1992 Jamaica Yellow/black Formula 5.7 Liter Hardtop. Gm Pep Program Car. Rare! on 2040-cars
Tifton, Georgia, United States
|
Hi and thank you for looking at my auction. Up for bids is my 1992 Jamaica Yellow 5.7 (350ci) Formula Firebird hardtop. I have owned this car for about three years and my family and I have thoroughly enjoyed it., but it is now time for someone else to enjoy it as much as we have. I have described below the different aspects of this car.
Documentation - If you know are familiar with third gen Pontiacs, you already know that a Jamaica Yellow Formula is a tough car to find. According to the compnine.com database, there were 11 Jamaica Yellow Formulas made with the 5.7 engine. Nine were T-tops and two were hardtops. This is one of the two. I have the original build sheet that was with the car showing the code 52Q Jamaica Yellow paint, L98 5.7 liter engine and G80 posi-traction among other options when it was shipped. I also have a copy of the original invoice from the GM archives and one trim sheet. This car was a GM PEP program car that was charged to the Design Studio and shipped to the Pontiac Motor Engineering field fleet. It was built in September 1991 sold through GM Auction Sales in early 1992. I also have the owners manual with original selling sales reps business card and a 1992 Pontiac full line catalog. I also have various maintenance receipts and the contact information of two prior owners. The CARFAX and AUTOCHECK are clean. I have a clean Georgia title in hand. Exterior - The exterior appears to be original, and as can be seen in the photos shows exceptionally well for 22 year old paint with very good shine. The rear urethane aero spoiler has a few dime size spots of clear coat flaking and the urethane nose still has decent shine, but has faded a bit and there are marks on it and a tear on the left front corner. I have documented this in a photo. There are a few small spots where there is surface rust on the exterior. I am a picky person and as a yardstick, when I purchased the car I had a quote from a local body shop to repair all of these areas for $500, but it looks good enough for cruising and local shows so I just never had it done. The floor pans, shock towers and fender wells are clean with only surface rust where the primer/paint was sprayed thin on the underside from the factory. I removed the front wheel well liners to inspect the fender/firewall/rocker panel areas as there is no rust. I am probably over-emphasizing the spots on the exterior, but I just want to give the next owner an accurate representation. I had a new windshield installed shortly after buying the car, as the original had a small crack in it. Interior - The interior is exceptionally nice and clean and looks like a car with half the miles. When I purchased the car, it had black seat covers on the front seats that appear to have been on the car its entire life. The cloth on the front seats look very nice and the rear seats have had very little use. The factory roll up rear security shade is present. The factory carpet is very nice and the original GM mats are still present and in very good condition. The headliner is tight with no sags, the radio and cassette player work as they should. The dash and console have no cracks. The A/C is ice cold, the rear hatch pull down works as do all the interior lights. Engine and Drivetrain - The factory 5.7 liter engine starts up and runs great with no smoke or hesitation. I had a new starter installed by an ASE repair shop last week as the old starter seemed to be getting tired and slow. While it was there they checked the belts, hoses, alternator and battery and all were good. The transmission shifts nicely with no hesitation on the shift points. The car had an aftermarket Hawks exhaust on it when I purchased it and I had an entire factory N10 dual exhaust which I had put on the car in May of 2013. It runs cool, never getting over 190, even in the summer with the A/C on in South Georgia. The tires are Kumhos and have deep tread. The factory black crosslace wheels (which were required with the 5.7 engine) are of nice driver quality and have great shine. The photo of the one wheel is representative of all four wheels. In summary, this is a very rare, nicely documented third gen Pontiac that is a very popular one year only color, 5.7 liter engine, hardtop, and complete with under 100k miles. This car is a nice driver as is and deserves to one day be disassembled and treated to a full restoration, which was my plan, but I have now decided to sell it to concentrate on other things in life. This is a 7 day auction and has a reasonable reserve. I require a $500 down payment via PAYPAL within 24 hours of auctions end. The balance must be paid in full and cleared at my bank or paid with cash at time of pick up. I will be glad to store the car at my home garage for a couple of weeks until shipping arrangements can be made. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 229-392-7111. My name is Jason and thanks again for looking at my auction! |

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
