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.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car

Mon, Nov 30 2020

Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video:   Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
