First off read all of the discription and see all of the photo`s. I bought this car from the previous owner to finish and flip, The work done to this car has been very extensive; I will do my best to give all the details with out boring you to death, The following work was done by the previous owner; consisting of new quarters on both sides, full trunk pan, New hood from year one, crate 350 motor and crate TH350 transmission with a shift kit and deeper ribbed pan, 12 bolt rear-end with 391 gears, Ladder traction bars, drive shaft safety loop, Power disc brake up front, 3/8 fuel line, After market Heat and A/C system,

This is the work done by me after I got the car; First I checked everything the previous owner did and made any needed changes, I pulled the front clip off and installed new headers wrapped in high temp titanium wrap to drop heat in the engine bay, Finished running the dual exhaust out the back. I pulled the intake and installed a new Pro-comp air gap 4 barrel intake and Edel-Brock carb.
I replaced the radiator with a new aluminum high flow with twin 12" electric fans, A high out put alternator, Finished hooking up the a/c & heating system. Mounted a additional electric fan on the a/c condenser coil. New battery box and hold down, all new bolts for the complete front clip assembly. rebuilt the door hinges.
New headlights and adjuster springs, New windshield, Painted the dash, Installed a good used oem style dash gauge cluster and wiring. 
The old one was in poor condition. Radio and front and rear speakers and wire.  New after market gauges to monitor the engine.
I replaced the drivers side front floor pan and gas pedal mounting studs; cleaned the rest of the floor and painted; then added Dynamat to the floor and the doors for a better quality ride, New carpet and head liner.  All the light bulbs were replaced and connections cleaned and electrical grease applied.
All of the interior was cleaned and installed as well as new rear view mirror assembly and sun visors, I found a good spare rim and blasted it and painted it; No spare tire though.
Took all of the bright work and buffed it up as best possible and reinstalled, I cleaned up the tail panel Pontiac placard and applied a little paint and mounted it.
Blasted all of the rally 2 rims and painted the correct color and buffed up the trim pieces and balanced all tires.
I removed all of the front end and cleaned and painted the parts then installed new rubber bushings upper and lower, new upper and lower ball joints cleaned and repacked the wheel bearings. New inner and outer tie rod ends and adjusters, Center drag link and Idler arm. then installed with new front coils springs and had the alignment done. Replaced the gas tank and put in a new sending unit and After market gas gauge in the dash where a clock would normally go.
The car was completely sanded and primed then sanded again and painted a off white (Mercedes Benz Color) and clear coated. Most of the wet-sanding has been done and the large areas buffed all new seals installed. This car is not perfect or a trailer queen it is how ever a very nice and dependable daily driver if you so desire. It is truly fun to drive and is appreciated by those that see it.
Please ask questions. 904-365-1138 ask for Mike  The reserve is really low for the amount of money and work  (just over 12k) This is here for all you guys that pester me about the reserve. You could NOT build this car for the money I want and you know it; if you don`t you are not mechanically inclined. 
Here are the negatives, The front horns need to be replaced and the horn relay installed I will leave out the relay and include it so it is not damage by someone trying to make the horn work, You will need to buy a spare tire for the rim and get a jack assembly I do have the mounting hook and wing nut. The head light bezels are in poor condition as well as the tail light bezels. to complete the cloning you will need the correct tail light bezels and quarter panel emblems and trunk emblem. I am sure I have left out some thing that is why I put my phone number in the auction description. a few small chips in the paint I will attempt to repair before sold.
This car runs strong and pulls hard and it does it on regular pump gas. Lastly I am selling this to get a truck as I need one for my work; I am NOT interested in trades, I bought this to flip and have no attachments to it; I am a MOPAR guy; although i really do enjoy this car. it has classic lines and a good mix of economy power and rock solid reliability. Hope you like what you see and read, good luck bidding. I do not use Pay-Pal and want either cash upon the pick up of the car or certified bank check and from a bank that does business in Florida, Direct deposit, or U.S.Postal money order. 


On Mar-22-13 at 16:42:50 PDT, seller added the following information:

I failed to mention a few things. First I have the correct rocker molding trim pieces and a new bag of correct mounting hardware to install them that go with the car.

Second I would like to point out if you do not have at least 5 positive feed backs with no negative comments do not bid on my auction until you call me first or your bid WILL be withdrawn.
Third I reserve the right to end this auction at any time as I have it for sale locally so if you want this car make up your mind and bid because it will go.

Michigan floods from breached dams consume Pontiac Fiero collection

Thu, May 21 2020

“WeÂ’ve never had an event like this,” Michigan's city manager Brad Kaye said in a Detroit News story. "What we're looking at is an event that is the equivalent of a 500-year flood." Kaye is referencing the catastrophic flood that occurred in central Michigan this week after heavy rainfall was compounded by two breached dams on the Tittabawassee River. Reports say the flooding forced evacuation of up to 10,000 residents, swallowed entire towns, and destroyed thousands of properties. No casualties have been reported, according to the Detroit Free Press, but car enthusiasts will be sad to learn a Pontiac Fiero shop and collection called Forever Fieros was decimated by the natural disaster. The Tittabawassee River is located about two hours, or roughly 140 miles, north of Detroit. It starts 20-30 miles further north and flows southeast as a tributary to the Saginaw Bay Watershed. Along the way, the Tittabawassee is held up by several dams, including the Edenville dam that failed and the Sanford dam that was breached during torrential downpours. According to NPR, the federal government took away the Edenville dam's license in 2018 and suggested it could not last through a major flood. Unfortunately, that prediction was proven accurate.  Forever Fieros is located in Sanford, Michigan, which is just below Sanford Lake, which is created by the Sanford dam. So when the Edenville dam north of Sanford broke, water from Wixom Lake flooded Sanford Lake, and a berm next to the Sanford dam was overwhelmed, according to MLive. Technically the dam did not fail, but the end result was the same: an entire town underwater. The Tittabawassee reportedly crested at 35 feet, or 10 feet above flood level and 1.1 feet higher than the previous record set in 1986. According to The Drive, the man in charge of Forever Fieros, Tim Evans, had time to attempt to save his vehicles from floodwater. He reportedly moved about 12 cars to a street that doesn't typically flood, but the water level was simply too high for that to matter. A floating pole barn also reportedly struck and damaged the  Forever Fieros building.  Worsening the situation is the fact that Evans was planning to hold an auction to sell many of the Fieros. As seen on Industrial Bid, he planned to sell 12 Fieros, Fiero GTs and a Fiero Formula, ranging from 1984 through 1988. The lots included a 1984 pace car, a Lamborghini Countach kit car, and a Fiero Cosworth Pontiac Super Duty 16-valve DOHC engine.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

What's driving the spike in air-cooled Porsche 911 prices

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Classic car prices have been racing skyward in general, but prices for air-cooled (pre-1999) Porsche 911s are ascending like they're strapped to rocket boosters. It's been going on for years, and every year people are surprised by how outrageous it's getting: Classic Driver covered it this month, as did The Truth About Cars who included this example of a "scruffy" 1993 RS America with 215,000 miles asking $80K; Mike Spinelli at Drive riffed on it at length last year along with a host of classic-car-market observers; Porsche forums were at it two years ago; and let's not even get into the 993 Turbo, going for prices so high you have to lie down to look at them. Speed Academy has run a piece looking at why it's happening, one theory being that regular-guy owners are hopping on the runaway-price wagon without any good reason. As in the example of that high-mileage, scruffy 911 RS America at Bring a Trailer, the owner sees pristine examples valued by Hagerty at $170,000, and even though the average value is $93,238 he thinks something like, "Mine's got to be worth half of top dollar ..." The tide - even one rising on air - makes it hard to find decent prices. Then there is the flood of money into the market. In spite of articles that try to temper investors' outlooks on collectible cars, other articles in places like the Financial Times and the Guardian promote vintage metal as a safe place to put money and reap astonishing returns. Speed Academy thinks one side effect of high 911 prices is that responsible enthusiasts are turning their attention to cars like the BMW 2002, E30 M3, and E9 3.0CS, saying their prices are "sharply on the rise." The entire article is worth a read since it goes into markets far afield from pricey German steel, but incredibly, the entire piece was actually inspired by a 1997 Acura Integra R that sold for $43,000 on eBay. So while this could be the best time to get into the classic car market if you know what you're doing, it is certainly the best time to do your homework. Related Video:
