1987 Pointiac Fiero With Supercharged 3.8 V6. on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
I bought this car about 5 years ago, but had trouble navigating the California Air Resource Boards requirements to register vehicles that have had motor swaps, so it has sat in my garage awaiting the day I move out of California or the emission laws change out here. Neither has happened, and now that I've been accepted to grad school out here, I've come to grips with the fact that I have to let go of this car. I'll try to list everything that it still needs below. Despite what's probably going to be a long list, it really is a great car. I drove it around for a few months on the temporary tags, and it really is a blast. I'm sure whoever gets this car is going to have a great time with it. My loss is your gain. Shipping: You have to work out shipping. I will be super accommodating about dates and times, but you have to pick the car up before Aug 1st. Condition: Motor: The car has been extensively modified by the previous owner in order to accommodate the engine-swap. The motor is a 3800 SC from a Buick Regal GS using WCF mounts and the WCF steel flywheel. The swap is common and well-documented on the internet. The motor runs hot and I noticed the previous owner had installed an overdrive pulley on the supercharger. You will likely want to swap it out for the original (included in sale), or run the proper tune for the overdrive pulley. I don't know the actual mileage for the motor or the drivetrain. Exterior: The car was re-sprayed and the paint looks pretty decent from a distance, but there are issues. (See photos.) There is a very large chip on the front nose, probably where the previous owner had used a leather bra. There is a crack on the driver fender where the original paint underneath is exposed. The panels on the car are plastic, though, so rust is not a concern. There are also some white marks where the inconsiderate jerks who share my garage have hit it with their door. Those should buff out. Interior: The entire interior was entirely missing when I purchased the car. The skin on the driver-side door is from a fiero with manual locks so there is a weird hole where the door locks would go and the center console (aka the rear glove compartment) is missing entirely. I recently recovered the headboard and there were never were any sun-visors. Also there is a plastic part called the "spider" that the radio mounts to which has cracked. This can be sourced from a pick-and-pull or purchased from the fiero store. The radio in the picture will ship with the car. Once you replace the spider, you can re-mount the front center console which is all included. There is a small part of the seat which is worn/torn in the spot typical for Fieros from getting in/out. It should be apparent in the pictures. Drivetrain: The car has pretty much sat for five years. You should expect to want to change the tires, replace the battery, and drain and replace the fluids. I did put some gas-tender in the tank, but I don't know how long that stuff lasts for. The last time I started the car was about a year ago when I moved to this apartment complex and I drove it onto the flatbed and into the garage. (The car has been garages the entire time I've owned it.). I probably should mention that when I first got the car, I had to do a pressurized bleed on the clutch master in order to shift properly. Once I bled the system, though I drove it around for a few months with zero problems. I'm going to include a bunch of miscellaneous parts with the car. The previous owner supplied all the air conditioning parts that are needed if you want to install that. I've also bought the custom drilled rotors and (used) corvette brakes for the "big-brake upgrade", which I didn't start. All that will be included with the sale. If there are any questions, please ask. Also, please remember I need you to pick it up by Aug 1. Thanks. |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
Junkyard Gem: 2009 Pontiac G3
Sun, Mar 28 2021Things weren't looking so rosy for Pontiac Division in late 2008, as The General had troubles of its own that culminated in Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June of 2009. Meanwhile, the Solstice and G8 had failed to revive Pontiac's youthful "excitement" image. Naturally, this seemed like the ideal time to put Pontiac badges and a new grille on the Chevrolet Aveo (itself a rebadged Daewoo Kalos) and call it the G3 (in the United States) or the G3 Wave (in Canada). Sales were not brisk, to put it mildly, and the 2009-only G3 has become one of the rarest modern Pontiacs in the junkyard world. The announcement of Pontiac's demise came in the spring of 2009, with the very last Pontiac-badged vehicle built being either a G3 or a Vibe (since those cars were really Daewoos and Toyotas, respectively, the true final Pontiac was the 2010 G6). The Aveo itself disappeared after the 2011 model year, replaced by an updated Kalos design known here as the Chevrolet Sonic. As a result of the GM bankruptcy, termination of the Pontiac brand, a nasty worldwide recession, and the preference of American vehicle shoppers for trucks or at least truck-shaped cars, few knew the G3 existed and fewer still thought to buy one. This is only the second G3 I've managed to find in a car graveyard, and I've been searching diligently. So, it's a Junkyard Gem in the historical sense, not in the sense of being the kind of car you'd want to take to your 20th high school reunion. That said, it has power windows, air conditioning, and a CD player— pretty nice stuff for a dirt-cheap econobox from a decade back. And look! An AUX jack for your iPod or early-model smartphone. I drove dozens of cheap rental cars for my job with the 24 Hours of Lemons Traveling Circus during the late 2000s, and very few had this feature; until about 2013 or so, you had to travel with your own CDs or one of those horrible wireless FM modulators if you wanted to listen to anything other than the radio in a non-high-roller rental car. Under the hood, a 106-horse Daewoo Ecotec displacing 1.6 liters. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. If there were any television commercials for the G3, I guarantee that they weren't as fun as this one— set in the California high desert, of course— for the SKDM Kalos.
Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500
Thu, Jun 20 2019Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.
