I’m offering for auction my 1981 Pontiac Firebird Formula Turbo, this car is mostly all original with VERY low miles only 26,100 miles (may go up a little due to test drives and showing car). Still wearing its original paint and sporting the original interior, it is in great shape!! This car is very clean no rust that I have found either on top or underneath, in fact the GM part number is still stamped on the muffler. This car runs good only may need the carburetor cleaned a little or it just might need driven more. There are a few door dings that I spoke to a paint less dent repair guy about and can be repaired easily. This is a pretty rare car in 1981 Pontiac made almost 6000 formulas, but only around 667 were Turbo (according to Mecum Auctions). The car is well equipped with power windows, power locks, power trunk release, pulse wipers, power antenna, cloth interior and Turbo Boost indicator lights in the hood scoop and a kind of rare one color no W50 package like most. The PA Classic plates are also transferrable to the new owner if a PA resident . I feel that this car could take a trophy at a car show as a survivor car. I have the original build sheet, owner’s manual and a sales brochure from 1981. I have driven it about 250 miles this year so far without any major concerns. The bad things are few but here goes…. The Turbo lights panel in the hood scoop has a piece missing, I don’t know how that happened but I have the piece that is missing. The lights work properly. The coolant overflow bottle was cracked and leaking. I have that and it goes with the car but new ones are available on ebay for around $50.00. When I bought the car the heater core was leaking. It was not replaced, just bypassed. I would never drive it in the winter anyway so I didn’t need heat. I did replace the radiator with a new 4 row radiator, and also replaced the fan clutch. The car runs at the normal operating temp with no overheating. Other small things are there is a small chip in the windshield you can barely see and a small leak around the back glass(only in heavy rain) but it hasn’t sat outside much during its life. One more thing is the power antenna won’t stop running so I disconnected it. These things are all small things but I would rather be critical about the car before someone buys it. This is a very correct, beautiful, low mileage example of a Pontiac Firebird Formula (they are only all original once in their life). Please email me if you have questions or want a to set up a time to personally inspect the car. A $500.00 non refundable Paypal deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end, with the balance to be paid within one week. Car cannot leave until funds clear. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. The car is also being advertised locally and I reserve the right to end early if sold as a result of local sale. PS the pic of the rear panel under the bumper shows a factory hole... There is no Rust around that hole that is a factory weld mark |

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
