I am the second owner of this vehicle and purchased it in 1982. It has always been garage kept and has never been subjected to the elements. Only on occasion has this car seen the rain due to forecast errors. I have loved this car and taken care of it over half of my life. It has always been adult driven by a non smoker. This is a true survivor, with the original motor, transmission, and interior. When I purchased the car in the 80's, I had part of the car painted due to scratches, but the vehicle was never wrecked or damaged. The interior has no burns or rips, and has normal wear.When I purchased the trans am, it had approximately 32,000 miles, and although I have put 30,000+- miles on it since then, I have only driven it less than 1000 miles in the past 15 years.
I do have the full set of factory wheels that came with the car, that will be included with the purchase. I have attached a photo of one of them to indicate the style.
I replaced the turbo back in the mid 90's, but am having trouble locating the paperwork to verify the date. It was repaired locally, but the parts were from GM. I have not had issues since. The motor was not touched other than the turbo. NUMBERS MATCHING. I have repaired small items along the way such as interior light, door handle, etc, but 99%+- is all original.
I will not ship, hold, or store the car after the sale. A non refundable deposit of $500.00 must be received within 48 hours of the end of auction, and full payment must be received within 7 days of end of auction. There is a bank near my house, and we will meet there to exchange title for full payment. Cash is the most reliable, but my bank will have to accept any form of payment, other than cash. You will be responsible for hauling, loading or shipping the vehicle. Although I am not hiding anything and due to this being a 33+ year old car, there will be no warranty given or implied. Please read the bidding instructions carefully.
I encourage you to ask questions prior to bidding and you will receive honest answers. I hope that it is purchased by someone who has taken care of it as well as I have. I never seem to drive it much and I plan to purchase a larger fishing boat after the sale.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At 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."
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We 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.
