Well, if your looking at this ad... then you have an interest in this brief wonderment produced by Pontiac. There are ton's of interesting tid-bits about its creation, and untimely death out here on the internet…So I won't try and dazzle you with that kind of trivia. What I can tell you is what separates this car from other Pontiac Fiero GT's. I purchased this car last summer from a gentlemen who's health was failing. The car had sat in storage since 2005, but before it was put away, it's previous life was fueled by the passion of this man to make this car "beat or keep up with any Mustang/Camaro on the street". What he did exactly to the car/motor isn't clear to me but by simply getting in it and strolling down the street you know this thing is ready to go. The story he told me (no I can't verify), is that he followed some magazine articles out of Pontiac Magazine and Hot Rod on how to give your Fiero more power. According to him, he had the motor bored out from the stock 2.8 to accept the innards of a 3.4. The results, a very powerful Saturday night HotRod and daily driver. What I've done: -Cleaned it up -Brakes all the way around -Flushed Clutch Fluid -Made it ready to be driven daily -Replaced Steering Column (it had a bad lower bearing in the tilt) What it needs: -If you want the AC to work, you will need an AC belt and assume a new compressor. -It could use a good set of tires all the way around, because of age and dry rot. -It really should have a stronger battery put in, the compression on the motor is almost too much for the stock battery. -The headlights stopped flipping up, but I have the rebuild kit (just haven't had the time). Also Included in Auction: Rear Wing, and 5 Original wheels Happy Bidding |

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.
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.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
