1984 Pontiac Fiero Like Ferrari 308gtb Mera Stinger Style Kit Car Rust Free Az on 2040-cars
1984 Fiero Kit Kar / Ferrari 308GTB Up for auction: as you'll see in the pics its an unfinished project with endless possibilities for the next owner. Starting life as a nice rust free Fiero, body panels started coming off while new fiberglass pieces started going back on. This kit did come out of Canada, originally we thought it was a Stinger or Mera kit but after doing more research turns out not to be either. Nevertheless its still one of the nicer conversions Ive seen. Have a Ferrari 308 style car at a fraction of the price with our super low reserve. Make it even better with possibly a better more reliable and better power plant in the back. V8 conversions on these cars now a days are much more simple and less costly too. Car comes with a box or OE Parts taken off and another box of fiberglass parts yet to be installed. DRIVETRAIN: The motor is a stock Fiero 2.4L 4 cyl matted to the stock 4 spd. It ran when parked but when I tried to crank it over recently, theres no power getting to the starter so could need an ignition switch or possibly just a wire off or cut somewhere. Motor spins over by hand. No promises on its condition. The exhaust was already done to mimic the Ferrari look. Lots of people put Northstar V8s in these cars and there are plenty of conversion kits on the market to help you with the job. Also, there are lots of donar cars out there now available whether you want to go LT1, LS1 or Caddy aluminum V8 All which are 300+ HP easily. INTERIOR: is showing its age from sitting in the Az sun for many yrs. Mostly complete, but Im sure it will need restoration during the completion of the project. Factory GM large sunroof car too. Door panels are gone, this was a factory AC car making it nicer for the build. SUSPENSION: All stock Fiero components, last owner had cut the stock springs for a small drop. The rims are a focal point, they are custom 15" Cheviot rims made in Australia, and have a nice Ferrari OE look to them. Tires are old BFGs. BODY: Fiberglass Ferrari body kit has been partially installed onto what looks to have been a great original Fiero body with no signs of accidents or rust ever. The project was started back in the 80s and left unfinished sometime in the 90s where it sat here in Az. You can see on the back hatch area where someone damaged the hatch area trying to open it. Ferrari style door handles already installed and work well. EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE THE PICS BELOW SPEAK VOLUMES but Im sure I may of overlooked some stuff. Check out over 125 pics below, be patient it may take a minute or 2 for them to all load. Low reasonable Reserve Bid Early and bid smart so you dont lose out !!

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe
Sun, Apr 9 2023In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
