Up for auction is my 97 Trans am convertible. There were less than 1,000 convertibles built in 1997 so these cars are getting rare and hard to find. I'm trying to make room in my shop and just don't drive the car that much anymore. The body is in good condition there are several small dings and chips but still vary good for it's age .Paint is fair. The top is the original so it is showing some age but does not leak and no tears. DON'T let the rebuilt title run you off. This car had a dent in the right quarter panel , broken tail light , small tears in front and rear bumper covers. Bumper covers were replaced with GM covers. Frame was professionally checked and found to have no damage. I had a aftermarket ram-air hood put on ( looks better than stock hood ) . Car report shows no flood damage, was not stolen and recovered and no serious damage. Interior is normal for a car with 103,000 miles leather seats are good, door panels good, rear panels have some scratches. Factory radio was replaced with a Pioneer that is IPod compatible. There is a 10 disc Sony cd player in trunk works ok but is an older unit. Trans Am graphics are from auto graphics and are reflective. The LT1 350 runs good and strong oil pressure is good no knocks or ticks no smoking out the tail pipes. There is a small oil leak from the valve covers from sitting so much the last couple years. Battery was replaced this spring with a HD Dura last from auto zone. Transmission shifts good with no slipping. Tires are the fusion ZRI and are in good shape 50-70% life left in them. Car does not have or come with warranty and is sold as is. Buyer is responsible for shipping.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
