1986 Pontiac Fiero 2m6 on 2040-cars
United States
|
1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with approximately 70,000 miles, northwest owned and nearly always garaged. 2m6 (2.8L Six w/ 4-speed manual).
Very clean inside and out, no tears, no dents, just minor aging. One sail panel is cracked, I have a replacement in box. Factory options include GT wing, GT gauges (oil pressure, volts), Cruise, AM/FM/Cassette w/ subwoofer (cone is torn), AC (still works), remote trunk release, delay wipers, tilt wheel. Manual windows and locks. Both headlights work. Upgrades include K&N air filter and high-output headlights. Cat replaced 3 years ago. Temp gauge wiring mod applied- gauge no longer 'pegs' when switched on, and dash overtemp light works. Transmission shifts easy, synchros work fine, and clutch works fine. Factory maintenance and service manuals included, cover included (has a couple small holes), new brake pins & pads included. Now the bad news- leaks a little oil at the axle seals, and exhaust manifold may have a small crack. Windshield has a crack extending across about 50% of it. I just don't have the time, money, and room to keep it and tinker with it the way I'd like. Fun and fast, it's an absolute joy to drive-- you're connected to the road with all your senses, driving a sports car the way they were intended to be driven. Super road feel at the wheel, lively response to the gas, and no ABS, no power steering, and no traction control taking away your fun. It'll understeer until it decides to oversteer, it'll spin up the tires, and it'll put a huge smile on your face. If you've never owned a Fiero you ought to try it! Bonus: Washington State emission test no longer required for cars this old. Terms: Pick up only, in the greater Seattle area. Cash preferred. Cashier's check ok but buyer must allow time for check to clear. Car has current tabs and may be driven away. Paypal deposit w/in 48 hours will hold the car for one week from date of deposit. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say 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.
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.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
