You are bidding on a 100% original, 1970 GTO with 4-spd transmission, hood tack, A/C, and AM Radio with 8-track. PHS documented, matching number car with 400 cubic inch engine. Original Pepper Green with Sandlewood interior. Nothing to hide on this restoration candidate. All components there. Buy a 40-year old true muscle car with all original components intact and lovingly bring it back to life. When done you will have the satisfaction of rescuing a dying breed and have a vehicle worth well over $30,000.

Body

Body panels align correctly, doors close perfectly and do not sag. Looks like at some point in time the quarters were repaired and rear window corners repaired, maybe one repaint, or spot painting. But pictures do tell a thousand words and after 40 years be prepared for rust and body panel replacement from the doors back. No getting around needing both full quarter panels, trunk pan, inner and outer rear wheel housing, rear sill between rear window and trunk. Have lower driver fender patch panel, and other fender could easily be saved, but also could replace. The great thing is all of this sheet metal is readily available at reasonable prices.

The good points are both doors and underside of doors have escaped the rust demon, the hood is excellent, and the front endura bumper is great. Grilles, chrome trim, rear bumper all useable.

Additionally, the frame is solid with surface rust present, but no structural issues.

Mechanicals

As noted, the car has not undergone any mechanical restoration and is still a driver. Engine fires up and idles nicely. Still pulls strong. Clutch and transmission move through all gears nicely. Power steering good. Turn signals and electricals work. AM Radio works. Blower motor works. A/C compressor belt is not hooked up and believed seized. Front brakes work well, rear brakes have leaky wheel cylinders. It appears like suspension is completely original and never worked on (may have original shocks). In short, plan on going through all suspension, brake, and mechanical systems.

Interior

Much the same story here, need carpet, seat covers, headliner, door panels, etc. Dash has cracks at corners. Steering wheel missing one of horn buttons. This is a rare bench seat model and has seating for six! Convert to bucket seats, or leave original. All interior components are readily available.

Summary

This car needs the right individual to bring it back to life. Peppergreen with Sandalwood, 4-spd and A/C will be a fine, good-loooking cruiser. Remember your bid is a contract. $500 deposit due within 3 days of auction end, final payment in 7 days. Car can be driven on trailer and is operable. It drives around town but would not recommend driving home.

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.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR 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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
