 Up for sale is a real clean 1988 Pontiac Formula  Fiero with 75800 miles on it. This is a 5 speed manual transmission car with power trunk, tilt wheel working A/C, non sunroof, 2.8 liter engine, aftermarket rims that are rare and from Italy and a removable Sony CD player. The car has front Koni shocks and rear Koni struts, poly upper control arm bushings and new brakes all around. The cars paint shines like glass, but it does have some small scratches and chips in the hood and roof, and maybe 2 or 3 on the body. It also has two small spots that the clear coat in wearing through. The rear spoiler will need a re-paint but the car does not.  The right rear bumper has a small gouge in it that you may or may not see in the pictures. (See pictures.) This is still a 26 year old car. The interior and trim are in great shape and the seats have no rips or stains any where on them. All gauges work as new. The front windshield has a small star but has passed  state inspection with it. All four tires are in great condition. The  New York State inspection is still current on this car.  This car would make a great first car for someone a nice graduation present, or a great commuter car getting over 25 mpg on gas. The 1988 Pontiac Fiero is considered the best year for the Pontiac Fiero, because the front and rear suspension was designed by Lotus motor cars. The Formula model was faster then the fastback GT models, because it wasn't loaded up with the more heavy options of the GT. If you're looking for a show car this car is NOT for you. If you are looking for a nice clean original car with no rust issues,that can be driven to car cruises, go anywhere and needs no work, then this car is for you. Again it's not a show car but a real honest  low mileage nice all around fun car for the money. Bidders with less then a 5 feed back rating must email me with a working phone number or your bid will be removed from this auction. I reserve the right to remove this car from the auction, if sold before the listing has ended. This car has no warrantee and is sold AS IS. You may come and look at this car at anytime before this auction ends. You may also get your deposit back after you buy the car if you don't like it or think I miss represented it on this auction. You will not get your deposit back if you don't come down in person to see it. Please also bid if you intend to buy it. I will only take Pay Pal as a deposit. You can pay the balance by bank check, certified check money order or cash on pick up. The car can be held for you with a larger deposit of $1000, but not more then a month. You still would be able to get your deposit back, but you would be charged with storage fees of $24 a day for the time the car was off the market. I also may be able to deliver the car for you for a set fee, but the car and towing would have to be paid in full and must clear the bank, before we deliver it to you. No more then three hundred miles round trip. Car can also be driven. This car is about 60 miles outside of NYC, close to northern NJ, eastern CT and north eastern PA. Good luck.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe

Sun, Apr 9 2023

In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.
