1986 Pontiac Fiero Se on 2040-cars
Spring Arbor, Michigan, United States
|
Selling my 1986 Fiero. I have owned it for about two years, and I have driven it during the spring and summer for most of that time. The car is in pretty good shape, the under body has little to no rust on it. I have not had it on salty roads since I owned it, I cannot vouch for previous owners. I bought this car from a guy in Ohio, and there was some issue with the mileage, where a previous owner did not write it down right on the title when transferring and then it got all screwed up. So honestly I am not entirely sure if the mileage is truly low or not. However the quality and shape of the car leads me to believe that the mileage could be relatively accurate. Also I had intended to do an engine swap so I really did not care if the mileage was accurate, I just wanted a good example of a Fiero fastback to drop a large engine into.
The car is completely stock from when I bought it, still has the Ironduke that it had when I bought it. I had to replace the manifold cover and do some other repairs when I bought the car because it had the classic leaking oil issue that was a major problem with the early Fiero's. The car features an aftermarket CD player. Other than that, it is pretty stock, original speakers, has the headrest speakers as well. The electric mirrors and windows still work. I was having some issues with the mirrors with the center panel piece but replacing it would not be a huge process. The interior is pretty clean, I bought seat covers to give the interior a bit of an updated look, the original seats are actually in really good shape with no holes or tears. The dash has some bowing and a few cracks, mainly from sun exposure over the years. At present the sunroof leaks, but that is because of the very old seal, I replaced the bolts and seal pieces around the screws but I never got around to buying a new seal for the whole thing. The head liner is beginning to come apart as well. The windows have lite scratch marks due to the awful dew wipes, but that can be cleaned up as well. The car will need new tires at some point and probably brake work some time in the near future. The headlight motor or motors will need to be replaced. In regards to the heat and A/C, I think the real issue with the heat is a bad blower motor, simple as that. The A/C though has a cracked pipe in the line that you can see in the engine bay, I enjoy driving with the windows down so it never really bothered me. The gas gauge does not work, it bobs around a bit. I just kept track of mileage and refilled that way, never had any problems. That can certainly be fixed but is a rather involved process I was not willing to pay for. There really is not anything majorly wrong with the engine, it burns a little oil, which is possibly due to bad seals in the engine, but shy of replacing all of them which I am not capable of doing or willing to pay for at this time, or swapping the engine, again cannot afford to do, its really just whatever. I did start the car a couple days ago and she started like a champ even after all this cold. The car has been in the garage since December, and was not outside for the really cold days. I guess thats really all I have to say about this car, feel free to contact me with any questions. I really need to sell this car, I will be moving in a few months, and I do not want to take it with me. |

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek
Thu, Jul 9 2015The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.
