1996 Firebird, 3.8L V6, 5 Speed, 200HP, 142KM only. Lots of money invested in her.
-BFG G-Force Super Sport 275/35R18 Tires. -18" Black ADR Rims. -Black Widow Alarm -Dual exhaust, airbags -Tinted windows -MP3 Player and all speakers upgraded Lots of receipts, I have all records. All maintenance was always up to date and always done professionally. Original rims and tires come with the car. The new rims and tires cost over $2K and haven't seen much use. Car is currently garaged, and I haven't driven it in about two years. This has been my summer car only, and I've owned it for nine years. The car is being sold "As is", last time I drove it she was leaking some engine coolant, but other than that she drove beautifully. After two years the battery would probably need replacing. Some weird white marks on just the aluminum lips of the rims from at one time when the car was stored temporarily outside, not very noticeable, and could probably be buffed out. The fiberglass body is in great shape, the black paint is original and shines with minimal faults, as shown in pictures. The interior has always been well taken care of. When last driven, the engine, transmission, and everything else ran perfectly. The reason I garaged the car instead of fixing it was that I owned a business and couldn't spare the cash for my summer car. I ended up losing my business, and have now moved to a different province for work. The car is garaged on Vancouver Island with some family members, but I am not coming home for the foreseeable future so it's time to sell the car. So, if you don't mind towing it away and fixing some minor stuff, you'll get an amazing vehicle at a steal of a deal. |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As 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 dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob 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.
