Here is an unusual find.......a 1997 Pontiac Firebird convertible with less than 100 miles from new! It is a beautiful dark metallic green with tan cloth interior & tan power top. It has the series 2 3800 V6 & 5-speed manual transmission and all the available power options. It has 78 miles on the odometer and still smells new!
Here's the story......a good friend of mine (who's in his 70's now) has been a car guy his entire life. He bought a '64.5 Mustang convertible off the showroom floor back in the spring of '64 and still owns it to this day. Back in the 80's & early 90's he was heavily into the Pontiac Fiero....which is when I met him (I was also big into the Fiero at that time). By the late 90's & early 2000's he was moving towards the 4th Gen F-body and had about 20 various Camaros & Firebirds.....his favorite driver today is a '99 Trans-Am. Anyway, he purchased this Firebird convertible in July 1998 to give to his wife, but subsequent to his giving it to her she mentioned how much she hated those things. So he never gave it to her and the car sat in the corner of his warehouse ever since.
Late last year he mentioned that he'd like to sell it and after hooking up a new battery it would not start. The fuel pump was shot. We had a new Delphi fuel pump installed, but it still would not start, so a set of rebuilt fuel injectors and a new fuel filter were installed too. It fired right up and runs & drives great.....just like the new car that it is. I drove it about a mile to the storage garage and the only thong "wrong" with the car are the tires have flat spots from sitting for almost 15 years, but if you are just adding this to your collection this will not be an issue. If you plan on driving the car then new tires should be the first thing you replace anyway.
With the exception of the battery, fuel pump & injectors this car is exactly as it was when it left the factory. There are some small scratches & scuffs on the rear bumper from bumping into the wall when it was parked in 1998 and some small clearcoat chips along the drivers door......nothing serious, but it must be mentioned. I took some pictures of these issues, so please take a good look at them. If you need better pictures then ask and I will e-mail them to you.
I have described this car as honestly as possible and while it is essentially a brand new car there are no warranties expressed or implied......it is a 15+ year old car, so anything can happen. I encourange you to ask me any & all questions prior to bidding so there are no doubts about anything. Also, you need to have at least 5 feedback points (with no negatives) otherwise your bid will be removed. If you have less than 5 and want to bid on this car then please e-mail me first and we'll talk about it.
High bidder will send a $1000 non-refundable deposit via Pay Pal within 24 hours of the auctions close with the balance due within 7 days of auction close. I can store the car for up to 2 weeks after the auction ends for no additional cost, but after that it will be $200/month (either way the car must be paid in full within 7 days of the auctions closing).
The reserve is very reasonable......about half of what it cost new, so please don't ask me what it is. Bid to own!
Thanks and good luck!

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
