1981 Pontiac Firebird Turbo Formula 26,000 Miles on 2040-cars
Washington, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I’m offering for auction my 1981 Pontiac Firebird Formula Turbo, this car is mostly all original with VERY low miles only 26,100 miles (may go up a little due to test drives and showing car). Still wearing its original paint and sporting the original interior, it is in great shape!! This car is very clean no rust that I have found either on top or underneath, in fact the GM part number is still stamped on the muffler. This car runs good only may need the carburetor cleaned a little or it just might need driven more. There are a few door dings that I spoke to a paint less dent repair guy about and can be repaired easily. This is a pretty rare car in 1981 Pontiac made almost 6000 formulas, but only around 667 were Turbo (according to Mecum Auctions). The car is well equipped with power windows, power locks, power trunk release, pulse wipers, power antenna, cloth interior and Turbo Boost indicator lights in the hood scoop and a kind of rare one color no W50 package like most. The PA Classic plates are also transferrable to the new owner if a PA resident . I feel that this car could take a trophy at a car show as a survivor car. I have the original build sheet, owner’s manual and a sales brochure from 1981. I have driven it about 250 miles this year so far without any major concerns. The bad things are few but here goes…. The Turbo lights panel in the hood scoop has a piece missing, I don’t know how that happened but I have the piece that is missing. The lights work properly. The coolant overflow bottle was cracked and leaking. I have that and it goes with the car but new ones are available on ebay for around $50.00. When I bought the car the heater core was leaking. It was not replaced, just bypassed. I would never drive it in the winter anyway so I didn’t need heat. I did replace the radiator with a new 4 row radiator, and also replaced the fan clutch. The car runs at the normal operating temp with no overheating. Other small things are there is a small chip in the windshield you can barely see and a small leak around the back glass(only in heavy rain) but it hasn’t sat outside much during its life. One more thing is the power antenna won’t stop running so I disconnected it. These things are all small things but I would rather be critical about the car before someone buys it. This is a very correct, beautiful, low mileage example of a Pontiac Firebird Formula (they are only all original once in their life). Please email me if you have questions or want a to set up a time to personally inspect the car. A $500.00 non refundable Paypal deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end, with the balance to be paid within one week. Car cannot leave until funds clear. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. The car is also being advertised locally and I reserve the right to end early if sold as a result of local sale. PS the pic of the rear panel under the bumper shows a factory hole... There is no Rust around that hole that is a factory weld mark |

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
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.
