1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This car was in storage for 12 years in a two car garage in Mississippi when I bought it. It was a father and son project that partially got started. I bought it and transported it to my garage where it has also sat untouched for an additional year and a half. I also purchased a gold 1978 trans am parts car and removed all the good parts off of it and they are also included in this auction. Extra Hood, two rust free straight front fenders, extra taillights, turbo 350 trans, extra leaf springs, the entire truck of this car is full of extra parts, some new, like a brake booster and master cylinder, box of new sub frame rubber bushings, etc. also new rear brake drums, new front brake rotors and calipers, extra upper and lower control arms, two extra steering boxes, steering rod, links, tie rods etc. the car has the original numbers matching w72 performance 6.6 liter engine with closed chamber heads stamp code 4., it also has the original factory Borg Warner 4 speed trans. Included also is four other engine blocks and three sets of cylinder heads, one of the set of heads are the casting 62 which are fairly hard to find. two extra intake manifolds both are the older performance non-EGR type. Three engine blocks are 400s and one is a 455. The 455 block is at standard bore as are two of the 400s. The 400 engine block on the engine stand has been at a machine shop and already prepared for rebuild. It also has a newly turned crank that goes to it. All the extra engine parts I bought, came with the parts car, so I don't know what machine shop did the work, but it is marked and tagged with the needed info. The car itself is in pretty solid condition with the normal rust on the floor panels, and other minor areas. The frame, rocker panels and other areas seem solid. This car is a project and will need to be completely stripped down and rebuilt for proper restoration. The entire interior will need restoration as well. The truck pans are in good shape and around the rear window is solid, the t-top seals were removed for inspection and the metal is solid in that area also. There is a little rust on the front windshield window posts see pics., also when I bought the car, the rear bumper was missing. I suspect it was removed due to a small damaged area on the left rear quarter, see pics. Included is a gold rear bumper from the parts car. Also under the hood, someone removed the brake cylinder, the radiator and shroud, belts etc. not sure why. The engine in the car is not seized and seems to have no oil leaks, although it does have surface rust. The distributor is there but the cap and coil is not. I have not tried to start the engine because of the missing parts. I wasn't worried about it because I originally planed to take everything apart and restore. Also I forgot to mention one set of the cylinder heads are for the 455 they are matching to the block according to the previous owner. Please contact me with any and all questions you may have prior to bidding, I will be happy to answer all inquiries. My goal is to not misrepresent anything and for you to be happy if you are the winning bidder. The winning bidder must pick up the car and all parts locally in Foley Alabama. No shipping. Thank you for looking!

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford 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.
