I bought this car about four years ago and in that time I have only done about 2000 miles. I really don't get the time to drive it so its just been sitting in my garage. The car includes a lot of original paperwork including factory manuals and a log book in which the original owner documented every time he added fuel, serviced the car, etc. The car has 36,400 original miles and is in great condition - no rust and could easily make a daily driver. The handling is great and true, the breaking smooth and the engine runs and sounds great with the flomaster pipes. The interior, paintwork, engine, drive, wheels are all completely original and solid. The interior is unbelievable and tthe T-Tops remove easily. The photos do not do this car justice. The original cassette sounds like you'd expect and theres even a free cassette with 80s music.
This is a 33 year old car and in fantastic condition, passes smog easily. However there are some minor that can be dealt with easily.
- From cold the car can sometimes takes a couple of starts. I think the choke needs tuning. It always starts immediately when warm.
- I removed the firebird and had the plastic chrome side trim removed. I believe the firebird can easily be replaced.
- Electric windows are a little slow.
- The middle turbo light doesnt work - I believe the cable was cut but never bothered with it. (doesn't affect turbo)
- The gear selector bevel cracked in the LV heat - it could with fixing a little nicer or replacing.
For a 33 year old car these really are minor issues - the car looks, drives and sounds great. A real head turner.
Pleas contact me with any additional questions, inspections welcome. I will not provide shipping however if you wish to arrange this yourself I will work with you.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673
Fri, Apr 9 2021This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
