This would be a great car for a V8 Swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1987 Pontiac Fiero.2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission.I am selling car as a project car.When I purchased the car it had been sitting for a couple years inside of a shed.I cleaned out the gas tank and installed a new fuel pump and fuel filter.I also replaced the fuel pump relay and the water temperature sensor.I put in a new battery and the car started with no problem . I drove the car around the block a few times then parked in the garage. 2 days later I tried to start it and it would not start.I shot it with starting fluid and it started and ran for a few seconds then stopped.I tried starting it again with out the fluid and it did start after cranking for a while. It ran like it was running on only 2 cylinders.At this point in time due to my health and money issues I just want to sell the car and ,get back some of the money I have in it. The body of the car is in good condition.The only damage I can see are 2 cracks in the driver side plastic rocker panel. The paint looks to be original.Donot expect a show car paint job.There are some scratches and paint nicks .To be expected on a car this old.The interior is in good condition but does have some fading color areas.The only bad spot on the seats is on the driver side.Seam on back of seat near edge by the door is starting to open up.Looks like it could be repaired.Interiror is dirty and needs to be cleaned .Seats are in car but nut tightened down.This is the way I got it just never got to doing anything inside of car.The only thing missing inside is the head liner. Should not be hard to find or fabricate one.Other ares of the interior just need to be tucked in and tightened down.The motor did run very good before I shut it off and it would not start.The transmission is in very good condition.Shifted through all gears with no grinding or any other noise.The brakes worked ok for a car that had been sitting for so many years but, I would turn the rotors and replace all the pads.Wheels are decent but not great.Tires need to be replaced.Front tires hold air but, are old and craking.Rear tire are old and dry rotted.They will hold air for a couple hours.After a couple hours they go flat.This is a decent car if some one wants to put a little time into it.Get the engine in it running and it would be a great every day car.This would also be a great car for a V8 Swap.THE PROBLEM AREAS I HAVE DESCRIBED IN WRITING I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PICTURES. PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURES BEFORE BIDDING. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS. I WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS IS A USED CAR AND IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITH NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND!

Michigan floods from breached dams consume Pontiac Fiero collection
Thu, May 21 2020“WeÂ’ve never had an event like this,” Michigan's city manager Brad Kaye said in a Detroit News story. "What we're looking at is an event that is the equivalent of a 500-year flood." Kaye is referencing the catastrophic flood that occurred in central Michigan this week after heavy rainfall was compounded by two breached dams on the Tittabawassee River. Reports say the flooding forced evacuation of up to 10,000 residents, swallowed entire towns, and destroyed thousands of properties. No casualties have been reported, according to the Detroit Free Press, but car enthusiasts will be sad to learn a Pontiac Fiero shop and collection called Forever Fieros was decimated by the natural disaster. The Tittabawassee River is located about two hours, or roughly 140 miles, north of Detroit. It starts 20-30 miles further north and flows southeast as a tributary to the Saginaw Bay Watershed. Along the way, the Tittabawassee is held up by several dams, including the Edenville dam that failed and the Sanford dam that was breached during torrential downpours. According to NPR, the federal government took away the Edenville dam's license in 2018 and suggested it could not last through a major flood. Unfortunately, that prediction was proven accurate. Forever Fieros is located in Sanford, Michigan, which is just below Sanford Lake, which is created by the Sanford dam. So when the Edenville dam north of Sanford broke, water from Wixom Lake flooded Sanford Lake, and a berm next to the Sanford dam was overwhelmed, according to MLive. Technically the dam did not fail, but the end result was the same: an entire town underwater. The Tittabawassee reportedly crested at 35 feet, or 10 feet above flood level and 1.1 feet higher than the previous record set in 1986. According to The Drive, the man in charge of Forever Fieros, Tim Evans, had time to attempt to save his vehicles from floodwater. He reportedly moved about 12 cars to a street that doesn't typically flood, but the water level was simply too high for that to matter. A floating pole barn also reportedly struck and damaged the Forever Fieros building. Worsening the situation is the fact that Evans was planning to hold an auction to sell many of the Fieros. As seen on Industrial Bid, he planned to sell 12 Fieros, Fiero GTs and a Fiero Formula, ranging from 1984 through 1988. The lots included a 1984 pace car, a Lamborghini Countach kit car, and a Fiero Cosworth Pontiac Super Duty 16-valve DOHC engine.
Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect
Tue, Apr 1 2014General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.
