Barn (garage) find has been in not so friendly storage since 1984
Car was modified slightly and many engine parts were not there, I do have the original engine block correct stamped with the VIN standard bore, I do not have the correct heads, intake, carb, distributor etc, just the bare block. Most of the parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive.
The original transmission, bell housing and shifter are also MIA.  The original clutch linkage is there with the pedals and z bar.
The original 8.5 10 bolt posi with 3.23 gears and rear disc brakes is there.
The body is very solid except for three areas shown in the photos, the drivers side tow board under the pedals has some good size holes and will need to be patched or replaced.  The cowl around the body trim tag has some perforation.  The weatherstrip trough on the drivers side t top is rusted through in one spot.  The quarters and trunk floor are very solid, the car had nitrous and a trunk mounted battery so there are several small holes 4 @ 5/16" and three larger 1/2 holes for the cables and nitrous line.  The front fenders have some surface rust on the bottom edge as do the doors.   The hood is straight but does have surface rust.  The shaker has been modified and the bottom portion removed and it was bonded to the hood, the metal air cleaner assembly is missing.  All the Trans Am specific flares and spoilers are there, the aftermarket rear flares shown have been removed and sold.
The interior is the original deluxe hobnail cloth in red and in very good condition except for some fading on the top of the rear seat.  The door panels have good vinyl but the rear paper is warped and the carpet on one is damaged.  The dash and steering wheel are excellent.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob 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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
