Pontiac Fiero Gt 1988 5 Spd Manual, Sunroof, 69,400 Orig. Miles, on 2040-cars
Tualatin, Oregon, United States
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! Legal: $500 deposit is required to be made into my PayPal account within 48 hours (two days) of auction close. Final payment of remaining balance may be made by your choice of cash, PayPal transfer, or cashier’s check ONLY. Car title will not be released until full payment has been made and has cleared the bank. Once the $500 deposit has been made, you have two weeks (14 days) to come collect the car; car is located in Tualatin, Oregon (25 miles SW of Portland). If you wish to have the car delivered, all arrangements and payment for such must be made by the PURCHASER. 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. HOWEVER, and please note, I will not allow the car to be shipped UNTIL final payment has been made and cleared. Once I receive the final payment, I will send the title and a bill of sale via FedEx Next Day delivery. Please ask ANY and all questions, especially if you are unsure on anything or need further clarification. Due to my odd work schedule, I am not usually able to be reached by phone, but I check my e-mail daily and can usually answer your questions within 24 hours of being asked. Thanks for looking.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
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.
2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags
Sat, Jan 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.
