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 |

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What 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.
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.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
