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 |

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek
Tue, Jul 11 2017Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.
