1987 Pointiac Fiero With Supercharged 3.8 V6. on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
I bought this car about 5 years ago, but had trouble navigating the California Air Resource Boards requirements to register vehicles that have had motor swaps, so it has sat in my garage awaiting the day I move out of California or the emission laws change out here. Neither has happened, and now that I've been accepted to grad school out here, I've come to grips with the fact that I have to let go of this car. I'll try to list everything that it still needs below. Despite what's probably going to be a long list, it really is a great car. I drove it around for a few months on the temporary tags, and it really is a blast. I'm sure whoever gets this car is going to have a great time with it. My loss is your gain. Shipping: You have to work out shipping. I will be super accommodating about dates and times, but you have to pick the car up before Aug 1st. Condition: Motor: The car has been extensively modified by the previous owner in order to accommodate the engine-swap. The motor is a 3800 SC from a Buick Regal GS using WCF mounts and the WCF steel flywheel. The swap is common and well-documented on the internet. The motor runs hot and I noticed the previous owner had installed an overdrive pulley on the supercharger. You will likely want to swap it out for the original (included in sale), or run the proper tune for the overdrive pulley. I don't know the actual mileage for the motor or the drivetrain. Exterior: The car was re-sprayed and the paint looks pretty decent from a distance, but there are issues. (See photos.) There is a very large chip on the front nose, probably where the previous owner had used a leather bra. There is a crack on the driver fender where the original paint underneath is exposed. The panels on the car are plastic, though, so rust is not a concern. There are also some white marks where the inconsiderate jerks who share my garage have hit it with their door. Those should buff out. Interior: The entire interior was entirely missing when I purchased the car. The skin on the driver-side door is from a fiero with manual locks so there is a weird hole where the door locks would go and the center console (aka the rear glove compartment) is missing entirely. I recently recovered the headboard and there were never were any sun-visors. Also there is a plastic part called the "spider" that the radio mounts to which has cracked. This can be sourced from a pick-and-pull or purchased from the fiero store. The radio in the picture will ship with the car. Once you replace the spider, you can re-mount the front center console which is all included. There is a small part of the seat which is worn/torn in the spot typical for Fieros from getting in/out. It should be apparent in the pictures. Drivetrain: The car has pretty much sat for five years. You should expect to want to change the tires, replace the battery, and drain and replace the fluids. I did put some gas-tender in the tank, but I don't know how long that stuff lasts for. The last time I started the car was about a year ago when I moved to this apartment complex and I drove it onto the flatbed and into the garage. (The car has been garages the entire time I've owned it.). I probably should mention that when I first got the car, I had to do a pressurized bleed on the clutch master in order to shift properly. Once I bled the system, though I drove it around for a few months with zero problems. I'm going to include a bunch of miscellaneous parts with the car. The previous owner supplied all the air conditioning parts that are needed if you want to install that. I've also bought the custom drilled rotors and (used) corvette brakes for the "big-brake upgrade", which I didn't start. All that will be included with the sale. If there are any questions, please ask. Also, please remember I need you to pick it up by Aug 1. Thanks. |

Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo
Tue, Jan 10 2017The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

Remember when Pontiac made a Trans Am Kammback grocery getter?
Thu, Nov 8 2018Despite muscle cars having strong reputations as some of the most impractical cars one can buy, they've occasionally had one of the most useful and practical features a car can sport: a hatchback. In the 1980s, General Motors' Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird had one, and it added respectable utility to the sports cars. But the people at GM thought they could make the F-Body cars even more useful. So, after a few clay-model experiments, Pontiac built three examples of an extended-roof 1985 Pontiac Trans Am Kammback concept. Spotted by GM Authority, one of these Trans Am Kammbacks (although "shooting brake" seems like the more apt descriptor) is going on the block at the Mecum Kissimmee auction in early January 2019. Reportedly only three of these prototypes/experiments/test mules were built to driveable specs, and this example, VIN No. EX4796, has additional history that might make it the ultimate example. According to Mecum, the show car, which has made appearances at numerous auto shows, also spent some time at the race track — just not as a participant. It was used as a pace car for PPG and IMSA racing and temporarily had a light bar and "two-way communications equipment." Following its pace duty, and after GM stopped the project from going any further, it was put into Pontiac Engineering's private collection for 13 years. Famous Michigan car collector and Pontiac dealership owner John McMullen then bought the car. He eventually sent it to Pontiac specialist Scott Tiemann for a full restoration to the gorgeous condition it is in today. As seen in the photos, the Trans Am features white paint over a gray leather interior. It houses a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood and has a five-speed manual transmission. The wild concept is rare enough to be super cool, but we can't help but think of an infinitely more practical, more modern, more powerful, and arguably more interesting car we'd rather have. Manual Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon in Black Diamond anybody? Or, if you don't care about the extra doors, perhaps the Callaway's Corvette AeroWagen is more applicable. Either way, we're in full support of any shooting brakes we can find. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
