1991 Pontiac Firebird 3.1l V6 - Pink And Blue on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
In 2005, I purchased my dream car (on ebay) from a mechanic in Cleveland, OH. She is my baby. In 2007, I had her painted metallic pink and blue with metal flake. We went to our first car show, Trans Am Nationals, and won 2 trophies! The Dayton Aviation Award and 2nd Place for 1982-92 Firebirds. In 2009, I designed the custom interior and had it fabricated in pink and blue glitter vinyl. I have Grundy Insurance and my car is insured for $21,000. I pay about $500/year. There are several modifications that I've had done to her: Lambo Door Kit, Camaro Seats, 1986 Steering Wheel, 1987 Hood Bird, 1988 Trans Am GTA Aftermarket Spoiler, 1996 Trans Am Wheels (painted with metal flake), and Aftermarket CD Player and Speakers. From 2010-2013, I won 18 more awards! Many of them are 1st Place, I also have one for Best Interior and one for Best Presentation. I was awarded Best Presentation because I dressed in pink and blue clothing to match my car. Her name is Bubblicious, by the way. All 20 trophies/plaques come with the car. Bubblicious has also been in High Performance Pontiac magazine 2 times: April 2008 and 2010 with the Trans Am Nationals coverage. She is widely known, you'll get a lot of attention!!! The 3.1 v6 is good if you don't want to race your car. It gets better gas mileage than the v8 engine, but feel free to rebuild the engine. Engine Work: 2005: Brakes, Idler Arm, Shocks/Struts, Serpentine Belt, 2008: Fuel Injectors, Throttle Position Sensor, Idler Air Control Valve, Heater Control Valve, O2 Sensor, Hatch Motor, Wiper Motor, Manifold Gasket, Fuel Filter, Tune Up: Distributor Cap, Rotor, Coil, Spark Plugs and wires, 2009: Alternator, 2011: New Cooling Fan, Thermostat, Ground Wire, Cooling Sensor, Fan Switch, 2013: New Tires, New Battery, Oil, Oil Filter and Air Filter Changed 1,500 miles ago. Bubblicious has been my baby since I first bought her, but my life is going a different direction with no room for 2 cars. Whomever purchases her, take good care! Bubblicious is a great car!! |

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Distracted driver crosses center line and hits police car
Wed, Apr 6 2016Attentive driving and quick reflexes saved the life of a police officer in Hudson, WI, when an oncoming driver drifted into the officer's lane and struck his cruiser. According to KMSP, the officer was patrolling along a busy road through Hudson on March 31 when the crash occurred. Dash cam video from the patrol car which was released to local media shows the dramatic collision unfold. As the officer came around a mild left-hand curve, a white, 90s-era Pontiac Grand Am continued straight through the curve, across the center line, and directly into the officer's path. The officer was able to avoid a head-on collision, but the Pontiac still struck the driver's side of the patrol car. "Both the officer and the other driver are ok, however, this accident could have been much, much worse," said a Hudson Police Department official on the department's Facebook page. "So please remember to pay attention to your driving at all times when behind the wheel." Minnesota's Department of Public Safety estimates that one in every four crashes in the State of Minnesota are caused by distracted drivers. DPS believes that the actual number may be higher, but police often have difficulty proving distracted driving as the cause of a crash. Government/Legal Pontiac Driving Safety Coupe Police/Emergency
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
