First off read all of the discription and see all of the photo`s. I bought this car from the previous owner to finish and flip, The work done to this car has been very extensive; I will do my best to give all the details with out boring you to death, The following work was done by the previous owner; consisting of new quarters on both sides, full trunk pan, New hood from year one, crate 350 motor and crate TH350 transmission with a shift kit and deeper ribbed pan, 12 bolt rear-end with 391 gears, Ladder traction bars, drive shaft safety loop, Power disc brake up front, 3/8 fuel line, After market Heat and A/C system,

This is the work done by me after I got the car; First I checked everything the previous owner did and made any needed changes, I pulled the front clip off and installed new headers wrapped in high temp titanium wrap to drop heat in the engine bay, Finished running the dual exhaust out the back. I pulled the intake and installed a new Pro-comp air gap 4 barrel intake and Edel-Brock carb.
I replaced the radiator with a new aluminum high flow with twin 12" electric fans, A high out put alternator, Finished hooking up the a/c & heating system. Mounted a additional electric fan on the a/c condenser coil. New battery box and hold down, all new bolts for the complete front clip assembly. rebuilt the door hinges.
New headlights and adjuster springs, New windshield, Painted the dash, Installed a good used oem style dash gauge cluster and wiring. 
The old one was in poor condition. Radio and front and rear speakers and wire.  New after market gauges to monitor the engine.
I replaced the drivers side front floor pan and gas pedal mounting studs; cleaned the rest of the floor and painted; then added Dynamat to the floor and the doors for a better quality ride, New carpet and head liner.  All the light bulbs were replaced and connections cleaned and electrical grease applied.
All of the interior was cleaned and installed as well as new rear view mirror assembly and sun visors, I found a good spare rim and blasted it and painted it; No spare tire though.
Took all of the bright work and buffed it up as best possible and reinstalled, I cleaned up the tail panel Pontiac placard and applied a little paint and mounted it.
Blasted all of the rally 2 rims and painted the correct color and buffed up the trim pieces and balanced all tires.
I removed all of the front end and cleaned and painted the parts then installed new rubber bushings upper and lower, new upper and lower ball joints cleaned and repacked the wheel bearings. New inner and outer tie rod ends and adjusters, Center drag link and Idler arm. then installed with new front coils springs and had the alignment done. Replaced the gas tank and put in a new sending unit and After market gas gauge in the dash where a clock would normally go.
The car was completely sanded and primed then sanded again and painted a off white (Mercedes Benz Color) and clear coated. Most of the wet-sanding has been done and the large areas buffed all new seals installed. This car is not perfect or a trailer queen it is how ever a very nice and dependable daily driver if you so desire. It is truly fun to drive and is appreciated by those that see it.
Please ask questions. 904-365-1138 ask for Mike  The reserve is really low for the amount of money and work  (just over 12k) This is here for all you guys that pester me about the reserve. You could NOT build this car for the money I want and you know it; if you don`t you are not mechanically inclined. 
Here are the negatives, The front horns need to be replaced and the horn relay installed I will leave out the relay and include it so it is not damage by someone trying to make the horn work, You will need to buy a spare tire for the rim and get a jack assembly I do have the mounting hook and wing nut. The head light bezels are in poor condition as well as the tail light bezels. to complete the cloning you will need the correct tail light bezels and quarter panel emblems and trunk emblem. I am sure I have left out some thing that is why I put my phone number in the auction description. a few small chips in the paint I will attempt to repair before sold.
This car runs strong and pulls hard and it does it on regular pump gas. Lastly I am selling this to get a truck as I need one for my work; I am NOT interested in trades, I bought this to flip and have no attachments to it; I am a MOPAR guy; although i really do enjoy this car. it has classic lines and a good mix of economy power and rock solid reliability. Hope you like what you see and read, good luck bidding. I do not use Pay-Pal and want either cash upon the pick up of the car or certified bank check and from a bank that does business in Florida, Direct deposit, or U.S.Postal money order. 


On Mar-22-13 at 16:42:50 PDT, seller added the following information:

I failed to mention a few things. First I have the correct rocker molding trim pieces and a new bag of correct mounting hardware to install them that go with the car.

Second I would like to point out if you do not have at least 5 positive feed backs with no negative comments do not bid on my auction until you call me first or your bid WILL be withdrawn.
Third I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as I have it for sale locally so if you want this car make up your mind and bid because it will go.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird

Sat, May 9 2020

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did

Fri, Jun 21 2019

Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.

Pontiac Aztek rises from the ashes of infamy in Firebird Trans Am guise

Thu, Apr 9 2020

What if the Pontiac Aztek, one of the most widely ridiculed vehicles ever built, was reimagined with a little flair from one of the former brand’s more legendary cars? Well, it turns out that someone not only came up with that idea, but followed up on it. And so, we present to you the Pontiac Aztek Firebird Trans Am, uh, trim package? ItÂ’s not real, of course, but it comes from Abimelec Arellano, an Hermosillo, Mexico-based car designer with too much time on his hands who goes by the name Abimelec Design. Arellano redesigned the midsize SUVÂ’s wimpy front fascia to surprising success by simply adding widened fender flares and perhaps modernizing the headlights. He also went all-in embracing the AztekÂ’s abrupt, flattened rear end by removing the rear bumper lip, adding a slightly more aggressive rear spoiler to boot. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Elsewhere, the dominating and cheap-looking gray plastic under-cladding is gone in favor of body-color panels. Arellano also added some probably larger Pontiac Snowflake wheels with gold accents that really make them pop and play well against the signature Firebird decal dominating the hood. Commenters generally fall into one of two buckets. As one put it, “I never thought the Aztek could look this good.” Others implored Arellano to do a version with a T-top. Or as one Autoblog editor put it, “So it turns out the reason the Aztek was a laughingstock failure is that it didnÂ’t come in a Smokey and the Bandit Edition. Somewhere, a dude who got shouted down in a product-planning meeting years ago is vindicated.” Sold between 2001 and 2005, the Aztek arguably reached the pinnacle of its notoriety as the metaphor for the drab, underachieving life of Walter White in AMCÂ’s meth drama, “Breaking Bad.” It came equipped with a 3.4-liter V6 that made 185 horsepower and sent it through a four-speed automatic to the front wheels, with an all-wheel drive version also available. The Aztek may have the last laugh, especially if it gets a screaming chicken. “The fact it was a controversial design and didnÂ’t sell well will make it an object of curiosity from a historical standpoint many years from now,” McKeel Hagerty, president and CEO of classic-car insurer Hagerty Insurance, told Autoblog back in 2016.
