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 Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
