Up for auction is my 1999 Pontiac TransAm Firehawk. Its a black convertible with tan leather and a manual 6 speed transmission. Car has pretty low milage of 74,300. Not too many Firehawk convertible's out there, pretty rare car. This car just had $1000 worth of bodywork done to it. Make no mistake it did NOT need it but i like having my stuff super clean. Three or four door dings were taken out, along with a rock chip on the hood (hood ended up getting completely re-painted) and some rub marks on the rear fascia were removed. I'm saying this car has show room paint because it does.... not a single swirl mark on the car. Completely new repainted hood. You will have to see the car to believe how good the black paint looks. It was a california car its whole life and had an easy salt-free life. Still has a california title as I drove the car back from California last year and has been sitting ever since. Very clean car, runs and drives great.
Engine: 100% factory; Starts right up; runs like new with only the SLP lid mod on the air intake
SLP options: Auburn Performance Differential
Exterior: Paint is flawless; new bodywork just completed, not a single swirl mark on the car... immaculate... seriously...
Wheels/tires: Tires will need to be replaced within the next 20,00 im guessing; two wheels have small curb marks on them, not noticable
Sound: Aftermarket sound system with a custom made subwoofer box that doesn't take up trunk space and allows convertible top to close. Two amps: Boss 250watt for the two 6.5" kicker subs; 1600w 4-channel amp for the two JL Audio component speakers(very nice) up front and the two massive audio speakers(slim fit for the convertible mechanism) in the rear
Interior: Leather is great, clean, visors need replaced as the cardboard inside them and worn
Make sure you watch the youtube video of it. Ebay won't let you directly paste the link anymore so you will have to get on youtube and search "1999 Pontiac Firehawk Convertible startup / interior / walk around" copy and paste that title... It should be the first link that pops up and my user ID is sgilbertt. I did a walk-around and a startup of the car worth watching.
That pretty much sums it all up! The pictures don't do the car justice. Come see it and test drive it if you like. Email me or call me at

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
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.
