put on this year and the front are from a c4 corvette I believe(installed by previous owner),Custom height adjustable coil overs were built for the rear and the bushings were replaced with poly. I also have camber adjustment bolts not installed if you want me to throw those in It has a refurb edu from the fierostore, I had the AC fixed this summer but the compressor went bad(from NAPA) its still under warranty and they will pay to have it replaced if you send it in based on what customer service told me. Heat works great and all the gauges (minus the tach) are completely functional and accurate(even the fuel gauge) The 3rd gear syncro is bad but it still shifts into third just resists some at higher rpm's, the radiator fan relay is out but those can be had at an auto parts store cheap and the fan will run if you have the a/c switched on. I am selling this car because I decided to go back to school and don't have the time or money I need to do everything I dreamed of doing to it. My commute is 150 miles a day and this is what I've been commuting with so I have no doubts about its reliability and you would be more than able to drive it back home(I drove it to Louisiana and back about 3 weeks ago which is a 1200 mile round trip. If you have any questions feel free to ask I will try to post more pictures soon.(of the interior and such) I also have new formula door stickers and quarter windows that will go with the car |

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird
Sat, May 9 2020From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

Junkyard Gem: 1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE Coupe
Thu, Jun 22 2023The Grand Am was the best-selling Pontiac model in the United States for every year of the 1990s, and it outsold most of its N-Body platform-mates (including the Chevrolet Corsica/Beretta) during nearly all of that decade. A sporty-looking compact with two or four doors, the Grand Am offered true 1990s radness—and, in some cases, respectable performance — at a good price. Today's Junkyard Gem is a nicely preserved example of the facelifted 1996 Grand Am, found in a Denver-area car graveyard. This is an SE Coupe with base engine and transmission, the most affordable Grand Am available in 1996. List price was $13,499, or about $26,523 in 2023 dollars. The factory-issued Monroney sheet for this car was still inside, so we can see that the original buyer got the car at Bob Ruwart Motors in Wheatland, Wyoming (about 175 miles up I-25 from this Pontiac's final parking spot), and paid a total of $16,054 ($31,543 in today's money) after the cost of options and the destination charge. The '96 Grand AM SE buyer had to pay extra for cruise control, air conditioning, power windows, rear glass defogger and other features we now take for granted on new cars. The base engine was the 2.4-liter Twin Cam four cylinder, a member of the screaming Oldsmobile Quad 4 family. This one was rated at 150 horsepower and 155 pound-feet. A 3.1-liter V6 with 155 horses and 185 pound-feet was an option. If you got the V6 in your '96 Grand Am, however, you couldn't get a manual transmission. This car has a proper five-speed manual, which made for fun driving with the high-revving Twin Cam engine in a machine weighing just 2,802 pounds (which is quite a bit less than what the current Honda Civic weighs). It traveled just over 160,000 miles during its 27 years on the road. The body and interior were still in fairly good condition when the car arrived here, so we can assume that some expensive mechanical problem doomed this car. Perhaps the original clutch wore out and the owner didn't consider it worth replacing. After all, a mid-1990s Detroit two-door with a transmission most people can't drive isn't worth much these days. Though nobody knew it when this car was new, the Grand Am would be gone in nine years and Pontiac itself would get the axe five years after that. It makes the ordinary extraordinary. Husbands and wives would argue for 12 hours over who got to drive the Grand Am, if we are to believe this ad. Proud sponsor of the 1996 Olympic team.
