I am selling my 97 firebird. Engine is strong, cold a/c and needs a driver. It is an older car and needs some TLC but the car has 115000 miles on it. I will start with all of the things that i have already done to the car, and I'm not here to hide anything either.
The title is clean, no accidents but does a few cosmetic issues in the front only. More than welcomed to pull a car fax if you want. I can provide the VIN to save you time and also have this http://www.kbb.com/pontiac/firebird/1997-pontiac-firebird/coupe-2d/?pricetype=private-party&vehicleid=8291&intent=trade-in-sell&mileage=115000&category=hatchback WITHOUT the extras on the car already to give you an idea on the deal you are getting.
You are welcome to take it for a test drive and hear it run. The car is still registered in SC, my wife is in the military and I plan on going back to SC when she is through being here in VA. So you will have to register the car here and Im more than willing to assists with this as well if you purchase the car. I have a folder with all the services records for your convenience, showing all the repairs, maintenance etc that has been done to it since I have had AND the original owner.
I have put new struts, shocks, new tires, new spark plugs, spark plug wires, new brake pads, new battery, new lights, and of course a fresh oil change and more, its in the paper work :D. This alone has cost a hefty sum of money and not many people selling a car normally have it serviced like mine. It is ready to roll out but I do have a list of things that would need to be done but it isn't severe but i would suggest getting it done by the end of 2014 if your going to drive over 10-15k miles by then. I would suggest a engine coolant flush/refill and a transmission flush while your at it. It does have a power steering leak but its a very small leak, you can keep the fluid topped until your ready to fix it, "its the pressure hose btw, 35 dollars for the hose and an easy fix for a mechanic." Now, the passenger window does not go down or up, needs a new motor 35$. The trunk doesnt stay up because it needs two new rods, $30-$50 dollars for both and you can even do it yourself. The dash is cracked but I have a mat that covers it up and looks fine to be completely honest.
Recently though my car has been acting a bit strange. It acts as if it doesn't get enough gas and it has shut off on me a few times but does start back up. The car will of course turn back on and continue as if nothing happened later on. I talked to the mechanic and he looked it over and he stated a few things it could be. 1. Fuel filter-14$ "I will do this myself for you," or a vacuum hose 30$, but he also said it could just be the airflow sensor, $100 and this you can do yourself or get an autozone person to do it. It just sounds like the fuel isnt getting to the engine because there may be a back up or the hose isnt getting enough pressure OR since the airflow doesnt get the right mixture it doesnt send in enough fuel for the car. Other than that the car runs, and sounds AWESOME!
Cosmetic issues are..... A tree branch fell on the car during a storm, it dented the hood and broke the passenger light. I did replace the passenger light and panel etc but there is no stopper for the motor, so the light will go up and down etc but wont stay still. I have unplugged the motor so you can manually just put up the light for now. I'm sure a mechanic can look at the light and put something in place for the light to hit, so it knows where to stop. In the picture you see a "low oil" this has been displayed on the car since I even bought it from the owner, I dont know how to reset this but dont be alarmed thinking the car has been low on oil, the alert comes and goes. As the engine gets warmer it does go away. Probably a false display but I could never figure out how to reset it or get it to stop displaying. If the hood bothers you, you can go to a junk yard or buy an after market hood for under $200.
I have had this car for 7 years and its ready for another 7. The price of the car will increase as time goes on because its almost considered a classic. I have done a ton of tune ups and upgrades to the car over time and I no longer wish to have the car. I have purchased a new car and wish for someone else to take this over. The buyer will definitely get a good deal. I have disclosed all the issues with the car to the best of my ability because I want to make sure we are both on the same page. The car is great, and if no one wants to buy, then I will over time fix the minor issues and sell it for more. I also have a 150-200 dollar off thing for shipping the car from Montaway car transportation, I can provide this to the buyer if you require shipping the car but I will not do this until I have received the funds for the car of course.
If you have any questions please text me or call me at 904-571-4288. You can also email me here on ebay as well.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT
Fri, Jun 26 2020The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.
Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
