1992 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Convertible 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States
|
For sale is a 1992 Trans Am Convertible that had an engine fire. This was a show car until a fuel regulator blew out in 2009. The regulator had been replaced 4 years earlier. I still believe the ethanol in the gas was the problem, but I cannot prove that. The fire was put out, but everything in the engine compartment had been burned up and the damage has been removed. There is probably some damage in the dash also, but these parts are available. I had planned on repairing the car, and have a donor car to provide the parts, but health issues got in the way. I acquired another car that is basically the same. I would like to see the car restored and they only made 663 of these cars:
http://www.thirdgen.org/1992-pontiac-firebird?s=3ba6e130aab0f202188c7b24a947bd55& I have two of them. This car had just undergone a complete paint job with bodywork and was like new. It caught fire on the way to a show. The body is fine. The hood is gone and will need another one. The black hood in the picture does not go with the car. I pulled the engine/trans out. You can have these although the engine is not assembled. You might want to keep the block. It will need a new rotating assembly, or put in an LS engine, like one of the 5.3L engines that are plentiful. I have the front bumper and nose. There are some great parts on this car. It has the gold wheels and all the plastic parts. The car originally had the special leather seats and performance options. I ended up putting in later model seats. The engine was a 5.0 TPI engine. You can have the parts for that also. When the fire was put out, the fire hose doused the inside of the car under the dash to make sure it was out. Even though it may look bad, this is not a rust bucket, it has a nice body, and it is a very rare car. Whoever purchases the car will have to arrange pickup. If I do not sell the car by May 17, 2014, I will part the car out and use the parts for my other cars. The tail lights alone are worth $600. Just to show you, the car was an Autorama winner: http://cars.ontimesupport.com/autorama-houston-2006/92TA-GIRLS2.JPG http://cars.ontimesupport.com/autorama-houston-2006/DOUG-92TA-1.JPG I will be happy to answer any questions and I have a lot of knowledge about these cars. I also have all the records on this one. |

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
6 car mashups that God never intended
Sat, May 17 2014In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.
