I am listing my 1976 Pontiac Trans Am and is for Sale locally as well. I have had this car for 15 years and had purchased from the second owner who had it since 1977.  The second owner purchased from a dealer who received the Trans Am on a trade in from the original buyer and has had since.  I have many receipts for the upkeep and replacement of the interior items such as carpet, headliner, stereo and speakers, seats being upholstered to OEM styling, wheels, tires.  The car does have PHS documentation which has proven this is a TRUE Trans Am and I do have also a "partial" build sheet and have pieced it together and it is 90% as the picture will show.  This car runs and drives great and handles super too.  It gets a lot of attention when ever I drive it.  Since buying from the Second owner in April of 1998 I have only logged 3,100 thousand miles over the last 15 years and has always been stored inside under a car cover.  

This is a Clean car and shows it.  Always passes California smog every time since purchase.  I also have many, many receipts that will go with the car along with 2 Superweave car covers that cost $300/each.  

If you want a really nice unmolested Trans Am that has PHS documentation, Numbers matching, Partial Build sheet to match car and authenticate it's origin and selling California dealer this car is a nice car.  If the car is sells I only hope that it goes to someone who can appreciate the car for what it is and as much as I have over the years.  The car is believed to be original paint and is an original in many ways.  The trunk and floor pans are ROCK SOLID as this car is and always has been a California car and has been extemely well taken care of.  

History - Sold to Dan Day Pontiac in Northern California, original buyer traded car in 1 year approximately later to another dealer, second owner purchased from the Dealer who took this in on trade and owned from 1977 until 1998.  I then purchased "Sight unseen" from this second owner and drove it from Merced California to Costa Mesa California and have pampered this car since then for the last 15 years.  I have all receipts that I have put into the car.  This is a nice car and is a "true" Trans Am.  Don't be fooled by others that claim to be.

Please know that this car is for sale locally and hope it goes to a good home.  I am only selling this beautiful car as I have had it and others I am selling for long enough.  I no longer have the time to enjoy them for what they are and know they really need to go to someone that can appreciate them for as much as I have for as long as I have.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The 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.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
