For sale is my beloved 1966 Pontiac GTO.
A true 242 car. This car is 90% restored with only the interior remaining. I did a complete frame-off restoration. I have pictures of everything to prove it. Engine/Trans are not numbers matching. I had a quote of approx $3000 to complete the interior by a local shop. The price of the car should reflect what I believe it would need.

Car was painted with Dupont ChromaBase / ChromaClear system. Included is extra paint and clear with activators and hardners in case any color matching would ever need to be done. Included will also be a flash drive of all the restoration pictures and a folder full of receipts for every purchase.
All original sheet metal.
No patching or filling.
I kept this car as original as it would have come from the factory. Manual steering, manual 4 wheel drum brakes, no A/C - the way a muscle car should be. I have a huge book with receipts for every dime I spent on the restoration.
The car was featured for the month of May in the 2012 Dwyer & Michaels car calendar. (A local contest)
I built this car to drive, not trailer. So, that said there are a few minor paint flaws, rock chips, etc. No rust, no rot, undercarriage painted and finished nice. There is a small ding in the hood where a bolt was caught in the fan and went up in the hood.
I have a clear IL title in my name and in my hand so there is no nonsense. Not looking to trade or mess around.
Car is located in Hampton, IL.
Three Zero Nine, Three One Four, Four Two Five Zero
Serious buyers only please.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
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.
