Pontiac Fiero Gt 1988 5 Spd Manual, Sunroof, 69,400 Orig. Miles, on 2040-cars
Tualatin, Oregon, United States
MINT CONDITION, near original 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT with 69,400 on the odometer. Third owner was my Dad, who gave it to me a few years back, always owned and operated by an adult, non-smoking owners, babied and well cared for its entire 26 year life. My Dad is an auto enthusiast and spent countless hours cleaning, detailing, and polishing this car. Original paint, immaculate interior, original motor & transmission…original fun! Heck, even the original “donut” spare tire is up front under the hood; never used. Equipped with: 2.8 liter V-6, 5 speed manual transmission, air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, original rear wing on trunk lid (rare), factory removable glass sunroof with original NEVER USED sunshade insert (complete with vinyl storage bag under the hood). Custom matching floor mats with “Fiero” embroidered on them. Maintenance: New front end ball joints and shocks installed 05/2002; new tires installed shortly afterwards 02/2003. The front windshield was showing signs of deterioration and was replaced on 04/2013. New NAPA battery on 07/2013. Since the car is a “fun-time only” vehicle and is never driven in bad weather, it has occasions when it sits for a while, so to prevent the battery from going dead a trickle charger is used; the charger’s leads are incorporated into the battery cables and the charger can be plugged in or unplugged in seconds. Trickle charger included with car. Modifications: The original seats were replaced by a previous owner with the ones you see, came out of a ’87 GT. Same material, same color as the rest of the interior. Brand new iPod connectable Kenwood stereo system with remote control (still in the bag), and new Kenwood speakers installed by Car Toys in 2013. At that time, power door locks were installed as well. I still have the original factory radio/cassette player and speakers in a box, and will include them to the purchaser if they should wish to convert the car back to original. No other modifications or changes made to this car. Defects: Very small surface scratches in the paint on the front nose of the car, probably incurred by using vinyl nose bra (included), mostly unnoticeable from 5 feet away. The worst one is shown in a picture, but you still have to look hard and close to see it’s there. Similarly, the rear wing has a couple slight scratches in the clear coat; I can’t even get them to show up on the camera. A good buffing would most likely take those right out. Otherwise, the paint is fantastic for being 26 years old, a testament to good wax and lots of elbow grease! There is also a crack in the driver’s side plastic seatbelt cover. I have a NIB replacement, but never got around to putting it on as it requires removal of the seat to access. The crack is hardly noticeable and has no effect on the functionality, but I am including the part so you can change it if you have the desire to. Other than that, there is nothing wrong with this car. It starts right up every time, even after sitting for a month or so; the A/C works and is cold; the headlights flip up and down perfectly; sounds great going down the road (ie, no “funny” noises); the interior is mint with no tears, rips, or stains; new stereo sounds awesome no matter what you play through it; never been in an accident, always garaged, owned and cared for by people who appreciate classic cars and know how to preserve them. In short: you will not be disappointed. Don’t let this one slip away! Legal: $500 deposit is required to be made into my PayPal account within 48 hours (two days) of auction close. Final payment of remaining balance may be made by your choice of cash, PayPal transfer, or cashier’s check ONLY. Car title will not be released until full payment has been made and has cleared the bank. Once the $500 deposit has been made, you have two weeks (14 days) to come collect the car; car is located in Tualatin, Oregon (25 miles SW of Portland). If you wish to have the car delivered, all arrangements and payment for such must be made by the PURCHASER. I will work with you as best I can, and delivering the car to a Portland or Vancouver, WA-based pick up location is do-able. HOWEVER, and please note, I will not allow the car to be shipped UNTIL final payment has been made and cleared. Once I receive the final payment, I will send the title and a bill of sale via FedEx Next Day delivery. Please ask ANY and all questions, especially if you are unsure on anything or need further clarification. Due to my odd work schedule, I am not usually able to be reached by phone, but I check my e-mail daily and can usually answer your questions within 24 hours of being asked. Thanks for looking.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

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.
