   HELLO THERE. Thanks for looking.
  
    1991 PONTIAC FIREBIRD TRANS AM. SUPER CLEAN! SUPER SHINY! NEEDS NOTHING! Just turn the key and Drive. 
   I use this car as my weekend driver and keep it in the garage. It's been babied by the previous owner and me. 
ONE ADULT OWNER UNTIL 100K. My coworker bought it for a short while, but then had to sell it. Then I bought it and I love it. 
 We live in the city and bought another car, so we decided it's best to sell this one. The reserve is set low, to about half of what I spent on it. Priced to sell, good luck.

   ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION: 10/10 ENGINE NEEDS NOTHING.
The engine is a 305 V8 with almost 300lb/tq. That the LB9 TPI V8. Strong. Around 105k on the car, which is LOW MILEAGE for the age of this car. Definitely very well taken care of. The Firebird was inspected in October and I paid an extra 400$ for an engine tune up and front suspension work. Tie rods,Spark plugs, wires, fuses and vacuum hoses were replaced. Also, shortly after I purchased the car, the fuel pump failed. 600$. So, you also have a New Fuel Pump in it. 
The engine runs strong and sounds great. The transmission shifts smoothly and works perfectly.
  
   EXHAUST: 9.5/10 Exhaust is in good shape. I purchased a New Dynomax Muffler for the car. Sounds Awesome! Nice low grumble, but will not wake up the neighbors. I also coated the muffler before installing it to protect it against corrosion. 
  
   INTERIOR: 9.5/10 When I bought the car, it was super clean. I'VE GARAGED IT AND IT'S VERY CLEAN!
All the gauges work except for the gas gauge. I bought the unit that needs to be replaced, but haven't gotten around to fixing it. Unit will be included with the sale. The Driver side window motor was replaced. Works great. 
   Heat works great. AC worked great.  
Seats and carpets very clean. The dash is in great shape and Does Not have any cracks or sun fade which is typical of these cars. That shows the car was probably garaged most of its life. Headliner is in good condition. 
  
  It is 2014, so its does have and aftermarket Stereo and CD player with an aux jack. A small plastic trim is missing from around the radio face plate. It never bothered me. Speakers were replaced and sound better than some newer cars I've been in.
  The Firebird does have a Racing Steering Wheel which I get many compliments on. Let me tell you, it makes turning so much easier and makes the car a lot easier to control. Plus it gives more clearance for your thighs, especially if you are taller or thicker. 
Leather shift boot and leather glove compartment. Like I said, SEATS ARE SUPER CLEAN. NO CRACKS ON THE DASH. VERY CLEAN.
  
   EXTERIOR:  The FIREBIRD IS A HEAD TURNER!
This is a beautiful daily driver or an awesome weekend car. And with a few details being taken care of, this could be a show car. I'll point everything out.
   
   BODY STRAIGHTNESS: 9/10 Body is Great condition. Look at the pictures. Passenger door and fender have a few small parking lot dings. Barely noticeable, only if you are looking for them. Can't even see them in the pictures. Driver's side is pretty straight. Trunk, wing, roof, front bumper, rear bumper and hood are straight.
   When I bought the car, the aftermarket hood was misaligned a bit from the previous owner installing it.  I never got around to mess with it because it never really bothered me. You can mess with it and align it if you want. Hood is painted to the stock color so you really can't see the gap too much. 
  
   Anyways, The Hood is really Awesome! Really gives it a Muscle Car feel while giving the engine better air flow and cooling it down better. Very cool muscle car feel.
  
    PAINT: 10/10 The paint is AMAZING. Again, the pictures speak for themselves Very Shiny! NO fading, NO peeling, SUPER GLOSSY. A REAL HEAD TURNER. That's the way I bought it, garaged it, waxed it and it's still just as shiny. Nice weather recently so I just hand waxed it a week ago. You can give it wax again maybe at the end of the summer.
  
   T-TOPS! The T-tops are in great shape! Awesome to look up and see everything, including the stars at night. Take a look at the pictures. No leather holder. Also, brakes are good. 
FOUR MATCHING TIRES WITH 80-90% TREAD. Put on in Oct 2013. These should last you a few years. Headlights work great, look at the pictures.

RECAP: Great running engine and Transmission. New muffler.Very clean interior with new radio, new speakers and an awesome steering wheel. Body is great condition. Paint is in A+ condition. T-Tops are A+ condition. Four Matching Tires with plenty of tread. Just turn the key and drive with confidence.



Since it is Ebay: Car is As Is. Please do not waste your time or mine. Please bid with confidence, but also have the funds. Please have the cash in hand or make sure your bank can give you an auto or personal loan. I do not want to relist it. I want to sell it now. I accept paypal or PAYMENT IN PERSON preferred. 250$ due within 24 hours of auction close, so please have that on a CC or paypal.

   I have it for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
   Cash in hand, good offer takes it.
   
   Come and take a look at the Firebird if you want. My name is George. 
   Call with any questions at anytime. 267 474 5893. If I don't pick up, LEAVE A MESSAGE.
    If I am at work, I will get back to you as soon as possible. Come look at it in person if you want.
    I am in the 19115, 19116 area codes 
   Thank you and hope pass this beautiful car on to a great owner. Bid with confidence.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Junkyard Gem: 1996 Pontiac Grand Am SE Coupe

Thu, Jun 22 2023

The Grand Am was the best-selling Pontiac model in the United States for every year of the 1990s, and it outsold most of its N-Body platform-mates (including the Chevrolet Corsica/Beretta) during nearly all of that decade. A sporty-looking compact with two or four doors, the Grand Am offered true 1990s radness—and, in some cases, respectable performance — at a good price. Today's Junkyard Gem is a nicely preserved example of the facelifted 1996 Grand Am, found in a Denver-area car graveyard. This is an SE Coupe with base engine and transmission, the most affordable Grand Am available in 1996. List price was $13,499, or about $26,523 in 2023 dollars. The factory-issued Monroney sheet for this car was still inside, so we can see that the original buyer got the car at Bob Ruwart Motors in Wheatland, Wyoming (about 175 miles up I-25 from this Pontiac's final parking spot), and paid a total of $16,054 ($31,543 in today's money) after the cost of options and the destination charge. The '96 Grand AM SE buyer had to pay extra for cruise control, air conditioning, power windows, rear glass defogger and other features we now take for granted on new cars. The base engine was the 2.4-liter Twin Cam four cylinder, a member of the screaming Oldsmobile Quad 4 family. This one was rated at 150 horsepower and 155 pound-feet. A 3.1-liter V6 with 155 horses and 185 pound-feet was an option. If you got the V6 in your '96 Grand Am, however, you couldn't get a manual transmission. This car has a proper five-speed manual, which made for fun driving with the high-revving Twin Cam engine in a machine weighing just 2,802 pounds (which is quite a bit less than what the current Honda Civic weighs). It traveled just over 160,000 miles during its 27 years on the road. The body and interior were still in fairly good condition when the car arrived here, so we can assume that some expensive mechanical problem doomed this car. Perhaps the original clutch wore out and the owner didn't consider it worth replacing. After all, a mid-1990s Detroit two-door with a transmission most people can't drive isn't worth much these days. Though nobody knew it when this car was new, the Grand Am would be gone in nine years and Pontiac itself would get the axe five years after that. It makes the ordinary extraordinary. Husbands and wives would argue for 12 hours over who got to drive the Grand Am, if we are to believe this ad. Proud sponsor of the 1996 Olympic team.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
