I have up for sale my fantastic 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT with T-tops. It has taken me a couple of weeks to finally put the car up for sale, as I had always wanted an 88 Fiero Gt, but I have to make room for another car. The Fiero is my play car, and I just bought another toy, so this one has to go. Its a rare car, and gets lots of attention. The Fiero has a brand new 3.4 crate engine that was installed by The Fiero Factory here in Alabama. It has 144,000 miles on the body, and an unknown amount on the automatic transmission. The transmission runs and shifts like it is supposed to. The following parts are brand new: New Starter, 2 new tires. The interior is by Mr. Mike's and is leather (Fiero Grey with a midnight center) Fiero logos in silver. The carpet on the doors was replaced with Mr. Mike's midnight Leatherette, as was the panel behind the seats. Sun visors, headliner, and a pair of T-top sunshades in Fiero Grey are also brand new. It has a new bigger brake booster modification, new stainless steel brake lines, and new drilled and slotted rotors. New custom spare tire cover, cupholder, and console door. I have had the upper plenum (intake) powdercoated in red, along with the valve cover, but I have not had time to install them. The originals are still on. New plug wires from Summit Racing still in the box that have not been put on either. New floor mats. Newer cd stereo from a Firebird, along with new power window switches from a Firebird also. Firebird fan relay. A trunk shock to help open and close the trunk. Four new speakers, 2 are Polk-Audio, not sure of what the fronts are. Corvette stainless exhaust tips. I'm sure I am forgetting some other things. I have the old brake booster, a trunk weatherstripping, 2 new outer dew wipes, a subwoofer enclosure (no Sub) and a variety of other extra parts that come with the car. The paint is in good shape, and the former owner told me that it was painted about a year ago. It is a great car and I hate to sell it. I will also include an extra set of T-tops (No locks) These are very very rare and usually sell for $400 to $500... Oh, The car has been converted to R134A and all the parts (compressor,accumulator, tubes and hoses) are also new. A/C blows ice cold. I have all receipts. Over 10k in the car. My loss is your gain. I did remember a couple of more things :-) The car has an auto-dimming mirror that I put in, and the side lights, interior lights, and dash lights are all LEDs

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases
Wed, Nov 20 2019NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition
Tue, Aug 29 2017The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
