1978 Pontiac Formula Firebird with numbers matching 350 CI Chevy V8. Back in those days GM put different GM motors in all of their brands, this car happened to get a Chevy 350. The engine has a new alternator, water pump, belts/hoses, edelbrock air gap intake, edelbrock 650 CFM 4 BBL carb, headers, ignition parts and battery.

This car was originally a 4 speed but somebody replaced it with a TH350 auto trans. Transmission was cleaned and flushed and I installed a B&M quicksilver shifter, the shifter fits nicely in the stock console. The car has new tires, front brakes, wheels bearings and front shocks.

The paint and interior are about a year old and look very nice. The paint is a base coat/clear coat system.  The entire exhaust system was replaced and new flowmaster mufflers were installed,,,,,sounds great. The car has power steering and power brakes but does not have air conditioning.

I use the car as a weekend driver and take it to the occasional car show, it runs and drives very nicely. The car is 95% complete. Some little things need to be done to finish: Dome light connected, speedo reads incorrect, fan motor, new radio installed (I have one and comes with the car), fuel gauge is inoperative and new door glass installed. I have the new windows still in the boxes and they come with car, I never got around to installing them.  To make the window installation easier, I installed the door panels with only the arm rests holding them in place.  They are sturdy but can be removed easily to replace the glass.  If you plan on driving the car home, I would recommend having someone with an SUV/truck come along because I don't think both windows in their boxes will fit in the car.

This is a real car that I'm really trying to sell.  I've set a very realistic reserve price, well below $9K.  Most hard core car show people would call this car a "driver" while the average person would think it's an excellent car.  When I take the car out I get alot of waves, thumbs up, compliments or the occasional "I had a Firebird in High School" story.  This car took about a year to do in my spare time.  I do this as a hobby and it's time to find a new project, that's why I'm selling.  I've included a few pictures of the car before paint and during restoration to give you an idea of the condition before I got it.  It was basically a rust free car that needed very little body work.  Happy bidding, thanks.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6

Sat, Sep 12 2020

What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
