Up for sale is an automotive icon: a 1979 Pontiac Firebird Formula. Most of these 'birds had the modestly powered 301 or 305 engine. Some had the more robust 350. At some point some wise person thought this Formula needed the more powerful engine that it deserves and put in an awesome 403 Olds-which was a factory option. Think of it as correcting a wrong! The car can fly! It has the correct and sought after snow-flake wheels which are in good shape. The body looks pretty sharp, the paint has a good shine to it. There is a fleck or three missing but is quite presentable. The only rust I can see is a bit of surface rust on the hood near the right hood air scoop. The interior is in very nice condition. Its what some term a "20 footer". Some idiot put in a temporary dash cap that does not quite match-oh wait, that was me. Sorry. It will need a new decal kit if you want to start going to shows but as a driver its pretty much good to go. The car starts right up every time and did all winter. I've been driving it everyday and it goes down the road at a good clip, draws smiles and turns heads every time I head out the driveway. I suspect it will need new shocks and the tires are old but they are serving well. I don't have a lot of history on this car. I do know it spent some years of its life in a shed in southern Illinois, a fate that I saved it from. The title I got was clear and mileage exempt due to age. My title says what's on the odometer which is 35 K. I cannot swear that's the true mileage so its either 35 or a surprisingly fit 135. I drive cars but I don"t fix them. There may be other issues not readily apparent-but I have been driving this car on a daily basis to work, to kid's sports games, to grocery store etc and it has never failed to start, stall out or leave me stranded. Feel free to send me an email but I would prefer if you just called with any questions. two-oh-two five five oh-oh oh oh eight-my name is Claude. I suspect that many people reading this listing will know more about cars in general and this car in particular than I do so if you want to call and ask about "compression ratios" or some such its going to be a boring conversation but I will do the best I can. This car according to the NADA guide in average condition with the 403 is worth close to $13,000. My reserve is thousands less than that. Please bid with care and only do so with the realization that the successful bidder has entered into a legally binding contract. The winning bidder agrees to send me $750 via Paypal within 24 hours of close of the auction and pay the balance with bank wire, cash or cashier's check within 7 days. If you are local or near local you are invited to see/drive vehicle which is located just outside of Washington, DC. I am happy to keep the car here free of charge for up to 30 days. I will help with loading if you want it shipped.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction
Wed, Jan 18 2017Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.
