1973 Firebird Formula on 2040-cars
Covington, Georgia, United States
1973 Firebird Formula for sale by private owner. This is a very nice restoration of an original rust free car from Texas. The original color was code 74 (Florentine Red), and it has been repainted the factory color with base coat/clear coat. The pictures will speak for the paint job; it is professionally done. There are no issues with rust or bubbling of paint. The trim code is 247; deluxe oxblood vinyl. The color combination is very striking; gets lots of attention at any cruise- in or car show. The Formula drives just as good as it looks; factory air and a nice stereo compliment the ride.
This is a Formula 350 and it still has the original engine in the car. The current mileage is 64,991; but due to reviewing previous service records, I believe the Firebird has rolled over to 164,991. The engine was pulled and had a complete rebuild in May of 2006; it performs very well with no issues. This was done around the 150,000 mile mark. Please note the orignallity of the air cleaner and fresh air intake for the car. New brakes, mufflers, heater core, shocks, etc. were also done is this time period. American Racing Torque Thrusts are currently on the car; 16's on the front and 17's on the rear. A real nice combination against the paint color. Everthing works on the car; we drive it locally and to the visit our children.
Although the interior was in pretty good shape, I chose to improve on it by lining the floors with Dynamat, replace the carpet; replace a reproduction console with a real one, and install Legenday seat covers. I have several pictures that show the work. It is a manual window car; the seat belts are all there and functional, and the radio is a modern unit that was professionally installed in the stock location. The drivers side window had a nasty scratch; I replaced it with a new one.
This is the real deal, Formula Firebird; 1973 is one of the most desirable and the most valuable years. Please feel free to call me with any questions or set up a time to inspect and drive the car. But, please do this before the bid ends, you will be bidding to buy. Randy 770/634-3093 I would like to answer a couple of common questions that were asked. The bottom of the car has no rust; in fact, the undercoating is still present and in good shape (picture added). I have also added pictures of the trunk; one with the original mat and one showing the clean and rust free floor. The way to check for the original block in this car is to look for the VIN stamped into the lower front of the block. The number is on the block; it is very clear and matches the VIN of the car. |

Autoblog Classifieds finds: 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT
Tue, May 15 2018Autoblog's free Readers' Used Car Classifieds section is a great place to list your car for sale, and because these are readers, they often list really interesting cars. Occasionally we find interesting listings, and tell you what's special about them. This 1987 Pontiac Fiero was listed for sale at the time of this writing, but if the listing expires by the time you read this, feel free to browse for other great finds. Thirty years after General Motors stopped building it, the Pontiac Fiero might have finally emerged from the darkness. First, it was a humble commuter car that just happened to be a mid-engined coupe, then it was a re-skinnable basis for Fierorraris or other slightly strange kit cars, and then it made some Worst Cars of All Time lists due to its econobox ingredients, including its Chevy Citation suspension parts. But after a few decades, even the most mediocre car will become interesting as most of the examples built have been run into the ground; why not then the Fiero? The story of the Fiero is paralleled by a number of GM products, as it improved constantly the longer it was built, and by the time of the last model years it was quite decent indeed. And then the plug was pulled. The Fiero might not be a Toyota MR2 or even a Fiat X1/9, but it was made in two body styles, the notchback and the fastback, the latter of which looks especially good now. The Fiero also remains quite affordable, and the plastic body panels do not rust, unlike with the two aforementioned cars. This 1987 car advertised for sale at Autoblog Classifieds does not yet benefit from the 1988 cars' improved suspension, but thanks to its low, low 47,000-mile odometer reading, it looks to be in tip-top shape. The automatic transmission is just the three-speed affair, though, rendering the V6 car here more of a cruiser than a fiery hot canyon carver. Perhaps that has contributed to its good condition, along with the lack of possibly leaky T-tops. Could the Fiero have aged better than your Hall & Oates tapes?

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
