I am selling this car at no reserve because it has developed a knock. I took it to NAPA's garage and they said it could be spark knock or main bearing failure. It shows good oil pressure so I'm not sure what's going on. I am moving and don't have room at my new house to take an engine out if need be so I'm cutting my losses and selling it as is. I purchased it for $5,800 and it was driving strong with no problems but I took it three blocks from my house two weeks ago and it started knocking. The 400 engine was rebuilt by the previous owner as was the 400 tranny and a shift kit was installed. It has positraction rear and power steering/brakes. It has a brand new Holley 4160 aluminum carburator and electric fuel pump. The body is extremely straight and is nearly rust free with surface rust bubbling on the bottom of the wheelwell (see pic.) There are a couple paint chips that were repaired by the previous owner. The frame is also in great shape and only shows surface rust also. Original Rally rims are in excellent shape with like new Cooper tires all around. Interior is in great condition with NO dash cracks and it retains the original mahogany wood on the console and dash(only year for this,next came decals.) The seats are worn and ripped in a few places but the cushions and springs are still in excellent condition. It has new sway bar bushings and shocks are like new,it drives down the road straight,handles and stops like it should.I hate like hell to let such a clean example go but I can't keep it if my wife's gonna scream at me everytime she sees it. You can email me with any questions and I'll try to answer asap. Or you can call my home(309)444-9712 or my cell(702)576-6141. You're more than welcome to come check it out but obviously it will need to be trailered.Thanks for looking and have a great day.

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.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
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.
