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!

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

2020 Porsche 911 Speedster spied with an angry driver

Wed, Feb 13 2019

Porsche gave us details and showed us a concept of the 911 Speedster at the Paris Motor Show. Today, we bring you spy shots of what appears to be the production version of that concept with a few changes on board. They're rather minimal modifications, but the Speedster's driver appears especially angry with our spy photographer as he extends his middle finger directly toward the camera. Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Test Driver. Public testing of pre-production cars always comes with photo risks, and Porsches tend to attract more attention than others. You'll notice what appears to be a Cayenne Coupe prototype we've previously spotted running around with the 911. The Speedster Concept we saw in Paris had epic retro mirrors and fuel cap on the front hood, but both those design touches are absent from this pre-production car. It's tougher to see, but we lost the vents in between the two humps, as well. Everything else appears to have made it to production-spec. We can't say we're surprised these concept car features probably won't show up on the production car, but it is a tad deflating. You'll notice the Speedster is based-off the 991.2 generation of 911 and not the new 992. Porsche did a similar thing when the 997 generation was coming to an end with a Speedster model paying tribute to that car's life. The chassis is said to utilize parts from the 911 GT3, and the wonderful naturally aspirated flat-six engine gets carried over from that car, too. Porsche didn't specify if power will be exactly the same as the GT3, but we'll be expecting about 500 horsepower and a 9,000 rpm redline. We were told the six-speed manual would be offered on the Speedster in Paris, too. Let's just say that we strongly approve of that combination. Production will be limited to only 1,948 cars and begin in the first half of this year. We'll expect a reveal with a full spec breakdown soon, possibly for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car

Mon, Nov 30 2020

Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video:   Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics
