Runs like a Top!

1991 Pontiac Sunbird LE 2dr Convertible
I've owned the convertible for twelve years, bought it used in '99. I love it but it's starting to show its age. I've had it repainted and put a new roof on it. But it survived three accidents, two front and one side very well. It's a very heavy car but it has always had brake problems. It just doesn't want to stop and the brakes on the back wheel lock up. The car also leaks and the … resulting water has destroyed the gauges. The air conditioning now has a leak and doesn't work but what do you want for a car that's 20! And it still runs really well. I know it will get me where I am going .

1991 Pontiac Sunbird LE 2dr Coupe
Bought my red LE two door with the 3.1 V6 and a 5 speed trans. Got good gas millage with it. Always 26 minimum. The car died in 2001 with 174000 miles on it. The body was rotting away. The trans had a bearing going. The engine blew a head gasket. I drove it for 10 miles with no water. Amsoil kept it going. Cracked the block. I junked it. Only thing I did was maintenance, … brakes, tires and all 6 fuel injectors. As the car got older, it got better mileage. When it died, it was getting 33 to 35 just driving around. I miss that car.

1991 Pontiac Sunbird GT 2dr Coupe
My 'bird Gt has treated my well it has
170000miles on the original motor with
no rebuilds. It doesnt burn oil and
still beats new cavaliers and sunfires
and almost any honda. The fuel millage
is ok. The ride it rough, but i love
driving this car. The 3.1 5speed combo
is great.

1991 Pontiac Sunbird LE 4dr Sedan
I love this car. It has lasted for the past eighteen years and it has no problems what so ever. it performs well in all weather and I love the color. I hope that it can last another 20.
