The car was originally a V6 firebird. The donor car was a 99 formula that i had owned since 2007. The conversion was done in April 2013. I bought it from the original owner. The undercarriage has zero rust. I'm selling it because of the common situation of having kids and not having time for the car anymore.
Engine: The longblock is an 01/02 LQ4 6.0L with approximately 30k miles on it. The heads and intake are from a 2010 camaro with .040" Cometic head gaskets and ARP head bolts. The cam is a Comp 226/230 .598.600 114LSA with Patriot dual springs, FAST 39# injectors, LS2 timing chain, Melling high pressure oil pump, aftermarket lid with K&N filter(comes with spare filter), Comtech 90mm TB, LS2 MAF, Pacesetter long tube headers, 3" X-pipe with V-bands, dynomax bullets in the middle, tail pipes under the axle, Magnaflowish 4x9x14 mufflers and Borla 4.5" single tips. Cruise control module is included but needs to be wired up due to differences in wiring harness. Comes with LC-1 wideband O2 sensor setup(not installed). The car isn't bad on the street, but it definitely needs to be tuned to maximize power and efficiency. It also has a brand new oil pan gasket. Transmission/Rear-end: junk yard 4L60e with unknown mileage, huge B&M cooler, custom TCI 3200 stall(tight on the street, but gets into the power band when needed), corvette servo, poly trans mount, steel drive shaft, Auburn posi, 3.23's. Chassis/Suspension: Eibach Prokit, BMR front sway bar, BMR strut tower brace, BMR welded subframe connectors, BMR chromoly rear control arms, BMR adjustable panhard bar, poly lower control arm bushings, The rear airbags have the valve stems run through the bottom license plate holes. The rear sway bar is included but wont fit with current exhaust setup. The rack&pinion has a brand new seal kit in it. The front hub assemblies are fairly new. The tires are falken 275/40/17's with about 30% tread left. Interior/Electronics: The gauge cluster from the donor car has 150k miles, but the body itself actually has closer to 170k miles. The upper dash panel is brand new. I kept the cloth seats, because they're more comfortable than leather during Texas summers, and the driver's seat also has angle adjustment. I deleted the ash tray, but it needs to be repainted again due to the filler shrinking. The deck is a JVC with an external input for iPods, etc. The factory speakers are still in the car, but i'm including the Boston Acoustics 6.5's i had in the old car. The subwoofer is a powered Bazooka 10", which is run with RCA cables and has a volume knob on the side of the center console. The headliner has a couple of tears in it from when i fit an assembled bowflex inside the car with the hatch closed. The passenger visor was missing when i got the car, and it never bothered me. The console lid needs to be replaced or re-glued. The passenger T-top/door seal needs to be replaced, because it leaks during really bad rain storms. The antenna has been removed, because the gear was stripped, and i never used the radio anyway. The door panels have the typical cracks on the top. Body/Exterior: The car is in over-all excellent cosmetic condition for its age. It comes with the front filler panel with the bird on it, but the license plate is still underneath. the front bumper has a few touch-up spots. the quarter panels have a few dings and scratches. the paint on the side moldings is starting to fade... i would just remove them if i were keeping the car. the passenger taillamp has a hairline crack, but it has no moisture in it. The wheels are factory 01/02 WS6 speedline wheels. Anti-theft/Keyless entry: The body control module, airbag inflator module and ignition key pellet were transferred from the donor car as well. This means there are no malfunction indicator lamps illuminated on the dash, because all the modules are still synced with each other. It also allows the vehicle anti-theft system(VATS), keyless entry, and factory alarm from the donor car to be fully functional. HVAC: The A/C compressor, orifice tube, and accumulator are all brand new. So the A/C is very cold. The heater also works very well. In my opinion, these are both absolute necessities for a daily driver in South Texas. On Dec-16-13 at 09:18:11 PST, seller added the following information: The car was originally a V6 firebird. The

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials
Fri, Sep 11 2015Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
