1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula on 2040-cars
McHenry, Illinois, United States
|
I have a 1971 Firebird Formula just brought out of a long stay in a heated & air conditioned shop. This car is a true 400 formula car according to the VIN but this is not a matching numbers car. The current engine is a 1974 Pontiac 455 engine bored .30 over with 1970 Pontiac heads. The previous owner claims that $12,000 was invested in the engine and $3,500 was invested in the TH-400 automatic transmission and drive-train but he did not have receipts available. The engine sounds great and even in this very cold Chicago weather the car fires up without a problem.
This car has extremely minimal rust for a 43 year old Pontiac. The worst spot is the passenger side rear quarter, down low. Again this is a 43 year old car and it is not perfect but it runs, sounds, and drives great. This car is ready for the street or the strip. As you will see in the pictures it has a white exterior with a black interior. The screening under the Formula hood is perfect. The car is available for viewing by appointment only. To schedule a viewing, or if you have other questions, please feel free to call between 8AM and 9PM Central Time. Thank you for looking. Bob Cell 1-815-575-2 zero zero 9. |

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
