1971 Pontiac Gto H.o. Matching #'s 455, Matching M-22 on 2040-cars
Grand Blanc, Michigan, United States
|
Little sister to the Judge, this is one of only 476 H.O. GTO’s that left GM production the 3rd week of May, 1971. With only 84,800 miles, it’s a fully documented, correct “number’s matching” Pontiac, OEM Muncie M-22 rock crusher equipped car, making it even rarer. Doug has owned this car since 1977, and kept all records and receipts. Less than 100 miles ago, it was repainted in its original code 59 Aztec Gold, and re-skinned and carpeted. Original dash shows nicely, with some small cracks in wood grain trim. A “no-hit” body, it passed a magnet test with flying colors, and sports its original 1/4 ’s, trunk and floor pans. In the past 1000 miles, the original LS-5 455 CI engine was rebuilt to specifications, lacking only the correct valve covers that Doug now regrets throwing away just after High School. Correct winters foundry intake, restored engine bay, restored front suspension, the under-hood looks good. Correct Saftey-track 3:31 12 bolt with original boxed lowers, new lower control arm bushings. Keeping a period look, the radio was gutted and hidden audio was installed, with remote hidden in the console. We hit 100 MPH in the video posted below, with lots more room!

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
