Hi and thank you for looking at my auction.  Up for bids is my 1992 Jamaica Yellow 5.7 (350ci) Formula Firebird hardtop.  I have owned this car for about three years and my family and I have thoroughly enjoyed it., but it is now time for someone else to enjoy it as much as we have.  I have described below the different aspects of this car.

Documentation - If you know are familiar with third gen Pontiacs, you already know that a Jamaica Yellow Formula is a tough car to find.  According to the compnine.com database, there were 11 Jamaica Yellow Formulas made with the 5.7 engine.  Nine were T-tops and two were hardtops.  This is one of the two.  I have the original build sheet that was with the car showing the code 52Q Jamaica Yellow paint, L98 5.7 liter engine and G80 posi-traction among other options when it was shipped.  I also have a copy of the original invoice from the GM archives and one trim sheet.  This car was a GM PEP program car that was charged to the Design Studio and shipped to the Pontiac Motor Engineering field fleet. It was built in September 1991 sold through GM Auction Sales in early 1992.  I also have the owners manual with original selling sales reps business card and a 1992 Pontiac full line catalog.  I also have various maintenance receipts and the contact information of two prior owners.  The CARFAX and AUTOCHECK are clean.  I have a clean Georgia title in hand.

Exterior - The exterior appears to be original, and as can be seen in the photos shows exceptionally well for 22 year old paint with very good shine.  The rear urethane aero spoiler has a few dime size spots of clear coat flaking and the urethane nose still has decent shine, but has faded a bit and there are marks on it and a tear on the left front corner. I have documented this in a photo. There are a few small spots where there is surface rust on the exterior.  I am a picky person and as a yardstick, when I purchased the car I had a quote from a local body shop to repair all of these areas for $500, but it looks good enough for cruising and local shows so I just never had it done.  The floor pans, shock towers and fender wells are clean with only surface rust where the primer/paint was sprayed thin on the underside from the factory.  I removed the front wheel well liners to inspect the fender/firewall/rocker panel areas as there is no rust.  I am probably over-emphasizing the spots on the exterior, but I just want to give the next owner an accurate representation.  I had a new windshield installed shortly after buying the car, as the original had a small crack in it.

Interior - The interior is exceptionally nice and clean and looks like a car with half the miles.  When I purchased the car, it had black seat covers on the front seats that appear to have been on the car its entire life.  The cloth on the front seats look very nice and the rear seats have had very little use.  The factory roll up rear security shade is present.  The factory carpet is very nice and the original GM mats are still present and in very good condition. The headliner is tight with no sags, the radio and cassette player work as they should.  The dash and console have no cracks. The A/C is ice cold, the rear hatch pull down works as do all the interior lights.

Engine and Drivetrain - The factory 5.7 liter engine starts up and runs great with no smoke or hesitation.  I had a new starter installed by an ASE repair shop last week as the old starter seemed to be getting tired and slow.  While it was there they checked the belts, hoses, alternator and battery and all were good.  The transmission shifts nicely with no hesitation on the shift points.  The car had an aftermarket Hawks exhaust on it when I purchased it and I had an entire factory N10 dual exhaust which I had put on the car in May of 2013.  It runs cool, never getting over 190, even in the summer with the A/C on in South Georgia.  The tires are Kumhos and have deep tread.  The factory black crosslace wheels (which were required with the 5.7 engine) are of nice driver quality and have great shine. The photo of the one wheel is representative of all four wheels.


In summary, this is a very rare, nicely documented third gen Pontiac that is a very popular one year only color, 5.7 liter engine, hardtop, and complete with under 100k miles.  This car is a nice driver as is and deserves to one day be disassembled and treated to a full restoration, which was my plan, but I have now decided to sell it to concentrate on other things in life.  This is a 7 day auction and has a reasonable reserve.  I require a $500 down payment via PAYPAL within 24 hours of auctions end.  The balance must be paid in full and cleared at my bank or paid with cash at time of pick up.  I will be glad to store the car at my home garage for a couple of weeks until shipping arrangements can be made.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 229-392-7111.  My name is Jason and thanks again for looking at my auction!

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek

Tue, Jul 11 2017

Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.

Burt Reynolds’ former 1978 ‘Smokey’ Pontiac Trans Am in big auction by feds

Mon, Oct 21 2019

A 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds as a memento of the car he drove in the film “Smokey and the Bandit” will be among nearly 150 muscle cars and luxury vehicles seized from the alleged perpetrators of an $800 million investment scheme that will hit the auction block this weekend in California. ItÂ’s said to be the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals, seized late last year from Jeff and Paulette Carpoff, the founders of the now-defunct mobile solar generators company DC Solar. Two employees of the San Francisco Bay Area solar energy company, certified public accountant Ronald Roach, 53, and general contractor Joseph Bayliss, 44, both of the Bay Area. pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in what federal prosecutors say was a massive scheme that defrauded investors of $1 billion. Both men agreed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. While the Carpoffs, the company's owners, have not been charged, they agreed to let the government auction their collection of 150 classic, performance and luxury vehicles, including the 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds. The replica of the car the late actor drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and the other vehicles are to be auctioned Saturday, with online bidding already pushing the accumulated value past $5.5 million. Bidding on that Trans Am alone had topped $65,000 by late Tuesday. The auction company said it had been driven less than 3,400 miles. It's the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals Service. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden of the Sacramento office called it "a stunning collection of vehicles" that also includes 1990s Humvees, 1960s-era Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros from several decades, plus older cars including a 1939 Buick Roadmaster, a 1951 Chevy Thriftmaster 3100 pickup truck and a 1941 Plymouth Special Delux with wooden doors and trim. “It is rare for the U.S. Marshals to hold an auction of such a stunning collection of vehicles,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden in Sacramento said in a statement. ReynoldsÂ’ former Trans Am is a hardtop memento of the version he drove in the 1977 action comedy. It bears Bandit Run logos in the rear window and upper windshield and appears to have modified suspension components and bucket seats. It comes with a Florida registration with ReynoldsÂ’ name on it, and an autograph on the glove box that reads, “Be Safe!

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
