Under 1,000 miles. This car is simply amazing as you can imagine. This car was bought by Charles Mertz Jr. of Upper St. Clair, PA back in 1981. There is a weird tale to this car so hold for the story. But is true. You can track down the Mertz family in the Pittsburgh area if you want to for verification. I found the car on ebay in 2003. It was literally a brand new car that was consigned to Tom Henry Chevrolet in Bakerstown, PA so that Charles ( or someone close to him ) could buy a new pick-up truck. People used to buy Camaro’s and Firebird’s all the time and modify them . We all know that so what’s the big deal? However, Charles bought this car new back in 1981, modified it and then parked it in his living room. Yes. I am not kidding you. Inside the living room. Took the wall out and everything. How do I know this? I tried tracking down Charles himself years ago in the Pittsburgh area but ended up speaking with his son about the car. Charles’s son actually told me that his dad bought TWO of these cars. Not just this one. I can’t remember if Charles put BOTH cars in the house or not....... I think he might have. Buying a car and modifying it is one thing. But parking it in the house? Well................... Ok.... I was able to get some pictures of the modifications and they are on the birdbunker.com site for you to see. Have a look at it. They were simple engine bolt on mods and some dumb side pipes. When I bought the car, I took all of the modifications off of the car and put all the stock factory stuff back on. Even though Charles put side pipes on the car, the only thing he changed was the “Y” pipe from the engine and he left the original exhaust hanging in place. I got a new “Y” pipe and re-hooked back up the original exhaust. It’s all still there to this day. In 11 years, I don’t think that I even put 200 miles on the car. I would just mostly park it outside and let it run out of gas to keep the fuel fresh. You are dealing with a super honest seller here. In the engine compartment, I do think there are a couple of minor pollution control items missing but I am not sure what they are. True Trans Am guys out there that know the 1981 Chevy 305 engine “get up” will know what they are and I am sure it is nothing much to put them back on if you had to. The car runs perfectly fine so I never bothered with the missing items. You can ignore them too if you want. The only other thing to do is the door handle on the drivers side has popped out of the forward grommet but that can be fixed. Other than that, this is a brand new under 1,000 mile car that looks, smells and drives like it is brand new. That is because it is new. This car along with the 1980 White on Blue I have are realistically new cars. They have to be seen to be appreciated. Pictures do not do this car justice as the car has not been washed in a long time. Needs a really good bath. Paint is perfect...... Under the hood? Like new Glass? Like new. Underside of car? Like new. Interior? Like new. This is about as new a car as you will get. And its 33 years old. Yes. I know that it is a small block Chevy stuck into a Pontiac Firebird. If you wanted a 4-Speed Trans Am in 1981, a small block 305 Chevy was your only choice. No one ever said that General Motors was the smartest company in the world. Yes. I know these were not the fastest cars in the world. It’s a Trans Am from 1981 that I put back to perfect stock because I am a car purist. What can I tell you? It goes what it does. Yes. This is the last year of the 2nd Gen ( good looking ) Trans Ams. GM destroyed them in my personal opinion in 1982. This is as close to a perfect 1981 Trans Am you will find anywhere in the country. Bar none. The car should have a tune up. It fires right up and runs great but I think it is due for a tune up. Likely the original plugs but I did not check. If you are looking for a new 1981 Trans Am. This is it. This is..... a brand new 33 year old car. Enjoy the pics and the video. This car will end up in a collection somewhere that covets museum pcs and that is exactly what this car is. Another museum pc. Contact Information Call or email me ( John Shaw ) about the cars. Do not call Tom please. Tom can assist you in seeing the cars since he is always there. I will discuss price and any other information that you want to know about the cars. Thank you John ----------------------------------------- John Shaw ............... sometimes onsite in Cortland, Ohio 519-660-9670 -----------------------------------------Tom Jochman ................... always onsite in Cortland, Ohio 330-637-1176

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
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.
