1970 Pontiac Firebird. Was originally a 350 4b auto on the floor/console car. Origional color was the one year only Polar White - can still see it under trunk and in other hidden areas. It was painted red sometime in the 80s. Now it has a Chevy 454 with Edelbrock heads, Edelbrock intake, demon carb, MSD ignition/distributor. Motor was built a while back, but runs nice once off idel due to intake/carb/cam/heads combination. It has headers with Flowmaster full dual stainless exhaust.
Rockers, fenders, doors are all nice - no repair needed. The blue fenders were better then the originals so they were swapped. I have 2 front ends - both useable, but one a bit better. Underside of the car is fantastic - never touched and no rot. It will need lower rear quarters patched (I have patches), small section of outer wheel house, and the rear lower valance.
Interior needs restored, but decent for it's age. Driver side seat has the usual tear, but passenger and rear are fine. Dash has a couple of cracks, console door hinge is broke.
It will run and drive as it is. I put new brakes on all 4 corners. It shifts as it should. Rear is not posi - one wheel peel and it will sure make a big cloud of smoke with those old school tires and rims. I have a formula hood that needs the corners repaired, but it won't fit over the 454's intake/carb combo. I was going to buy a L88 or cowl hood.
I HAVE THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AS WELL. The Pontiac 350 is free and in good condition, but would need at least gone over. I have the heads/intake off of it ready for rebuild.

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.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
