I found this car in 2005 from a local guy who had it in his garage since 1982. He told me he bought the car in 1978 and he was the second owner so the odometer reading at 48, 483 miles is original. I spent the next 6 years restoring the car. Underside of car is painted with POR 15 and I painted every other part on car. The body has patch panels welded in on rear quarters behind the tires. To the best of my knowledge this is a numbers matching 1 of 6,140 with a 4 speed. The engine was taken to a local machine shop and was found to be in great shape so the block was only honed and the crank polished, new rings and bearing installed along with a new comp cam, lifters. The heads are milled and rebuilt so the engine is all new and it has around 300 miles on in. I had the flywheel resurfaced and a new centerforce duel friction clutch installed. New Hooker headers and a full 3" 409 stainless Pypes exhaust. The front suspension was all rebuilt and all new shocks. Rear springs are original ( no air shocks). Brake system had new master cylinder and new calipers and wheel cylinders, all new brake pads and shoes, rotors and drums are original and resurfaced. Metal brake lines are the original but all flex lines are new. I installed new door gaskets, carpet and headliner. The front seats are original 1975 deluxe buckets but are white from a parts car I bought to get the dash out of. I do have the original passenger seat but the drivers seat had some issues. The seats are in good condition just the wrong color and at this time they just have seat covers on them. The tires are new from 2010 and also have 300 miles on them, they are taken off the car in winter as I have another set that the car is stored on. This is the original AM/FM radio and it works but new speakers. The only option the car came with is tilt wheel, no power windows or locks and no ac .The car always start right up and runs and drives great. Oil pressure is great and you can see in one pics. I have an original 4 core radiator from an ac car so it always runs cool. Car also has new hoses and belts. The factory rims are painted silver and a light blue not the original gray and the bumper black is gloss not flat. The trim for the front and rear glass is painted black along with the door handles and locks and the front grills. I do have another complete set of these parts in the original chrome that can go with the car. I have another bird delete hood painted to match car that can be negotiated along with other spare parts. I have receipts for parts purchased.
Thanks for looking.
This is the era I grew up in and this car brings back those memory's and is so nice to drive/cruise around in!!!
Would love to keep this car but one kid remaining and college is a year away!

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.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
