For sale is this 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with Fisher T-Tops, this car is in excellent condition for it's age and will make a great project if you're looking to build a show car or just a fun hotrod for the weekends. I have recently acquired the vehicle and do not have all information about the car but will tell you what I know.


First off, this thing runs great! The cars original 4.9L 301 V8 was replaced with the Pontiac 6.6L 400 V8 a couple years ago and not sure how many miles are on it. They painted the motor but does have some areas of paint that have came off you can not see these in photos but overall the engine compartment id really clean. Has an Edelbrock intake and a 600 cfm 4 barrel carb.The transmission is a 3 speed auto and is most likely original. Rear gears are 3:43 and the current mileage is about 85K and if they are original is unknown.

The car has 4 wheel disc brakes so most likely came with the WS6 suspension package but this is not confirmed since I don't have the original sticker. 

The car was originally red w/ red interior, previous owners had the interior painted and dyed to match new paint. With new paint came new decals and the 6.6L decal is now used on the hood to reflect the current motor. There are minor chips and dings in the paint in misc places and all are very minor, some chips in the interior show some of the original red. It is missing the t-top trim on the interior but does not affect the operation at all.

The body itself is 99% rust free, it has an under coating also. Very solid body. The seals are in decent condition for it's age, I would recommend new seals for the t-tops at the minimum.

Along with the upgraded motor, paint and interior carpet the car has new tires, brakes, shifter cable, shocks and 3 inch exhaust.

Power windows work good, the passenger side switch has to be wiggled at time but works, the power door locks DO NOT WORK, i have even looked into it to see if it's a fuse or something else but neither side operates but can still be locked manually.  The e brake is not connected and will be to be fixed along with the horn. The fan for the heat/ac is pretty slow and could be replaced. A/C has not been tested but was told it works just needs to be charged.

That's about everything I know, overall this is an excellent car and turns a lot of heads. Now here's the details on the Auction, PLEASE read this carefully so there's no confusion.

$1 start and a very reasonable reserve, If the reserve is met I'll be asking a $1500.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit at time of auction close by pay pal only so PLEASE make sure you want this car if you're going to bid, If the deposit is not made with in 24 hours i will give a second chance offer to the next high bidder. Final payment will be CASH or Cashiers Check ONLY. LOCAL PICK UP ONLY, if you want to make arrangements to have the car transported that's fine. I'm also selling this vehicle through other avenues so I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time.Please ask any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them quickly.

Thank you for looking and good luck!

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
