Beautiful 1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula
One of less then 200 made in Talbot Yellow

I have owned this car for a few years now. I have too many collector cars and Fieros and this one needs to go. It needs to be driven and enjoyed by someone not just sitting around and driven 100 miles a year! The car runs and drives great, drive it home!! 

The car is an original yellow car with mostly original paint. Parts of the car have been repainted but the body looks nice with no damage and the paint is nice and glossy. All if the major body panels have the original VIN stickers! 

The glass and trim are in excellent condition. Original LOF windshield with good tint! This is obviously a car that has been garage kept!

The engine has recently undergone a major tune up and re seal. The clutch has been replaced. 

The tires are older but have plenty of tread and are all the same brand and correct sizes

The interior is excellent! New headliner and mint original seats! NOS steering wheel installed! Original gray floor mats impossible to find! The dash has no cracks! Correct am/fm cassette radio! 

New Parts: 

New high performance accell fuel injectors $300, the car starts on a dime! 

Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, water pump, clutch and pressure plate, motor mounts, throw out bearing, engine gaskets -valve cover, intake, oil pan, etc. , new fluids oil, trans oil, and antifreeze

Urethane sway bar end links front and rear, urethane dog bone mount. 

New 180 thermostat, and  low temp fan switch 

Needs, issues, concerns.:

Head light pins installed (common problem) parts are under $20 some times both headlights work, sometimes just one side
RH lower ball joint  is loose over bumps 
AC needs to be charged
Possibly tires down the road if you plan on driving it a lot
The idle is a little erratic when the car is cold but it always levels out to 900 rpm at operating temperature. The car just needs to be driven, it sits a lot for long periods of time. 

I have tried to describe this car the best I can. It's very nice original car, very rare and needs to be driven and enjoyed! If you have any questions, would like to view the car or would like to make a cash offer please call 815 521 9566. Thank you for your interest.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful

Thu, Mar 24 2016

What 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.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
