I bought this car over a year ago and have had great fun with it. I don't drive it anymore because I'm 6'3", 220 and have a lower back problem. I fit just fine....its getting in and out that's tough. My son is 6'00" and he scoots the seat up when he drives it....just to give you an idea of leg room. I've gotten usually 26mpg with it unless I use the A/C. Then it drops to 21 or 22.

Since I've had it I've had only one problem with it. The control module went out. $35.00 for a new one and no problems since. When I got it, and story goes I'm 3rd owner, it ran good but was a bouncy, spongy ride. I put new shocks and idler arms on the front and new struts on the back. I had it aligned and it became a mad little go cart! It handles very well and is a blast to run through curves at speeds the law says you're not supposed to! Its a mid engine 2 seater that hugs the road without side sway and roll. Very fun and surprising. Its got 59,3xx miles on it. I have no reason to believe that's not original. I won't bore you with the history of the vehicle but it reportedly sat in the garage for 10 years after the first owner passed away.

 

V6 with the 4speed. Clutch is very good, shifting is a breeze. No gear noises or unusual sounds. Its not a "muscle car" by any means and was never intended to be (don't know what Pontiac was thinkin) but its low geared and very quick in the first 2. I never beat on this car but it will surprise you and others when you downshift and leap frog through traffic. Passing on the highway doesn't require downshifting unless you just want to. It IS a "sports car" according to Fiero enthusists and it rides like one too. You will notice bumps that you wouldn't in the family truckster.

 

Aside from whats already listed I replaced the battery earlier this year. I converted the A/C to 134a. Original refridgerant was still putting out cool air but not cold. It is cold now and I seldom use high unless in the 90s. More often than not I just open the sunroof. The tires are Goodyear Eagle GT II. They have 75% give or take tread left. I have not tuned it since I've had it but doesn't seem to need it. Exhaust sounds great and has no leaks. I have added oil only 3 times since I bought the car May 12'. 

 

Mechanically this is a 9/10. Only thing needing attention is the right headlight motor gear is stripped. You can unplug them and they stay open, functioning like normal headlights. I have ordered the rebuild kit and will try do it before you pick it up. Takes a half hour to do and is a $20 kit. The cruise control is not working. I ordered a troubleshoot/repair manual exerpt on it but I don't understand electrical. Cosmetically it needs paint. The clear coat is peeling in many spots. There are chips in the paint. I've tried to take the best pictures of it I could. The window seals are dry rotted and cracked. They don't let any water in the car so I never replaced them.  Sunroof does not leak either.

 

PW, PDL which are sticky, Power mirrors. Trunk release button inside. Stock AM/FM cassette. Sounds ok but was probably top of the line in 86' lol  Goofy sounding dual tone horn which may or may not honk on first try.

 

I've tried to list everything I can think of but if you have questions I will answer as quickly as possible. If I think of anything I have forgotten I will add to auction. Haynes repair manual and cruise control repair included.

 

Thanks for looking. Reserve is lower than the buy it now so bid with confidence that you're getting a good car at a good price. Bring a trailer or bring a driver. I trust this to go anywhere without problems.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We 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.
