Here is an unusual find.......a 1997 Pontiac Firebird convertible with less than 100 miles from new! It is a beautiful dark metallic green with tan cloth interior & tan power top. It has the series 2 3800 V6 & 5-speed manual transmission and all the available power options. It has 78 miles on the odometer and still smells new!
Here's the story......a good friend of mine (who's in his 70's now) has been a car guy his entire life. He bought a '64.5 Mustang convertible off the showroom floor back in the spring of '64 and still owns it to this day. Back in the 80's & early 90's he was heavily into the Pontiac Fiero....which is when I met him (I was also big into the Fiero at that time). By the late 90's & early 2000's he was moving towards the 4th Gen F-body and had about 20 various Camaros & Firebirds.....his favorite driver today is a '99 Trans-Am. Anyway, he purchased this Firebird convertible in July 1998 to give to his wife, but subsequent to his giving it to her she mentioned how much she hated those things. So he never gave it to her and the car sat in the corner of his warehouse ever since.
Late last year he mentioned that he'd like to sell it and after hooking up a new battery it would not start. The fuel pump was shot. We had a new Delphi fuel pump installed, but it still would not start, so a set of rebuilt fuel injectors and a new fuel filter were installed too. It fired right up and runs & drives great.....just like the new car that it is. I drove it about a mile to the storage garage and the only thong "wrong" with the car are the tires have flat spots from sitting for almost 15 years, but if you are just adding this to your collection this will not be an issue. If you plan on driving the car then new tires should be the first thing you replace anyway.
With the exception of the battery, fuel pump & injectors this car is exactly as it was when it left the factory. There are some small scratches & scuffs on the rear bumper from bumping into the wall when it was parked in 1998 and some small clearcoat chips along the drivers door......nothing serious, but it must be mentioned. I took some pictures of these issues, so please take a good look at them. If you need better pictures then ask and I will e-mail them to you.
I have described this car as honestly as possible and while it is essentially a brand new car there are no warranties expressed or implied......it is a 15+ year old car, so anything can happen. I encourange you to ask me any & all questions prior to bidding so there are no doubts about anything. Also, you need to have at least 5 feedback points (with no negatives) otherwise your bid will be removed. If you have less than 5 and want to bid on this car then please e-mail me first and we'll talk about it.
High bidder will send a $1000 non-refundable deposit via Pay Pal within 24 hours of the auctions close with the balance due within 7 days of auction close. I can store the car for up to 2 weeks after the auction ends for no additional cost, but after that it will be $200/month (either way the car must be paid in full within 7 days of the auctions closing).
The reserve is very reasonable......about half of what it cost new, so please don't ask me what it is. Bid to own!
Thanks and good luck!

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.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
