1974 Pontiac Grand AM 400 cid / 4bbl Rochester (upgraded from the factory 4bbl) / Automatic Transmission This car has underwent a cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The body is excellent and the paint is in excellent condition with a super shine. The front seats and dash have been reupholstered and the carpet replaced. The engine has been rebuilt and a mild cam installed along with replacement of the factory dual exhaust system. The transmission has been rebuilt and a shift kit installed in. The car runs and drives excellent, all gauges work (except the clock), door hing pins have been replaced so there is no sag in the doors, tires are in good condition. There are two small scratches aproximately 3" long in the decklid near the lock that have been touched up, 2 chips on the passenger side near the top of the side rear window that were touched up (approximately the size of a pencil eraser), and only a few minor rock chips etc. There are no dents and the floors are in great condition. The car is missing the A/C compressor, lines, evaporator, and POA valve - all available from Classic Air. If the car does not sell, I will be adding the components and the price will go up accordingly. The seats and headliner are in excellent condition and the dash pad was recovered. The chrome on the rear bumper is driver quality with minor scratches and scuffs. The body is straight and the paint is in excellent condition with a fantastic shine as can be seen in the photos. There are minor imperfections that are unnoticeable unless you get within inches of the surface and catch them in the right light. I point this out as this is the type of information I want when purchasing a vehicle on-line. This is definitely an attention grabber at shows as most people have either never seen one or have never seen one in the condition this car is in. With the muscle car prices continuing to climb, the collector market is starting to look towards the later year Pontiacs as the next collectibles. You can already see the 70's Firebirds and TA's increasing, the Grand AM is a rarer vehicle with essentially the same drivetrain. Feel free to send an inspector to look over the vehicle, I will make sure we work to accommodate their schedule. I am able to store the car for an arranged period of time after the auction in a heated / air conditioned environment, and can work with you on arranging shipping. |

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.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
