 GOING TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER IS MY FERRARI 308 GTB REPLICA KIT CAR. BUILT ON A MODIFIED 1986 FIERO CHASSIE. THE CHASSIE WAS LENGTHENED TO REPLICATE THE EXACT WHEEL BASE AS THE ORIGINAL FERRARI 308. IT IS POWERED BY A GM 2.8 FUEL INJECTED V-6, WITH 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ENGINE WAS REPLACED BY THE PERVIOUS OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHICH STATED AND SUPPLIED ME WITH A INVOICE FROM THE SALVAGE YARD THAT THE MOTOR HAD 63XXX MILES ON IT. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE LAST OWNER THE CAR WOULD NOT RUN CORRECTLY AS SOME MECHANIC OR AT LEAST HE CLAIMED TO BE A MECHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE VACCUME LINES, THE INTAKE GASKET LEAKING, AND THE BROKEN EGR PIPE . I BOUGHT IT WITH INTENTION OF RESTOREING IT COMPLETLY AND DRIVING IT. INSTEAD I GOT IT RUNNING AND DRIVING AND FIGURED OUT I CANT FIT IN THE CAR THAT WELL. AS FOR THE REST OF THE CAR THE INTERIOR IS IN DECENT SHAPE BESIDES THE HEADLINER. IT DOES HAVE AFTERMARKET RACING BUCKET SEATS. ALL INTERIOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD. PRESSENTLY THE A/C IS NOT WORKING. THE BELT WAS MISSING OFF THE COMPRESSOR WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND I JUST NEVER GOT AROUND TO PUCHASING THE BELT AND INSTALLING IT. THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR IS ALL THERE, AND THERE IS NO CRACKS IN THE FIBERGLASS BODY. IT APPEARS IT WAS PAINTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BY THE PERVIOUS OWNER WHO LEFT IT OUT SIDE UNCOVERED SO IT IS KIND OF SUN FADED AND PEELING HAS BEGAN TO START ON THE ROOF BEHIND THE SUN ROOF. THERE IS ALSO SOME PEELING OF PAINT ON THE LOWER ROCKER PANEL CLOSE TO THE FRONT DRIVERS FENDER, BUT NO ROT ( THE BEAUTY OF FIBERGLASS). ALSO THERE IS SOME PEELING PAINT ON THE FUEL DOOR. THERE ARE (4) 1/4 INCH HOLES IN THE DECK LID FROM A WING I'D ASSUME THAT ONCE WAS INSTALLED.  IF I COULD HAVE FIT IN THE VEHICLE I PERSONALY WOULD HAVE BLOCK SANDED THE CAR, RE PRIMED IT, AND THE GAVE IT THE ARREST ME RED PAINT JOB IT DESERVES. TIRES ON THE REAR OF THE CAR ARE LIKE NEW CONDITION; THE FRONTS HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD BUT ARE DRY CRAKING ON THE SIDEWALLS.  

 

SO HERES WHAT IT NEEDS: HEAD LIGHT MOTOR NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE (2) GOOD USED ONES THAT GO WITH THE CAR. INTAKE TUBE FROM THE THROTTLE BODY IS SOME HOME MADE CRAP FROM THE OLD OWNER ID REPLACE IT. A (AFTER MARKET INTAKE TUBE AND FILTER WOULD DO JUST FINE AND ARE CHEAP $30 DOLLARS OR SO). THE IAT CONTROL SHOULD BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE INTAKE. A SET OF VITALONI BABY TURBO SIDE MIRROR. THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR ON CAR WAS MISSING WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND VITALONI HAS SINCE DISCONTINUED THE MODEL MIRROR THAT STILL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR. SET OF FRONT TIRES. SOME NEETING UP IN THE ENGINE BAY . AND PAINT. I HAVENT DRIVIN THE CAR THAT FAR FOR THAT LONG AS IT IS JUST TO SMALL FOR ME. I CAN SAY I HAVE PUT ABOUT 50 MILES ON IT WITH OUT ANY HEADACH. BUT I WOULD RECOMEND TRAILERING IT HOME IF YOUR TRAVELING ANY GREAT DISTANCE TO PICK IT UP.  

 

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ASK THEM. REMEBER THIS CAR IS ALMOST 28 YEARS OLD, AND IS NOT BEING SOLD WITH A WARRENTY. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE WHO LIVES CLOSE ENOUGH OR IS A SERIOUS BUYER TO CALL ME @ 860-880-0012 TO SET UP A TIME FOR INSPECTION. I WILL SUPPLY MORE PICTURE BY REQUEST. PLEASE ATTACH YOU EMAIL ADDRESS IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE PICTURES FOWARD TO YOU. THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS! WERE IS ! IT IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME.

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe

Sat, Jun 11 2022

General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, 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:

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
