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: 2009 Pontiac G3

Sun, Mar 28 2021

Things weren't looking so rosy for Pontiac Division in late 2008, as The General had troubles of its own that culminated in Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June of 2009. Meanwhile, the Solstice and G8 had failed to revive Pontiac's youthful "excitement" image. Naturally, this seemed like the ideal time to put Pontiac badges and a new grille on the Chevrolet Aveo (itself a rebadged Daewoo Kalos) and call it the G3 (in the United States) or the G3 Wave (in Canada). Sales were not brisk, to put it mildly, and the 2009-only G3 has become one of the rarest modern Pontiacs in the junkyard world. The announcement of Pontiac's demise came in the spring of 2009, with the very last Pontiac-badged vehicle built being either a G3 or a Vibe (since those cars were really Daewoos and Toyotas, respectively, the true final Pontiac was the 2010 G6). The Aveo itself disappeared after the 2011 model year, replaced by an updated Kalos design known here as the Chevrolet Sonic. As a result of the GM bankruptcy, termination of the Pontiac brand, a nasty worldwide recession, and the preference of American vehicle shoppers for trucks or at least truck-shaped cars, few knew the G3 existed and fewer still thought to buy one. This is only the second G3 I've managed to find in a car graveyard, and I've been searching diligently.  So, it's a Junkyard Gem in the historical sense, not in the sense of being the kind of car you'd want to take to your 20th high school reunion. That said, it has power windows, air conditioning, and a CD player— pretty nice stuff for a dirt-cheap econobox from a decade back. And look! An AUX jack for your iPod or early-model smartphone. I drove dozens of cheap rental cars for my job with the 24 Hours of Lemons Traveling Circus during the late 2000s, and very few had this feature; until about 2013 or so, you had to travel with your own CDs or one of those horrible wireless FM modulators if you wanted to listen to anything other than the radio in a non-high-roller rental car. Under the hood, a 106-horse Daewoo Ecotec displacing 1.6 liters. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. If there were any television commercials for the G3, I guarantee that they weren't as fun as this one— set in the California high desert, of course— for the SKDM Kalos.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
