1998 Pontiac Firebird Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l on 2040-cars
Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, United States
|
This is a 1998 Pontiac Firebird with a 3.8 liter V6 and 5-speed manual transmission. This is the very popular GM engine referred to as the "IRON DUKE". It's a 231 cubic inch V6 that is synonymous with reliability and longevity. It gets the fuel economy of a 6 cylinder, (26 mpg) and the performance of a small V8 (260 HP). The car handles well and is lots of fun to drive. All repairs done to this car since I've owned it were performed by a GM certified mechanic with GM parts. This includes new clutch and pressure plate, new oil pan gasket, valve cover gaskets,and water pump. The tires are P245/50-16 Mastercraft Avengers with the V-groove performance tread pattern and are like brand new with less than 5,000 miles. The hood is a true Pontiac Ram-Air hood from a WS-6 Trans AM as well as the rear deck lid/spoiler. these parts were professionally painted by a high reputed shop and the color match and clear-coat is a perfect match to the rest of the car. The overall condition of the body is very good with minor scuffs, scratches, and a couple small dings that are normal occurrence with a car that is 15 years old. The car has no rust and no paint peeling, chipping or cracking. It is kept garaged and covered when not driven. The interior is also very good condition. No cracks in dash, door panels, or any other plastic/vinyl parts. Seats and carpet are very nice and free of rips, tears, and burn holes. This car is not smoked in and shows minimal wear inside and out. All glass is free of cracks/chips and was professionally tinted with a lifetime warranty on window tint (not sure if the warranty transfers to a consecutive owner). The car does not have any leaks- oil drips, water leaks, and no smoke from exhaust. The battery is almost new and the car starts readily in any weather. The power windows/locks all work as well as the power trunk release. The stereo is the original Pontiac up-scale "Monsoon" with the CD player, AM/FM stereo tuner and graphic equalizer. The CD player will occasionally have trouble reading a disc. I was told the lens probably needs cleaning. The power antenna still works well up and down when you turn on the radio. The door latches work properly inside and out. The headlights are the retractable type and function perfectly up and down. The AC is currently not working. I had it charged with refrigerant and it blew cold air for a couple of days, so I know it works fine as long as it has enough refrigerant. I was told the compressor has a slow leak through a seal on the housing and it will probably need to be replaced to make it work without any future issues. The tee-tops in this car do not leak, rattle, or squeak. I know this is a problem in some cars. This Firebird is extremely nice and is very well maintained and cared for, but is in storage now more than it is driven, so it is time for someone new to drive it. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at solarbrown10@gmail.com or call me at 573-535-4255.

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
