1996 Firebird, 3.8L V6, 5 Speed, 200HP, 142KM only. Lots of money invested in her.
-BFG G-Force Super Sport 275/35R18 Tires. -18" Black ADR Rims. -Black Widow Alarm -Dual exhaust, airbags -Tinted windows -MP3 Player and all speakers upgraded Lots of receipts, I have all records. All maintenance was always up to date and always done professionally. Original rims and tires come with the car. The new rims and tires cost over $2K and haven't seen much use. Car is currently garaged, and I haven't driven it in about two years. This has been my summer car only, and I've owned it for nine years. The car is being sold "As is", last time I drove it she was leaking some engine coolant, but other than that she drove beautifully. After two years the battery would probably need replacing. Some weird white marks on just the aluminum lips of the rims from at one time when the car was stored temporarily outside, not very noticeable, and could probably be buffed out. The fiberglass body is in great shape, the black paint is original and shines with minimal faults, as shown in pictures. The interior has always been well taken care of. When last driven, the engine, transmission, and everything else ran perfectly. The reason I garaged the car instead of fixing it was that I owned a business and couldn't spare the cash for my summer car. I ended up losing my business, and have now moved to a different province for work. The car is garaged on Vancouver Island with some family members, but I am not coming home for the foreseeable future so it's time to sell the car. So, if you don't mind towing it away and fixing some minor stuff, you'll get an amazing vehicle at a steal of a deal. |

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.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
