I am selling my Beautiful 1969 Pontiac Bonneville.  I truly hate to see this go, but my daughter is getting married so this Baby and our Boat have to go.  I have never driven a vehicle that has gotten more attention than this car.  From Corvettes to Camaros, Cadillacs to Chargers, NOTHING has gotten the attention this vehicle demands.  Young and Old.  Everybody loves this car since it is so unique.  I purchased this vehicle in Kentucky a little over a year ago from a gentleman who had it in his family since new.  He gave me receipts that total $25k for all of the upgrades.  I will try to include the highlights.  It has a 400 GTO motor with a Turbo 400 Transmission.  This engine is very strong and runs down the road like a champ. Dual Exhaust that sounds great.  Not too loud, but just perfect.   I recently had my mechanic of 20 years install a new Holley Carburetor.  I can get details from him if anyone wants because I am not a mechanic.  I also put 2 new tires on the front and had the front end aligned.  The rear tires are in great shape.  The Foose Wheels are in Excellent Condition.  Wheels and Tires were about $2800. It has a custom box with Two 12 Inch Subs with Two Amps in the Trunk.  It has a detachable face Stereo/CD Player.  The system sounds great.  I think the gentleman I bought the car from said he paid $3k for the sound system.  All is included with the car.  I am not one of those guys that says, "Here's the Car, if you want everything, it will cost you more".  The AC works.  The top was recently installed before I bought it.  It is in great shape.  The plastic on the cover for the top that "tucks" into the trim is off on the corners as you can see if the two pics.  I have not taken it in to see what that will cost to fix as it did not bother me.  I will try to get some pics with the top up.  It started raining on me so I couldn't keep taking pics tonight.  There is some discoloration in the paint on the driver's side rear quarter panel.  The paint overall is in good shape.  I would say 8.5/10.  Maybe 9.  If you are a serious buyer and have questions, please call at 501-681-4857.  I have it at no reserve so the highest bidder wins.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The 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.
