 Up for auction is a 1997 pontiac Sunfire Almost completely redone. This car is a first place show winner, adult owned,
and garage kept.
The Pros on this car:
   It has a new motor, with 3700 miles on it. It was replaced a few years back. When the motor was replace a few obvious
things were replaced also. Upper motor mount, full tune up, upper and lower radiator hoses, oil. the motor is stock with
the exception of the cold air intake and header. The car exhaust system has been almost completely replaced except the mid
pipe. New Header, expansion pipe, flowmaster 40 series muffler that splits into dual rear exhaust tails with chrome tips.
It has a new rack and pinion also.The car has new brakes and calipers all the way around.The calipers and drums have been
 painted red. the car has new 18
inch wheels and tires, the tires have good tread on them. the body of this car also features new panels. New front
quarter panels, new rear wing, new hood, new front and rear bumper, new side skirts and mirrors. the car was completely
taken apart and painted black and red. The red racing strip is unique with an out of the ordinary design bringing it to
a point on the nose contouring the hood instead of the traditional rectangle look. The stripe also has metallic in it
which pops when the sun hits it. The interior was redone in black and red also. The door panels, headliner, and center
console have been done in crushed velvet which also pops in sun light. the windows are tinted 5% all the way around except
the front windshield. The Mirrors feature led lights which can be turned on and of by a toggle switch inside. The headlights
have been replaced with new ones that arent foggy and have an led light bar at the bottom of each like some of the newer
cars. The headlight bulbs have been upgraded to an HID set up which are much brighter. The stock headlight wiring was not
tampered with for inspection reasons. You simply pull out the HIDS, put the stock bulbs back in and boom, no inspection
issue. You simply put the HID bulbs back in when you get home and your rolling in style and staying legal. The car is
also equipped with a night rider led light bar in the nose which can be removed without interfering with the body of the
car which is also controlled by remote and has 7 different lighting setups. The car also has LED light bars underneith
which is a very cool look at night. Its a multi color set up and has 11 different options. It can be controlled by either
the control box mounted in the center console or remote. The car also has led turn signals up front and led brake light
in the wing. Now for the stereo system in this car. This is my sickest creation yet! starting in the front of the car and
working back it features a 220 amp alt which is 130 amps over stock.Plenty of charging power there. An Isolater box which
charges the two batteries the car has, one up front, one in the truck, individually so one doesnt kill the other. Very
important piece to have when doing a dual battery setup. inside we have a Kenwood Head unit that is high powered, changes
colors on the face, cd, aux port, and USB to allow you to play your phone or mp3. it also has a remote. The door speakers
are Kenwood mids, highs, and crossovers capable of 300 plus Watts. in the truck we have a Kicker 12 inch Solobaric box
with 2 subs in it. Pushing this box is a 2000 watt D class Alpine amp. this amp is at 1/4 gain and rocks my chest when
playing songs. At 1/4 gain theres plenty of room for more power output but I cant handle anymore. There is also a smaller
Alpine amp pushing the mids and highs which produces 300 to 500 watts. There is a sec battery in the trunk along with a
Tsunami capacitor. Just a safe guard for the system to keep it at peak power but is probably overkill. The lights on this
car dont flicker, blink, or anything when playing the system. The stereo system has several fuses in the lines for safety
to you, the car, and the system. The car does still retain the spare tire under the dimond plate cover in the trunk.

*****THE YELLOW TOP BATTERY IN THE TRUCK IS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW STANDARD BATTERY!****

  now for the cons:
the nose of the car has some small stone chips in it. not many. also there are some barely noticeable stress cracks in the
fiberglass. A cart I beleive scratched the back in a small area by the fuel door. (a pro, This car has no dents at
all. I showed that in the pictures). the left side mirror glass was replaced after falling out with a cut to fit which
is split around the edges. thats an inexpensive replacement, 5 dollars or less. the head liner is sagging in one spot
due to me rushing to finish the head liner for the last show it was in. again, easy fix. some areas on the back deck, and
seat belt still need to be painted black and the sun visors arent finished. I beleive thats it and as I said the car is
95 % finished! this car runs great, is great on gas, and has never given me a problem after the motor was replaced. its a
head turner all day! Its a conversation starter also. Ive had people ask what kind of car is it? who makes it? etc.

 Im selling this car and my truck because I want a new toy. Im in the market for a Corvette and dont have the room to keep
them or the money. Oh, the car also has LED light bars inside under the dash that flash in sinc with the exterior lights.
Im seeling this car for a reserve price of $5500. OBO. A $500 dollar non refundable deposit is required at this auctions
end so serious bidders inquire. I AM OPEN TO BEST OFFERS so send me a message and it will be considered. I reserve the
right to end this auction at any time due to the car being sold locally also. I am also willing to take the car up to 30
miles to meet a buyer with an addition 25 dollars for my gas and time. any questions feel free to send me a message
and happy bidding.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Firebird

Mon, Dec 18 2023

Last spring, this series featured a 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS in a Northern California junkyard, an example of the final model year for the highly successful third-generation GM F-Body. On a later visit to that yard, I spotted the Pontiac sibling to that car, a Firebird that was born the same year at the same Southern California factory. When the Chevrolet Division introduced the first Camaro as a 1967 model, the Pontiac Division got its own version of the F-Body called the Firebird. While the two cars were built on the same chassis and looked very similar, the first-generation Camaros got Chevrolet engines while their Firebird colleagues got Pontiac engines (including the innovative SOHC straight-six). The 1970-1981 second-generation Firebirds still had some Pontiac-only engines, but Chevrolet and Oldsmobile power crept under some hoods during that period. The third-generation Firebirds first appeared as 1982 models, and they drew from near-identical stockpiles of GM running gear (including the distinctly agricultural Iron Duke four-banger, which could be considered a Pontiac-derived engine). When the Camaro got the axe after 2002, the Firebird's neck was put on the same chopping block. When the Camaro returned for 2010, the Pontiac brand was sputtering to an agonized halt during its final year and there was no chance of the Firebird's return. This car is a fairly ordinary coupe, though it does have the mid-grade 205-horsepower 5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block V8 instead of the base 140-horse 3.1-liter V6. A 5.7-liter small-block was available as well. A five-speed manual transmission was base equipment, but few Americans wanted a three-pedal setup by the early 1990s. This car has the optional four-speed automatic. The MSRP with 5.0 engine, automatic transmission and air conditioning (which this car has) started at $14,304. That's about $31,868 in 2023 dollars. It was built at Van Nuys Assembly in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County. By the dawn of the 1990s, the Camaros and Firebirds made at Van Nuys Assembly had become known as the worst-built GM cars made in North America, and the plant was shut down forever soon after this car was built. Today, a shopping mall lives where the factory once stood. This car managed to drive more than 150,000 miles during its life, so it beat the odds. The thrid-gen F-Body was pretty antiquated by the early 1990s, but the fourth-gen cars handled better and looked up-to-date for the era.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
