 Up for sale is a 1987 Pontiac Fiero SE.  The car is in EXCELLENT mechanical condition.  Everything on the car works perfectly (all lights, power locks, power windows, speakers, locks, heat, A/C , headlights, wipers, etc).  The only thing that doesn't work on the car is the cruise control.

Interior:
***The interior of the car was originally cloth seats with tan carpet, metallic colored trim around the gauges, and dark brown carpet inlays on the doors. 
The original carpet was removed and red carpet was installed to match the car's exterior.  Custom red floor mats with the logo "Fiero" stitched in them overlay the carpet. 
To replace the original grey-metallic toned trim, red trim was cut to fit and installed throughout the cabin (see pictures).  The carpet on the door panels was removed and replaced with custom leather panels. 
The center console armrest with cup holders is custom made from leather and is permanently fixed in place.  It is embossed with red stitching outlining the Fiero logo.
The seats are now covered with custom red leather seat covers which are stitched to match the original Fiero seat stitching.  The seat covers conform to the seats so well you can't tell that they are covers and not brand new seats.  All of the original speakers in the car still work well, the antenna gets excellent radio signal, and the car has a new Pioneer radio to replace its original one.

This was a non-smoker car, the interior is clean with very minimal wear.

Exterior:
All of the body panels fit seamlessly to the car, there is no warping and no dents.  The only issue with the exterior is the paint, from a distance the paint looks fine but if you get close you can see the front hood is beginning to peel somewhat.

Electricals:
All of the buttons, headlights, overhead lights, trunk light, brights, headlight motors, power windows, power locks, engine hatch buttons, turn signals, fan, climate control, speakers, and wipers all work.  The only item that doesn't work is the cruise control.

The A/C in this car blows ice cold and the heat warms up the inside of the car very quickly.

Mechanicals:
The car runs flawlessly.  Everything is in good working order.  The alternator, wheel bearings, battery, battery cables, fluids, oil filter, air filter, and parts of the front suspension were all replaced in July 2013 (this year).  The engine has plenty of power and the car starts on the first crank.  I have been using this car as a daily driver since mid-summer and it has done roughly 4 hours of highway driving a week and countless hours of city driving since then- the car has never had any issues whatsoever, it's dead reliable.  This past August I drove it over 7 hours to the beach and back with the A/C blasting cold air.
This is a car you can get in, turn on, and it will get you anywhere you want to go and back with no issues.
  The new seats, armrest, and cupholders make this a car that you can sit in for hours and remain comfortable (I have).  The car is a blast to drive, you can take a turn at any speed and the engine still has plenty of power to set the car back on its rear wheels when you hit the gas.

The car is sold AS-IS and the buyer is responsible for shipping the car or coming to pick it up in person.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac Grand Am LE with Quad 4 Engine

Wed, May 9 2018

GM introduced the N-Body compact platform with the Oldsmobile Calais and Pontiac Grand Am for the 1985 model year and continued building N-based cars through 1998. Most of these cars weren't interesting from an enthusiast standpoint, but a handful rolled off the assembly line with raucous DOHC Oldsmobile Quad 4 engines and manual transmissions, and those cars were plenty of fun. Here's a 1991 Grand Am with that rare setup, photographed in a self-service yard in California's Central Valley. The base engine in the 1991 Grand Am was the 110-horsepower, 2.5-liter pushrod Iron Duke, an engine that might have been fine on a Romanian tractor in 1953 but had no place on an American street car as the 21st century approached. Fortunately, GM started bolting the modern 2.3-liter DOHC Quad 4 engine into 1988 cars, and this was a proper four-cylinder. The Quad 4 ran a little rough and uncivilized, and it had its share of reliability problems, but you could rev the piss out of it and it made good power. In 1991, this engine was rated at 180 hp. That made this 2,592-pound sedan pretty quick. Unfortunately, the slushboxization of America had progressed with depressing rapidity during the 1980s, and by 1991 most Grand Am buyers — even the ones who opted for the Quad 4 — chose the automatic transmission. That didn't happen with this car, though — it boasts a rugged Getrag 5-speed instead of the happiness-amputating three-speed automatic. Yes, that's the kind of odometer reading you'd expect to see on an Accord or Maxima from this era. Someone loved this car and took care of it. Here we see an interesting mix of 1980s and 1990s car-radio technology. CD players in cars were still costly luxury items in 1991, seldom seen in affordable cars like the Grand Am, while 1980s-style slider-style EQ controls were on the way out. This Delco unit straddles both decades nicely. I seek out Quad 4-equipped cars during my junkyard travels, and I have photographed quite a few: this '89 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Grand Am, this '91 Quad 442, this '93 Achieva SCX, and this '98 Cavalier Z24. It's a shame that Buick never put the Quad 4 in the Reatta, which was a fine car ruined by a somnolent and obsolete V6. The music in this ad is even more early-1990s than Crystal Pepsi.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
