This car was a project of mine for a while, but times have changed and I need to find it a good home. I have replaced\rebuilt many things on this car. In the front, the headlight motors have been rebuilt and the radiator has been replaced. In the rear, just about everything in the engine compartment is either new or rebuilt. A professionally rebuilt 3.4L V6 (from a 1995 Camaro) was professionally installed. This included new or rebuilt alternator, starter, AC compressor, water pump and fuel injectors. The Transmission was also professionally rebuilt complete with new detent cable from Rodney Dickman. Other 3.4 Conversion parts, like the oil filter adapter and idler pulley were also purchased new from Rodney Dickman. (For those new to the Fiero, Rodney Dickman is a well known supplier of quality Fiero conversion parts. The battery is also new. The "Fiero" branded intake plenum and valve covers have been re-powder coated red in order to preserve the original look of the engine. There have been many other small upgrades, such as upgrading the vacuum lines to stainless steel.

Inside, the seats show less than expected wear and tear. The plastic areas of the dashboard have some signs of warping, but little to no cracking. I have installed an after-market Sony media center stereo with an iPod dock, Bluetooth phone\mp3 connection, and Sirius Satellite radio. There is no cassette or CD player, as there is a tray to store your iPod\phone. The interior door panels and passenger-side dashboard trim are in great shape.

Outside, there is some paint chipping around the sunroof, but there are no leaks. For those not familiar with the Fiero, it may look like rust, but it is just paint chipped away over the fiberglass. The looks like it was in a minor accident in the passenger-side rear bumper. This occurred before I purchased it in 2008. The rear fascia has the most damage, with some very slight cracking in the passenger-side rear tail-light cover. The reflector that is missing from the rear bumper is included with the car.

The AC system is intact and functioning , but it is not charged and has not been converted from R-12.

The tires\wheels are in great shape. The rear calipers have been replaced. The front calipers have some issues and need to be replaced.

All in all, this is a fun car to drive. The bigger 3.4L engine gives this car some real spunk compared to the stock 2.8L.

Buyer must arrange for local pickup and\or transportation

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

'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.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
