1985 Pontiac Fiero Gt V6 4 Speed Low Miles Loaded on 2040-cars
Palmyra, Virginia, United States
|
1985 Pontiac Fiero GT - loaded Street Survivor for sale I bought this car last fall, and have enjoyed it
tremendously (I had a Red/tan 2M4 in college but always wanted a GT). Draws a crowd, and the kids love it. Fantastic way to drive to work at low cost
- and a lot of fun! It has 49,900 miles ( I bought it with just over 40K). Completely loaded: ·
2.8L V6 Engine ·
4 Speed Manual Transmission (seriously who wants
an auto?) ·
A/C (with brand new compressor) ·
Tilt, cruise (works perfectly), intermittent
wipers ·
Power door windows and locks, mirrors, headlamp
doors - all work properly ·
Firebird CD stereo has replaced the old cassette
deck and has EQ and iPod input!!!! VERY RARE!!!! Same Pontiac orange backlighting - seamless
OEM look. CD and iPod in a Fiero without ruining vintage look! ·
New Pioneer 4x10 speakers, plus stock in
headrest. Killer sound. ·
Rare cassette storage option ·
New moonroof and door window gaskets ·
Replaced heater core, washer motor, brakes (new
slotted and drilled rotors, new low dust pads, rebuilt master cylinder, one
worn caliper rebuilt) ·
OEM wheels and tires for the purists (more than
60% tread) ·
The best steering wheel, the padded GT 3 spoke I bought it for $5000, and have put about $1500 of parts into
it. So my BIN is a very reasonable $5950
and the reserve is set at $5600. Will
not accept lowball offers. I will just
continue to enjoy the ride :) if I can't get a reasonable price. The very good ·
Non smoker interior is nearly mint ·
Great stereo set up with stock look ·
Super low miles ·
A lot of needed repairs done for you already ·
Everything works - even the headlamp motors
which is a common issue ·
A fill up is 8 gallons (holds 10) and will take
you 225 miles, which is 28 MPG. ·
I get over 25 even combined in town, with sports
car performance. ·
In VA, I have often filled up for a weeks worth
of driving for just over $20. Not many
$6000 cars YOU WANT TO DRIVE can do that. The not so good ·
The plastic panels have excellent paint, but the
steel engine lid paint is beginning to look tired, with some oxidizing and
orange peel. I plan to repaint if I keep
it over the winter. Lower aero panels
have some rubbed areas (damaged before me but not noticeable except up
close) that could be redone as well. ·
The hydraulic clutch is getting a little
tired. If you hold the clutch in a long
time (like at a long stop light) you notice it begin to engage. Not a problem in normal driving but a rebuilt
clutch master and slave (about $80 each plus time) would do the trick. I just don't leave the clutch down for more
than about 15 seconds and no problems.... ·
The headliner is looking tough, ditto on my
desire to replace over winter. I may
have it done before sale.....but no promises. ·
Two areas of interior dash paint could use a
touch up (base brown beginning to show over the light brown paint. This is a two tone piece that is intended to
have the base brown in some areas that are accented by areas painted by light -
easy touch up with correct paint). Great value at a great price. Selling to buy a tractor (I know I know - should probably keep her but Mrs says she's gotta go first!) $200 deposit required within 48 hours - non-refundable. Come drive it and if you don't want it that is all it will cost you to walk away, with positive feedback. Balance due in 7 days or at delivery whichever comes first. IF not picked up in 7 days it will be relisted and resold, but if you need time to pick it up that can be arranged with full payment. Call 434 five nine won for five three wun ask for Gene with questions. |

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
Sat, Mar 4 2023A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
