For sale is my '82 Pontiac Firebird. I purchased this car as a solid body only and pulled it out of a barn. The body is EXTREMELY solid as you can see in the pictures. This was originally a V6 car but I have built it over the last 8 years into a pro-touring style car. I have well over 10 grand in this car in parts. There is over 3 grand just in the fuel injection and transmission. Reserve basically covers only the parts that would be very easy to part out and re-sell.
Engine - '89 1 piece rear main seal truck block 350 bored .040" over. Stock crank, rods, ARP bolts, KB Hyperuetectic pistons. 9.0:1 compression. Balanced assembly. LT4 HOT cam, Edelbrock Perf. RPM cylinder heads, Edelbrock Pro-Flo EFI, much more. Has between 400-450 HP. Car is FAST!
Transmission - T56 6-speed out of a 95 Camaro, Hurst Billet-Plus shifter, Centerforce dual-friction clutch
Rearend - '87 Firebird GTA 9-bolt borg-warner with posi and disc brakes, Spohn performance adjustable torque arm and trans mount with driveshaft loop
Suspension - KYB AGX adjustable shocks and struts, wonder bar, heavy duty ADCO sway bar,Summit lowering springs, all poly bushings, Lakewood lower control arms, Edelbrock adjustable panhard bar, much more.
Brakes - All 4 rotors drilled and slotted. Front SSBC brake caliper upgrade. Rear stock calipers. SS brake lines, stainless braided hoses.
Body - Paint is faded, but I liked it that way. Kind of a sleeper look. The missing grill disentigrated in my hands, easy to find to replace. The other is custom with Dodge Ram grill insert. I still have the parts to finish the Drivers side in the same fashon should you want it. There is small rust buble around parking light. Tried my best to show it in the picture.
Interior - Has the rare PMD seats with the hole in headrest that you need for any KITT replica car. Covers are descent but could be re-covered for show car look. Carpet is new, headliner, sail panels, and sun visors are new. Entire interior has been sprayed with lizard skin for sound absorbtion. No radio, was next on my list. It is wired to the back for an amplifier install.
There is a ton more to talk about on this car. It was my baby for 8 years, and I have driven it for 500 miles. I have to get rid of it becuase I do not have enough room to complete my '69 Camaro project. Hard to let this car go but has to be done. If you have any questions or want additional pictures feel free to contact me. The car is available for test drives if you are in the area. This is a great car and I take CASH or Money Orders ONLY. Shipping is at buyers expense and is up to buyer to coordinate. I am available to help your shipping contractor pick up and load the car.
Thanks for looking and good luck!

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced
Mon, Jan 29 2024DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird
Sat, May 9 2020From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

This junkyard '91 Grand Am is as hooptie as it gets
Wed, Jun 29 2016I spend a lot of time in junkyards. A lot of time. With all this experience, I have learned to recognize a perfect hooptie when I see one, a car whose final owner got every last bit of use out of it when its value was hovering right about at scrap value. This 1991 Pontiac Grand Am that I spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard a few days ago, from the final model year for the third-generation Grand Am, checks all the hooptie boxes just right. First of all, it's a low-option coupe with the wretched and unloved GM Iron Duke engine, a rattly, gnashy, thrashy 2.5-liter four-cylinder kludged together using off-the-shelf parts from the Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8 during the darkest years of the Malaise Era and used in cars whose buyers just didn't care. Most of the paint has been burned off by 25 years of harsh California sun, but the car spent sufficient time in a damp, shady spot for lichens to build up here and there. There are skeletons-with-sombreros stencils sprayed here and there, plus a big moonshine-guzzling skeleton mural painted on the hood. Goodbye, property values! Still, someone felt some affection for this car, giving it the name "Good Ol' Snakey" and painting that name on the decklid. We can assume that the Iron Duke was a bit loose by this time, probably leaving a serpentine trail of blue smoke behind the car at all times. So, the combination of cheapness, ugliness, menace, and who-gives-a-damn functionality make this Grand Am an excellent example of a pure hooptie. Within a couple of months, it will be crushed, shredded, shipped out of the Port of Oakland, and reborn in China as refrigerators and Geely Emgrands. Somewhere in Northern California, though, a few of Ol' Smokey's friends will remember this car fondly.
