Up for sale is my 1979 Trans Am, 10th Anniversary 4 Speed! I owned this car for 5 years. I'm the third owner. The gentleman who owned it before me had it for over 20 years. The first 120,000 miles were put on it in the first 7 years of its life. I have only put about 4000 miles on it. Currently the original 400 block is not in the car, but WILL be included in the sale. Its located in Dayton and I'll make the arrangements to have the block brought to Little Rock, unless otherwise specified by the winning bidder. The original block is bored 60 over, has new pistons and cam that are all included. The top end was put on the 455 thats in the car now. Newly rebuilt 455 with less than 1500 miles on it. I just drove the car over 600 miles in one day with zero issues! I have the original buildsheet that was found behind the rear passenger seat. Pontiac 455 60 over, Butler Performance Rods, Crank, and Pistons. Fresh uncut 6X-4 heads, Ram III Intake, Q-Jet rebuilt by Cliff's High Performance, RARE OS Exhaust Manifolds, PYPES X Pipe and RARE Spintech mufflers. Heads and q-jet off original motor. I do not have the original intake or manifolds, but they are very easy to come by. I have all the A/C components. New Parts: Brake lines, calipers and pads, master cylinder, parking brake cable, tie rods, center link, ball joints, front sway bar bushings, control arm bushings, front springs (Eibach lowering), all shocks (Monroe Sensa-Trac), aluminum radiator, distributor, plug wires. The LEDs on the 8 track dont work but the radio and all its functions work, the passenger side power door lock doesn't work, the headliner will need replaced. Overall this car is in good shape. Doors close nicely, T-Tops are in good shape. It was repainted about 10 years ago with new graphics. The hood bird is in great shape. This is not a show car but with very little work could be. Paint has chips. I would rate the paint/body 7 out of 10. Please feel free to call for more details. Brian (830) 765-4091

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
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.
