1984 Pontiac Fiero Like Ferrari 308gtb Mera Stinger Style Kit Car Rust Free Az on 2040-cars
1984 Fiero Kit Kar / Ferrari 308GTB Up for auction: as you'll see in the pics its an unfinished project with endless possibilities for the next owner. Starting life as a nice rust free Fiero, body panels started coming off while new fiberglass pieces started going back on. This kit did come out of Canada, originally we thought it was a Stinger or Mera kit but after doing more research turns out not to be either. Nevertheless its still one of the nicer conversions Ive seen. Have a Ferrari 308 style car at a fraction of the price with our super low reserve. Make it even better with possibly a better more reliable and better power plant in the back. V8 conversions on these cars now a days are much more simple and less costly too. Car comes with a box or OE Parts taken off and another box of fiberglass parts yet to be installed. DRIVETRAIN: The motor is a stock Fiero 2.4L 4 cyl matted to the stock 4 spd. It ran when parked but when I tried to crank it over recently, theres no power getting to the starter so could need an ignition switch or possibly just a wire off or cut somewhere. Motor spins over by hand. No promises on its condition. The exhaust was already done to mimic the Ferrari look. Lots of people put Northstar V8s in these cars and there are plenty of conversion kits on the market to help you with the job. Also, there are lots of donar cars out there now available whether you want to go LT1, LS1 or Caddy aluminum V8 All which are 300+ HP easily. INTERIOR: is showing its age from sitting in the Az sun for many yrs. Mostly complete, but Im sure it will need restoration during the completion of the project. Factory GM large sunroof car too. Door panels are gone, this was a factory AC car making it nicer for the build. SUSPENSION: All stock Fiero components, last owner had cut the stock springs for a small drop. The rims are a focal point, they are custom 15" Cheviot rims made in Australia, and have a nice Ferrari OE look to them. Tires are old BFGs. BODY: Fiberglass Ferrari body kit has been partially installed onto what looks to have been a great original Fiero body with no signs of accidents or rust ever. The project was started back in the 80s and left unfinished sometime in the 90s where it sat here in Az. You can see on the back hatch area where someone damaged the hatch area trying to open it. Ferrari style door handles already installed and work well. EMAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE THE PICS BELOW SPEAK VOLUMES but Im sure I may of overlooked some stuff. Check out over 125 pics below, be patient it may take a minute or 2 for them to all load. Low reasonable Reserve Bid Early and bid smart so you dont lose out !!

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken
Fri, Feb 8 2019Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
