 1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350

-Real Formula 350 car
-Very strong running original engine, rebuilt several years ago with high quality internal parts (TRW pistons etc.) topped with Edelbrock intake and Holly Carb
-Automatic transmission with Hurst "His and Hers" Dual Gate Shifter (Original Equipment)  shifts firm, no sloppyness
-Weld Wheels
-Brakes work as they should
-Car drives straight
-Very solid body with super minimal rust (the tiny spot in front of the passenger wheel is the worst), solid floor pans, see the pictures, I took pics of the all the bad spots on the car so there will be no surprises when you come to pick it up
-needs paint
-interior very dirty and worn, will need to be gone through, some of the interior metal pieces have surface rust on them from condensation inside the car while it was sitting, nothing is rotten, it will just need to be removed, scuffed up and repainted
-car was sitting for a number of years but was brought out of storage, brought back to running condition, necessary parts were replaced and new mufflers were installed.  This car hasn't been on the road in Virginia since 2000 if the plates are correct, I have personally driven it about 10 miles on back roads.  It pulls hard, steers straight, stops well.  Overall, this car is a very solid start to an easy restoration and something you can have fun with and drive while you're doing the work.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
