Here is an unusual find.......a 1997 Pontiac Firebird convertible with less than 100 miles from new! It is a beautiful dark metallic green with tan cloth interior & tan power top. It has the series 2 3800 V6 & 5-speed manual transmission and all the available power options. It has 78 miles on the odometer and still smells new!
Here's the story......a good friend of mine (who's in his 70's now) has been a car guy his entire life. He bought a '64.5 Mustang convertible off the showroom floor back in the spring of '64 and still owns it to this day. Back in the 80's & early 90's he was heavily into the Pontiac Fiero....which is when I met him (I was also big into the Fiero at that time). By the late 90's & early 2000's he was moving towards the 4th Gen F-body and had about 20 various Camaros & Firebirds.....his favorite driver today is a '99 Trans-Am. Anyway, he purchased this Firebird convertible in July 1998 to give to his wife, but subsequent to his giving it to her she mentioned how much she hated those things. So he never gave it to her and the car sat in the corner of his warehouse ever since.
Late last year he mentioned that he'd like to sell it and after hooking up a new battery it would not start. The fuel pump was shot. We had a new Delphi fuel pump installed, but it still would not start, so a set of rebuilt fuel injectors and a new fuel filter were installed too. It fired right up and runs & drives great.....just like the new car that it is. I drove it about a mile to the storage garage and the only thong "wrong" with the car are the tires have flat spots from sitting for almost 15 years, but if you are just adding this to your collection this will not be an issue. If you plan on driving the car then new tires should be the first thing you replace anyway.
With the exception of the battery, fuel pump & injectors this car is exactly as it was when it left the factory. There are some small scratches & scuffs on the rear bumper from bumping into the wall when it was parked in 1998 and some small clearcoat chips along the drivers door......nothing serious, but it must be mentioned. I took some pictures of these issues, so please take a good look at them. If you need better pictures then ask and I will e-mail them to you.
I have described this car as honestly as possible and while it is essentially a brand new car there are no warranties expressed or implied......it is a 15+ year old car, so anything can happen. I encourange you to ask me any & all questions prior to bidding so there are no doubts about anything. Also, you need to have at least 5 feedback points (with no negatives) otherwise your bid will be removed. If you have less than 5 and want to bid on this car then please e-mail me first and we'll talk about it.
High bidder will send a $1000 non-refundable deposit via Pay Pal within 24 hours of the auctions close with the balance due within 7 days of auction close. I can store the car for up to 2 weeks after the auction ends for no additional cost, but after that it will be $200/month (either way the car must be paid in full within 7 days of the auctions closing).
The reserve is very reasonable......about half of what it cost new, so please don't ask me what it is. Bid to own!
Thanks and good luck!

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.
Junkyard Gem: 2007 Pontiac G6 GT Convertible
Sun, Jan 8 2023GM's Pontiac Division sold its first convertibles during the 1927 model year (just a year after the division's creation), then proceeded to offer memorable drop-tops for most of the following 83 years. The best-selling convertible to bear Pontiac badges during our current century was the retractable-hardtop-equipped G6, available from the G6's introduction in 2006 through the second-to-last model year of 2009 (the Sunfire convertible was available just through 2000, while the Firebird convertible vanished with the demise of the slow-selling Firebird itself after 2002). Here's one of those G6 GT convertibles, found in a Denver-region boneyard after a crash ended its driving career. Mashed right front, popped airbags. This sort of damage might have been worth repairing in 2009, but not today. The 2007 G6 was available as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. All the convertibles had the GT trim level and the 3.5-liter V6 and its 224 horsepower. The MSRP on this car was $28,750 (about $42,325 in 2022 dollars), making it the most expensive G6. The power hardtop roof folded up into the trunk, leaving 1.8 cubic feet of trunk storage space with the top down. This Karmann-designed roof system made the interior much quieter than that of a traditional soft-top convertible. All G6s were built at Orion Assembly in Michigan, where Chevy Bolts are born today. The G6 was built through the 2010 model year, making it one of the very last Pontiac models (the Vibe also made it to 2010, though it was really a Toyota Matrix). In hindsight, 2007 turned out to be an ominous year for GM.Â
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
