MINT CONDITION, near original 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT with 69,400 on the odometer. Third owner was my Dad, who gave it to me a few years back, always owned and operated by an adult, non-smoking owners, babied and well cared for its entire 26 year life. My Dad is an auto enthusiast and spent countless hours cleaning, detailing, and polishing this car. Original paint, immaculate interior, original motor & transmission…original fun! Heck, even the original “donut” spare tire is up front under the hood; never used.

Equipped with: 2.8 liter V-6, 5 speed manual transmission, air conditioning, power windows, power mirrors, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, original rear wing on trunk lid (rare), factory removable glass sunroof with original NEVER USED sunshade insert (complete with vinyl storage bag under the hood). Custom matching floor mats with “Fiero” embroidered on them.

Maintenance: New front end ball joints and shocks installed 05/2002; new tires installed shortly afterwards 02/2003. The front windshield was showing signs of deterioration and was replaced on 04/2013. New NAPA battery on 07/2013. Since the car is a “fun-time only” vehicle and is never driven in bad weather, it has occasions when it sits for a while, so to prevent the battery from going dead a trickle charger is used; the charger’s leads are incorporated into the battery cables and the charger can be plugged in or unplugged in seconds. Trickle charger included with car.

Modifications: The original seats were replaced by a previous owner with the ones you see, came out of a ’87 GT. Same material, same color as the rest of the interior. Brand new iPod connectable Kenwood stereo system with remote control (still in the bag), and new Kenwood speakers installed by Car Toys in 2013. At that time, power door locks were installed as well. I still have the original factory radio/cassette player and speakers in a box, and will include them to the purchaser if they should wish to convert the car back to original. No other modifications or changes made to this car.

Defects: Very small surface scratches in the paint on the front nose of the car, probably incurred by using vinyl nose bra (included), mostly unnoticeable from 5 feet away. The worst one is shown in a picture, but you still have to look hard and close to see it’s there. Similarly, the rear wing has a couple slight scratches in the clear coat; I can’t even get them to show up on the camera. A good buffing would most likely take those right out. Otherwise, the paint is fantastic for being 26 years old, a testament to good wax and lots of elbow grease! There is also a crack in the driver’s side plastic seatbelt cover. I have a NIB replacement, but never got around to putting it on as it requires removal of the seat to access. The crack is hardly noticeable and has no effect on the functionality, but I am including the part so you can change it if you have the desire to.

Other than that, there is nothing wrong with this car. It starts right up every time, even after sitting for a month or so; the A/C works and is cold; the headlights flip up and down perfectly; sounds great going down the road (ie, no “funny” noises); the interior is mint with no tears, rips, or stains; new stereo sounds awesome no matter what you play through it; never been in an accident, always garaged, owned and cared for by people who appreciate classic cars and know how to preserve them. In short: you will not be disappointed. Don’t let this one slip away!

I will work with you as best I can, and delivering the car to a Portland or Vancouver, WA-based pick up location is do-able.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
