You are bidding on an ULTRA RARE '92 only one year color of Jamaica Yellow with Black interior Formula Firebird with a 5.7 liter engine and t-tops. The only way that you could get t-tops with a 350 engine in an F-body in '92 was in a Formula. According to compnine.com, there were only 11 Jamaica Yellow Formulas with 5.7 engines - 9 with t-tops and 2 hardtops. I have a copy of the original invoice from GM Archives, a clean CARFAX, and clean title in hand.
This car has been in indoor storage since 2007 and has been driven very little. The previous owner installed new Fuzion ZRi tires, rebuilt or replaced the brakes as necessary, and replaced the water pump. I have owned this car for a little over a year and only have driven it for a few miles, but it starts, shifts and stops well from what I can tell with no trouble lights on. The interior of the car is VERY nice and has no fading and the dash is not cracked. The front seats had seat covers on them when I purchased the car that apparently had been on the seats for most of its life as there are no stains or wear spots on the seats. The stock radio is present and works, along with the electric antenna. The headlights go up and down as they should and the door close tightly. The factory N10 exhaust dual cats are still on the car, but the muffler has a hole in it and will need to be replaced.
As can be seen in the photos, the car does have surface rust in a few areas on the exterior. There is also rust in the drivers rocker panel area below the door that will eventually require replacement if the new owner chooses to do a full restoration on the car, but is not an immediate requirement to enjoy the car now.
I had plans to restore this car one day as I have one of the two hardtop JY 5.7 Formulas made in '92 so I would have a matching pair, but I have come to the realization that with family including small children and other cars that it would be a long time, if ever, before I would be able to do this car the justice it deserves. I just have other priorities now. This is a 7 day auction with a very low reserve for a rare car with three of the most desirable options (color, 5.7, and t-tops) that were offered in a third gen. Please contact me at (229) 392 7111 with any questions and I will answer them as thoroughly as possible. My name is Jason. I require a $500 deposit within 24 hours of auctions end. I will be glad to store the car for a couple of weeks or so for the new owner to arrange shipping or in person pickup after payment is made in full. Please check my impeccable feedback and bid with confidence!!

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we post about Omaze, it is about some kind of incredible car sweepstakes. Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO. Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000 Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
