For Sale As Is
I don't even Know what to say. I can't believe I am selling this car. I bought it last May from Texas Classic Cars of Dallas. They are a very reputable dealer of classic cars. I am enduring the worst financial hardship of my life right now and am forced to sell it. The car is in wonderful condition. I only put about 500 miles on the car in the time I have owned it and was complimented almost every time I took her out. This car has a beautiful paint job and very, very nice lines. The convertible top is practically brand new and the black leather interior looks new as well. The carpet is top notch as well as the rest of the interior. It looks to have been restored within the last 3yrs I believe. The odometer reads 64902 and spins as it should. The wear on the brake and gas pedals seem to match the mileage but I cannot guarantee that the mileage is original as usual. The lettering and symbols appear to be in like new condition except the bird on the gas tank door. It shows some wear. The engine compartment is very clean and has many upgrades from original factory parts. The carburetor is an edelbrock and there are headers and aftermarket radiator hose and thermostat. The car starts up great and runs beautifully. I know the front floor pans were replaced. It rides on 14 inch factory wheels and looks great like that. The tires are in excellent shape and look to be quite new. I have many factory parts that were replace by aftermarket upgrades that I am including with the car. A very vintage car at a low start price with a low reserve. If you want a gorgeous classic car to cruise for the summer, now is your chance. The radio is some 1980s p.o.c. cassette player that doesn't work but at least the owner that put it in did not cut up the dash to install it so you can still put in the factory original parts if you get them. I had big plans for this car to be with me for a long time but my current financial outlook causes me to sell. If you have any questions please ask

The only mechanical issue I have had with this car is very minor. It starts and runs great but I think the solenoid in the starter is either going bad or the magnets in the starter get hot and lock up. When the car runs for a while and gets hot, the starter doesn't want to fire so I get a blank start. No noise or attempt to turn the engine over. It doesn't happen except for when it has already been running for a bit. The first key turn starts her right up and she idles and purrs perfectly. It only happen when it has been running for a while so my mechanical mind tells me that the solenoid in the starter needs replaced but I haven't owned the car long enough since the discovery of the problem to get it remedied. Just being completely honest. It is a very minor problem and can be fixed for less than $500 I would guess. If you know what you are doing you can probably fix it for less than $100. Other than that, it is darn near perfect. I don't know if the numbers match or not. I haven't gone through those hoops but was planning on it. The motor looks to be original but I really don't know a lot about the whole numbers matching check process to enlighten you all on that... Gorgeous car, runs great, sounds great, looks great! Just that one minor issue...

Fiero-based Zimmer Quicksilver was objectively terrible, but we'd totally drive it
Wed, Jan 19 2022Now here's something you don't see everyday. It's listed in our classified ads as a 1986 Pontiac Fiero, but as you can see, that description is a bit misleading. In fact, it's a Zimmer Quicksilver, which was indeed built atop the guts of a mid-engine Fiero coupe but was heavily modified by the Zimmer Motorcars Corporation at a facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. And the one you see here actually seems to be a pretty decent deal for a highly unusual car. We're not sure what was a more popular starting point for kit and custom cars in the 1980s and 1990s, but it would have to be either the Fiero or the vintage air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle. Fiero-based machines usually mimicked the design direction of any number of highly desirable Italian stallions, most commonly, we'd guess, the Lamborghini Countach. The Quicksilver is an altogether different animal, with over a foot of extra wheelbase added in front of the A-pillar to make for a dramatic, long and low silhouette that somehow still only has barely enough room for two passengers in its leather- and wood-lined interior.

A stock 2.8-liter V6 engine from General Motors is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that sends 140 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Period road tests found the 0-60 run took a little over 10 seconds, which is terrible today but wasn't all that bad for the mid '80s. Best we can tell, only around 170 Quicksilvers were made between 1984 and 1988, which are, not coincidentally, the same years that Pontiac produced the Fiero. The 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver you see here is priced at $18,495 and shows well under 30,000 miles on the odometer. There aren't a lot of Zimmer Quicksilvers currently for sale for us to compare, but the ones we did find that had sold within the last few years suggest a little under $20,000 is a reasonable asking price. It could be a fun and offbeat addition to the garage, and if nothing else, you're not likely to see another one at your local car show. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Pontiac Solstice
Wed, Sep 4 2019The debut of the Pontiac Solstice, back in 2005 for the 2006 model year, stirred up much excitement in the automotive world. Sales were brisk at first, and then they weren't so great… and then Pontiac itself went under The General's cost-cutting axe. One thing I have learned during my junkyard travels is that even sought-after sports cars eventually reach a point at which they start showing up in the big self-service junkyards. For example, the BMW Z3 began appearing in such yards about five years ago, along with the Audi TT. While the Honda S2000 still appears to be exempt from this process, today's Junkyard Gem shows that the time has now come for the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky. The first Z3s and TTs I saw in the U-Wrench-type yards were crash victims, not worth fixing, and that's the case with this Solstice. In a few more years, I'll start seeing the occasional Solstice/Sky discarded due to general worn-outness. Someone grabbed all the undented front body parts and the transmission (these items, presumably, being valuable), but no junkyard shoppers have felt like pulling the non-turbo 2.0-liter Ecotec. The interior seems dirty, probably from exposure to the elements while sitting outdoors in this Colorado Springs wrecking yard, but not in bad shape otherwise. Perhaps the car's owner celebrated a return from Iraq with the purchase of a sporty new Pontiac, 13 years ago. These cars have an enthusiastic following, so I wasn't expecting to see a junked one so soon after production ceased. I felt the same way about the Chrysler Crossfire, however, and I found two of those last year. What's next, a 2002-2005 Thunderbird? This content is hosted by a third party.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
