* Engine Cradle: Silver powder coated with aluminum cradle bushings.

 

* Brakes: Hybrid 13” front & rear Viper discs/Porsche Brembo calipers with Porsche pads; stainless steel brake lines and S10 master cylinder.

 

* Power Steering: 2000 Camaro SS power steering; Momo steering wheel; rebuilt steering column and turn signal, etc.

* Cooling/Air Conditioning System: Champion 3 core radiator (runs cool on hottest Arizona days); heater core replaced; air conditioning converted to R-134C and works well.

 

Exterior:

 

* Paint: The basecoat Metallic Blue paint is original, except the front fascia and hood have been repainted; old clear coat was sanded off and silver racing stripes were painted before a new clear coat was applied; paint is better than new. 

 

* No Rust: The car has no rust; it spent its life in Idaho, California, and Arizona, mostly in garages.

 

Interior:

 

* Seats, Doors, Visors & Trim: Mr. Mike’s GT Style leather seats and visors installed in 2006.

 

* Weather Stripping: In original excellent condition.

* Gauges, Controls, Buttons, Etc:  All work perfectly.

 

* Trunk: Replaced front hood weather seal and rear trunk gasket; original trunk carpet.

 

* Karr Alarm: Starter interlock; door locks; trunk release.

 

Other Info:

 

* The car starts quickly and runs great; it is very quick and it sounds great!  We were building the car to run in the 12’s but, I do not know if we made it.

 

* The car has had two previous adult owners before me and was only driven in the summer in Idaho before I brought it to Southern CA in 2004 with 84,000 miles on it.  The car has 98,000 Miles on the odometer today, but as almost everything that rotates or wears has been replaced since 2008 and except for the engine which had 32,000 miles on it when I bought it and has no more than about 8,000 miles of use since being partially rebuilt; hence, the car has many fewer effective miles on it.

 

* The car has a sun roof and original sun roof cover and case, power windows, tilt wheel, and power door locks, power mirrors.  The interior is in excellent condition.  The windshield was replaced a few years ago.

 

* Every bulb in the car has been replaced; headlights are Sylvania Silverstar; all lights work; headlight actuators were rebuilt and work like new.

 

* The car has no spare tire as the 18” wheels and tires will not fit in the Fiero spare tire space or the trunk if you had a flat…AAA and two cans of fix-a- flat is my solution as I have never had a flat in 56 years of driving.

 

* The car is smoke, pet, and accident free.

 

* Since I have owned the car the only times it has gotten wet is when it was being washed.

 

Third Party Inspection:

 

We do not have any of the usual third party inspection companies in the Prescott, AZ area, but I have had it evaluated by Jim Wing of Autotech Appraisals, (928) 541-7623.  His relevant business is a stated value (for insurance) appraisal service and he also appraises cars for buyers and sellers at auctions such as Barrett - Jackson.  The last picture on this page contains his report and he will discuss his opinions about the car with you, if you call him.  His appraised value for the car is $22,000. 

 

If you want inspect the car, personally, or have the car inspected by a third party at my location, I will be pleased to cooperate with such inspection.

 

Minor Problem: The only physical problem noted by the appraiser was a cracked left rear sail panel which is shown in the last photo on this page.  Otherwise, his opinion of the car’s glass was Good.  Replacement sail panels are readily available here on eBay and elsewhere.

 

Title:

 

* The Car’s Title is Clear.

 

* The CarFax report shows that the car had a California DMV Junk Title issued in 2009, but there is no report of accidents, total loss, or structural damage, or water damage in that same report because the car has never been damaged in any way. 

 

* The Junk Title was actually issued as part of the original plan to use the car as a kit car donor under the provisions of California’s Senate Bill 100 (SB100) Specially Constructed Vehicle program which provides a very complex regime for granting permission for the construction of 500 Specially Constructed Vehicles (mostly kit cars) per year.  One of the provisions of this program is that if a car is part of the kit car, even if the car is in perfect condition, the car must be treated as a dismantled vehicle and be issued a Junk Title as it will no longer be the vehicle it was and will be reconstructed as a vehicle which in no way resembles the car it was. 

 

* California Vehicle Code Section 580 Specially Constructed Vehicle states, “A specially constructed vehicle" is a vehicle which is built for private use, not for resale, and is not constructed by a licensed manufacturer or remanufacturer.  A specially constructed vehicle may be built from (1) a kit; (2) new or used, or a combination of new and used, parts; or (3) a vehicle reported for dismantling, as required by which, when reconstructed, does not resemble the original make of the vehicle dismantled.  A specially constructed vehicle is not a vehicle which has been repaired or restored to its original design by replacing parts.”

 

* After, completing the first administrative part of this process which started on January 2, 2008, I decided life was too short and the cost too high to build a kit car and I would simply go for an engine swap, but the DMV would not remove the Junk Title. 

 

* The engine swap was completed in August 2009, and the CA DMV issued a Rebuilt Title. 

 

* In 2010, I moved the car to Arizona and the AZ Motor Vehicle Department issued another Rebuilt Title even though the car has never been damaged in any way. 

 

California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) Approved Engine Swap:

 

The car had a California Bureau of Auto Repair (BAR) approved engine swap completed in 2009 (BAR Vehicle Information Label is attached to the doorframe).  At that time, the car passed California smog testing as shown on the CarFax report.  I later moved to rural AZ where we have no smog testing.  The California engine swap approval may still be valid, but I do not know if it is.  If you are a California buyer you need to do your own due diligence in this matter.  I see no reason that that the car will not pass any state’s smog regulations, but I do not state or represent that it will.

 

Why Am I Selling the Car?

 

This has been a very long project and labor of love and I have about $32,000 invested in it, but I am about to turn 70 years old and I have too many cars.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe

Thu, Feb 21 2019

In a few months, we'll reach the tenth anniversary of GM's axing of the venerable Pontiac brand. G6s, Vibes, and Matizes continued to be built until 2010, but I'm noticing a marked decrease in discarded Pontiacs lately, as I perform my junkyardy rituals. Here's a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, photographed in a Colorado wrecking yard. The Sunfire was the near-identical sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier, based on the long-running (1982-2005) J-Body platform. It was cheap and simple, looked pretty sporty (at least in coupe form), and every parts store in North America carried just about everything you'd need to keep one running. This coupe had to compete for sales not only with a vast and menacing array of imports but with GM's own Saturn SC2 (not to mention the Cavalier itself). Meanwhile, the J platform was showing its age more with each passing year. This car sports what must have been the complete line of Fatal Clothing bomber-nose-art/skate-punk/gang-tag-influenced decals, circa 2010. I actually photographed this car back in 2011, then misplaced the image files until last week. The stickers are very California-centric for a Colorado car, but then plenty of Californians — including me— move here. When you know you're a car's final owner, it's a lot easier to whip out the paint pens and redecorate the interior. Power came from the engine GM developed for the very first J-Bodies: the 2.2-liter 122 pushrod four-cylinder. 2002 was the last model year for 122-powered Sunfires and Cavaliers; the most affordable S-10/Sonoma/Hombre trucks got this engine through 2003.
