Hello! Don't let the miles fool you! This is an excellent car and does not drive anything like a 200K mile car! I see many Firebirds/trans ams that have really low miles and all that tells me is that they have not lived and brought much enjoyment to their drivers!! This car, even though it has 200K miles, is about 15 years old, so the miles average out to be just right. I am the 3rd owner, the first sold it around 100K, the second sold it at 200K. I have had it for over a year and have put around 7K. It was garaged it's whole life and looked amazing when I bought it. I do not have a garage fit for it, so my cats climb all over it, the trees pollinate on it, and the birds poop on it. I absolutely hate to see such a fine classic automobile getting trashed like that. So I am selling it. Also, my teenage daughter is fixing to start learning how to drive and she IS NOT learning on this car! This car runs strong! Sounds great! Good clutch, everything works! Cold AC, hot heater! No dents!! just a few scratches! front tires still showing good enough, but I recommend replacing rear tires soon. There are a few scratches where the idiot cats jumped on it and lost footing and scratched it up. They are all light scratches that can be buffed out, but I cannot spend that money just to have it get messed up right away. There is a crack in each door panel along the top of them. They are almost identical and no idea how they got there. Was like that when I bought it. There are no cracks on the dash, no tears in the seats. CD player works. I believe it is wired for a MP3 player or ipod or something. The previous owner was telling me about it but I am not into my music that much so I was not listening. The Formula has the 305 horsepower 5.7 350 V8 derived from the corvette!! It runs strong and sounds good. There are no modifications done to this car. All stock! There was one upgrade that the previous owner did and that was upgrade the cat converter to the 2001/2002 type that is supposed to be better. I took his word for it since he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. It just recently developed a power steering fluid leak. The power steering pump does not whine so I am assuming it is not the pump itself that is bad. However, I have not had it looked at professionally since it just started. One of the pulleys make a squeaky sound but not too loud. The service engine soon light recently came on and I had Auto Zone plug it up and it suggested an air pump electrical circuit fault, or blocked air system, or failed air pump. The amount of pollen that our trees are pouring out recently may have something to do with this. I decided to sell it and hopefully the new owner will be better able to keep this fine car up to the high standards that it deserves. This car is listed on local craigslist and will be available locally unless a bid is placed. Once a bid is placed here on eBay, I will not sell it locally outright, the sale will only be thru eBay at that point. So if you want this car, please bid early! I will answer all questions as soon as I can. I am not always near my email, but I will check it as often as I can. I will assist your shipping company as best as possible. I suggest USHIP.COM. please pay within 3 days of end of auction. Thank you! |

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.
This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours
Fri, Jan 29 2021Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!  This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
