My son left for college and now I have a car that needs to move. I got this car for my son 2 years ago and he only put about 7000 miles on it during that time. I have replaced a lot of items to be sure it was safe for him to drive and look good. Below are some of the items that were replaced or added in the last 2 years.
2 complete sets of tires on Rims a total of 7000 miles on the 2 sets combined. Chrome for the summer, stock for the winter.
New Exhaust
Brakes
Headliner
Stereo
Tail light covers
Don't get me wrong, this is a 16 year old car with 160K miles on it. Overall the car looks good but the closer you get the more dings, scrapes and problems you see. The paint shines, the T-Tops do not leak, the interior is clean. The car has a nice exhaust sound with the new dual exhaust. Headlights go up and down without any problems. The airbag light is on, but it has been since we bought the car. There are no other lights or problems with the gauges.
The V6 engine runs well with no real problems that I am aware of.
The car does have A/C but it does not hold a charge for very long but with the T-tops my son did not think it was a problem.
Basically if you want a car that looks pretty good, runs well and is fun to drive all at a cheap price this is the car for you.
The accident listed in the history report last year was very minor. My son slid on a wet road into someones front yard. The police would not let him move it because it was on the lawn so it had to be towed. The nose got scraped up so we had it repainted. Other then that there was no damage.
Bid to win. The opening bid amount is the reserve!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
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.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
