1986 Pontiac Fiero Gt with a 350 V8 Conversion. One bid buys it.
The conversion was completed by the person I purchased the vehicle from. He used the kit from V8 archie. I have owned the car for 5 years. I was told the engine was a rebuilt 350 from a 1990 Camaro. He also added a shift kit to the transmission. There is nothing custom to the engine accept for a K&N air filter. He also replaced the rubber bushings with poly bushings and added a sway bar. The A/C and cruise were both removed for the install and never put back in. I have a box of parts that go with the car and might contain the parts needed to install the A/C and cruise control.
Since I have owned the car I have had the injectors replaced with larger injectors, the transmission lines were replaced, the radiator was replaced, added a Rodney Dickman trunk support, and replaced the TPS sensor. The doors rattled over bumps so I replaced the door strikers and that solved the problem. I had the tachometer calibrated for the V8
The lights go up and down no problem, all the gauges work, the sunroof doesn't leak and the headliner doesn't sag. The seats are in great shape accept for a coffee stain on the passenger side. The dash is not cracked and the carpet looks new. The power windows work but go up and down slow. The power locks work but sometimes it takes a couple of tries.
The paint is original and looks ok but it could use a respray or color change. There are a couple of chips on the hood from when I was putting it back on after removing the radiator. Recently the car began surging and running rich when started but comes out of it after a few minutes. I am not getting an engine code but do not have the time to chase the problem.
I am selling the car because I am a new Dad and just don't have the time or money to enjoy the car. I have put about 100 miles on it in the last two years. It is time to let someone else enjoy it. I do not have the title but I will get a new one if the winning bidder requires it. Also, Maine doesn't have emission control requirements so I couldn't say if it would pass or not. The car is inspected, insured and drives if you are close enough to come look at it.
I have tried to explain the car as best as I can. As with any car that is 30 years old there may have been things I have missed so ask questions and I will answer them. I can also get additional pictures and video of the car running if you like.

Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo
Tue, Jan 10 2017The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
