One of the last great Pontiacs
built! This 1997 Formula would have been a great collectors item just as
it sits in tuxedo black with leather interior, T-tops, manual 6spd
transmission, A/C & the full compliment of power features. However
this car was ordered with the SLP FIREHAWK package & ALL of the optional
competition model upgrades making it one of the most sought after performance
cars of it's day.
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of Options listed above: $4,595.00 Optional FIREHAWK Upgrades Ordered:
Total SLP Firehawk Options Ordered/Installed: $8,139.00 Added to the already hefty price of $25,114.00 for the Formula and with a dealer markup added for rarity - this car stickered at $36,248.00 when sold new at Capitol Pontiac/Buick/Cadillac in Boise, ID in 1997! Documentation includes the original window sticker, the SLP sticker, Optional Equipment sticker with adjusted market value, original (blank) SLP ordering package with photo, and all door jamb stickers from Pontiac & SLP intact & in beautiful legible condition. The car has been maintained beautifully and it shows. Replaced in the last 30 days: Distributor, plug wires, valve cover gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, PCV valve & hoses, Serpentine belt, all fluids/filters and two tires. The A/C is fully charged & works properly, the window motors work as they should and the headlight buckets operate correctly. There are no codes present or pending, the clutch is tight, engine strong, free flowing SLP exhaust has a great throaty sound and the car handles like it is on rails! This car is in very nice driver condition with only a few defects worth mentioning. The car has been refinished and the paint shows nicely with very few chips, scratches or cracks in the paint on the front & rear bumper covers. One of the fog lights is missing (easily replaced), the driver's seat has a small tear from a careless mechanic with something in his back pocket, and the chrome on the four wheels has started to lift & peel. This is a car you can purchase to drive any day to work or for weekend trips to the beach. It's factory rated at 26 mpg on the highway and will do better if you can restrain yourself from standing on the gas pedal - on a recent 200 mile trip I got 25 mpg while fighting the temptation to push the car. Values on these cars have started to climb and those equipped with the competition options rarely come up for public sale and command the highest prices. This one is conservatively valued based on miles & condition and should continue to rise over the years. These cars are the COPO Camaros of this generation and are already recognized as such. I had planned on keeping this car for a while but have been offered another car I've been chasing for years so it needs to go. The car is available as needed for inspection/verification and test drive but realize - once you drive it, you will want it! As always - please don't waste your time or mine if you are not a serious buyer/collector or need to ask somebody's permission to buy the car or use the money. Low ball offers are for amateurs, real collectors have done their research and know what these cars are worth and understand their rarity - this is not your regular Firebird/Formula/Trans Am & the FIREHAWKS were not all built the same! |

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.
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.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
