1992 Pontiac Firebird Base Coupe 2-door 3.1l on 2040-cars
I have owned this 1992 Pontiac Firebird for seven years. The vehicle is in good condition. Six years ago, the vehicle was professionally repainted to its current forest green with black metal flakes color. The vehicle has been kept in a garage and has been used as a secondary vehicle to be only used in good weather. The air conditioning, heat, fog lights, parking lights, rear brake lights and headlights all work accordingly. The only mechanical issues are that the headlights are currently locked in an upright position due to sounding light motors going bad and that the front hood shocks stay up randomly (depending on temperature). The rear hatch shocks work well (hatch must be opened with the key). There are new tires on restored black and chrome Trans-am wheels (approx. 2,000 mi). The body of the car is in good condition with only minimal small scratches. The interior is also in good shape with its black and charcoal gray coloring. There is a small crack in the dashboard next to the speaker. The radio works with a manual antenna. The back window is tinted and there is a new exhaust muffler and dual tailpipes that were replaced at 70,500 miles. Included with the car will be two sets of factory keys, two sets of t-tops: factory fiber glass t-tops (professionally painted black) and glass mirror t-tops that are currently on the car. You will also receive two leather bags with cloth inserts for the t-tops. Winning bidder will also receive an eight month old car cover, rubber floor-mats and carpet floor-mats. There will also be two silver sail-bird decals included for when the originals need replaced. The vehicle also has the original owner's manual, an extra fog light bulb, an extra center wheel cap, an extra wheel lug-nut and lug-nut covers. The winning bidder will have the option to purchase silver alloy firebird (15 in) snowflake rims with Firestone tires with approximately 4,000 miles on them (shown in the picture with silver wheels). The black rims are currently on the vehicle. This is the second time the vehicle has been listed on ebay; the first time it sold the winning bidder (who has no transaction history on ebay) did not make contact with me, nor responded to any messages I sent him. The winning bidder is responsible for vehicle pick-up which will be close to Harrisburg, PA. Buyer is also responsible for making contact with the seller and making a $500.00 non-refundable deposit to Pay-Pal within the first forty-eight hours of auction's end. Please feel free to contact me with any additional inquiries on the vehicle. |

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe
Sun, Apr 9 2023In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
