This would be a great car for a V8 Swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1987 Pontiac Fiero.2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission.I am selling car as a project car.When I purchased the car it had been sitting for a couple years inside of a shed.I cleaned out the gas tank and installed a new fuel pump and fuel filter.I also replaced the fuel pump relay and the water temperature sensor.I put in a new battery and the car started with no problem . I drove the car around the block a few times then parked in the garage. 2 days later I tried to start it and it would not start.I shot it with starting fluid and it started and ran for a few seconds then stopped.I tried starting it again with out the fluid and it did start after cranking for a while. It ran like it was running on only 2 cylinders.At this point in time due to my health and money issues I just want to sell the car and ,get back some of the money I have in it. The body of the car is in good condition.The only damage I can see are 2 cracks in the driver side plastic rocker panel. The paint looks to be original.Donot expect a show car paint job.There are some scratches and paint nicks .To be expected on a car this old.The interior is in good condition but does have some fading color areas.The only bad spot on the seats is on the driver side.Seam on back of seat near edge by the door is starting to open up.Looks like it could be repaired.Interiror is dirty and needs to be cleaned .Seats are in car but nut tightened down.This is the way I got it just never got to doing anything inside of car.The only thing missing inside is the head liner. Should not be hard to find or fabricate one.Other ares of the interior just need to be tucked in and tightened down.The motor did run very good before I shut it off and it would not start.The transmission is in very good condition.Shifted through all gears with no grinding or any other noise.The brakes worked ok for a car that had been sitting for so many years but, I would turn the rotors and replace all the pads.Wheels are decent but not great.Tires need to be replaced.Front tires hold air but, are old and craking.Rear tire are old and dry rotted.They will hold air for a couple hours.After a couple hours they go flat.This is a decent car if some one wants to put a little time into it.Get the engine in it running and it would be a great every day car.This would also be a great car for a V8 Swap.THE PROBLEM AREAS I HAVE DESCRIBED IN WRITING I HAVE TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PICTURES. PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PICTURES BEFORE BIDDING. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS. I WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS IS A USED CAR AND IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITH NO GUARANTEE OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND!

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Pontiac Solstice
Wed, Sep 4 2019The debut of the Pontiac Solstice, back in 2005 for the 2006 model year, stirred up much excitement in the automotive world. Sales were brisk at first, and then they weren't so great… and then Pontiac itself went under The General's cost-cutting axe. One thing I have learned during my junkyard travels is that even sought-after sports cars eventually reach a point at which they start showing up in the big self-service junkyards. For example, the BMW Z3 began appearing in such yards about five years ago, along with the Audi TT. While the Honda S2000 still appears to be exempt from this process, today's Junkyard Gem shows that the time has now come for the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky. The first Z3s and TTs I saw in the U-Wrench-type yards were crash victims, not worth fixing, and that's the case with this Solstice. In a few more years, I'll start seeing the occasional Solstice/Sky discarded due to general worn-outness. Someone grabbed all the undented front body parts and the transmission (these items, presumably, being valuable), but no junkyard shoppers have felt like pulling the non-turbo 2.0-liter Ecotec. The interior seems dirty, probably from exposure to the elements while sitting outdoors in this Colorado Springs wrecking yard, but not in bad shape otherwise. Perhaps the car's owner celebrated a return from Iraq with the purchase of a sporty new Pontiac, 13 years ago. These cars have an enthusiastic following, so I wasn't expecting to see a junked one so soon after production ceased. I felt the same way about the Chrysler Crossfire, however, and I found two of those last year. What's next, a 2002-2005 Thunderbird? This content is hosted by a third party.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
Porsche Sports Car Together Fest is a labor of many Porsche loves
Sat, Sep 17 2022Over Labor Day Weekend, Porsche held its second annual Sports Car Together Fest (SCTF) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We happened to be nearby, so we swung by to check out an event we’d never heard of until a few weeks before. Reading about it on Porsche's U.S. web site made us think it would be something like Rennsport Reunion for the Midwest. Turns out SCTF is just as much of a different kind of fun. The fest Tom MooreÂ’s the man behind Dark Horse Motorsports, the motorsport consultant for Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) PR. "People love Rennsport Reunion, but thatÂ’s every three to four years," he explained. “We wanted to gather people on those off years, and we didn't want to just do a mini Rennsport, because thatÂ’s its own thing. WeÂ’ve maintained the motorsport history at Rennsport. Here [at SCTF], we're doing the current look at what Porsche racing is for." In this case, that means gathering what Moore called "our Porsche motorsport pyramid." ThatÂ’s the range of enthusiast drivers from novice to hotshoes trying to get to top-tier endurance racing, "[starting] with the progression from Porsche Club of America track days up to the top of the ladder of one-make racing in North America," the Carrera Cup North America, a series made up of nothing but the latest 500-horsepower 911 GT3 Cup cars. The three days of racing action allowed almost any kind of Porsche owner interested in clipping apexes to compete around an Indianapolis Motor Speedway layout tweaked with an infield section. This year, that included ex-NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, coming out of retirement to reunite with his longtime NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham for the top-class Cup races. Evernham told us Gordon hasnÂ’t raced in five years and he hasnÂ’t been a crew chief in 22. On very short practice, Gordon finished in 14th in the Pro Class in the first Carrera Cup race of the weekend driving the #24 Hendrick Performance Group Porsche, and 11th in the second race. Afterward, he said, "I made a pass on the white flag lap. That made my whole weekend Â… I must say that yesterday, I thought ‘man, I am getting beat out hereÂ’ and I donÂ’t like that. If I am going to be in an environment like this, I want to be competitive. But today turned the corner for me. So, I hope I get to do another one day." When we strolled the paddock after the event, exposed sheet metal proved "Rubbing is racing" is a thing in the Carrera Cup as well as NASCAR.
