* Brakes: Hybrid 13” front & rear Viper discs/Porsche Brembo calipers with Porsche pads; stainless steel brake lines and S10 master cylinder.

 

* Power Steering: 2000 Camaro SS power steering; Momo steering wheel; rebuilt steering column and turn signal, etc.

* Cooling/Air Conditioning System: Champion 3 core radiator (runs cool on hottest Arizona days); heater core replaced; air conditioning converted to R-134C and works well.

 

Exterior:

 

* Paint: The basecoat Metallic Blue paint is original, except the front fascia and hood have been repainted; old clear coat was sanded off and silver racing stripes were painted before a new clear coat was applied; paint is better than new. 

 

* No Rust: The car has no rust; it spent its life in Idaho, California, and Arizona, mostly in garages.

 

Interior:

 

* Seats, Doors, Visors & Trim: Mr. Mike’s GT Style leather seats and visors installed in 2006.

* Gauges, Controls, Buttons, Etc:  All work perfectly.

 

* Trunk: Replaced front hood weather seal and rear trunk gasket; original trunk carpet.

 

* Karr Alarm: Starter interlock; door locks; trunk release.

 

Other Info:

 

* The car starts quickly and runs great; it is very quick and it sounds great!  We were building the car to run in the 12’s but, I do not know if we made it.

 

* The car has had two previous adult owners before me and was only driven in the summer in Idaho before I brought it to Southern CA in 2004 with 84,000 miles on it.  The car has 98,000 Miles on the odometer today, but as almost everything that rotates or wears has been replaced since 2008 and except for the engine which had 32,000 miles on it when I bought it and has no more than about 8,000 miles of use since being partially rebuilt; hence, the car has many fewer effective miles on it.

 

* The car has a sun roof and original sun roof cover and case, power windows, tilt wheel, and power door locks, power mirrors.  The interior is in excellent condition.  The windshield was replaced a few years ago.

 

* Every bulb in the car has been replaced; headlights are Sylvania Silverstar; all lights work; headlight actuators were rebuilt and work like new.

 

* The car has no spare tire as the 18” wheels and tires will not fit in the Fiero spare tire space or the trunk if you had a flat…AAA and two cans of fix-a- flat is my solution as I have never had a flat in 56 years of driving.

 

* The car is smoke, pet, and accident free.

 

* Since I have owned the car the only times it has gotten wet is when it was being washed.

 

Third Party Inspection:

 

We do not have any of the usual third party inspection companies in the Prescott, AZ area, but I have had it evaluated by Jim Wing of Autotech Appraisals, (928) 541-7623.  His relevant business is a stated value (for insurance) appraisal service and he also appraises cars for buyers and sellers at auctions such as Barrett - Jackson.  The last picture on this page contains his report and he will discuss his opinions about the car with you, if you call him.  His appraised value for the car is $22,000. 

 

If you want inspect the car, personally, or have the car inspected by a third party at my location, I will be pleased to cooperate with such inspection.

 

Minor Problem: The only physical problem noted by the appraiser was a cracked left rear sail panel which is shown in the last photo on this page.  Otherwise, his opinion of the car’s glass was Good.  Replacement sail panels are readily available here on eBay and elsewhere.

 

Title:

 

* The Car’s Title is Clear.

 

* The CarFax report shows that the car had a California DMV Junk Title issued in 2009, but there is no report of accidents, total loss, or structural damage, or water damage in that same report because the car has never been damaged in any way. 

 

* The Junk Title was actually issued as part of the original plan to use the car as a kit car donor under the provisions of California’s Senate Bill 100 (SB100) Specially Constructed Vehicle program which provides a very complex regime for granting permission for the construction of 500 Specially Constructed Vehicles (mostly kit cars) per year.  One of the provisions of this program is that if a car is part of the kit car, even if the car is in perfect condition, the car must be treated as a dismantled vehicle and be issued a Junk Title as it will no longer be the vehicle it was and will be reconstructed as a vehicle which in no way resembles the car it was. 

 

* California Vehicle Code Section 580 Specially Constructed Vehicle states, “A specially constructed vehicle" is a vehicle which is built for private use, not for resale, and is not constructed by a licensed manufacturer or remanufacturer.  A specially constructed vehicle may be built from (1) a kit; (2) new or used, or a combination of new and used, parts; or (3) a vehicle reported for dismantling, as required by which, when reconstructed, does not resemble the original make of the vehicle dismantled.  A specially constructed vehicle is not a vehicle which has been repaired or restored to its original design by replacing parts.”

 

* After, completing the first administrative part of this process which started on January 2, 2008, I decided life was too short and the cost too high to build a kit car and I would simply go for an engine swap, but the DMV would not remove the Junk Title. 

 

* The engine swap was completed in August 2009, and the CA DMV issued a Rebuilt Title. 

 

* In 2010, I moved the car to Arizona and the AZ Motor Vehicle Department issued another Rebuilt Title even though the car has never been damaged in any way. 

 

California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) Approved Engine Swap:

 

The car had a California Bureau of Auto Repair (BAR) approved engine swap completed in 2009 (BAR Vehicle Information Label is attached to the doorframe).  At that time, the car passed California smog testing as shown on the CarFax report.  I later moved to rural AZ where we have no smog testing.  The California engine swap approval may still be valid, but I do not know if it is.  If you are a California buyer you need to do your own due diligence in this matter.  I see no reason that that the car will not pass any state’s smog regulations, but I do not state or represent that it will.

 

Why Am I Selling the Car?

 

This has been a very long project and labor of love and I have about $32,000 invested in it, but I am about to turn 70 years old and I have too many cars.

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe

Sat, Jun 11 2022

General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

Sat, Jun 19 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
