1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula 5.7 With Corvette Mods on 2040-cars
Perrysburg, Ohio, United States
|
1989 Pontiac WS6 Firebird Formula 350. The original engine
was replaced two years ago with a LT1 from an early 90’s Corvette.(it has est.80,000 miles on it) It has the
dual catalytic converter exhaust with customized headers for adaptation of the
LT1 engine. The tranny is automatic and was rebuilt by Cottman Trans. With insistence
that they shim the clutch packs to make it the firmest shifting. The rear axle
is the heavy duty one paired with all the V8’s. The brakes have been replaced for heavy duty
with drilled and slotted rotors. The wheels are the factory option aluminum
Formula rims and are in very good condition. The tires are brand new with less than 100
miles on them. The car has glass T-tops. The body was repainted and had the
T-top gaskets replaced eight years ago. Other features are factory A/C,
aftermarket AM/FM radio and CD player, power windows, door locks and trunk,
tilt column with quick-ration steering. There are some issues with the interior with the headliner,
sun visor and upholstery consistent with an older car. The rear spoiler has
degraded and a mount is loose. More pics can be made available upon request. Thanks for looking!

There are issues with the cloth also, but with some TLC this can look much better. This is specialty vehicle for an enthusist who wants to play with it. This is not a "go to work type car".

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.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
