Up for sale is a 1970 Pontiac LeMans someone started to turn into a GTO Judge Clone. They added the spoiler in the back and what looks to be an original GTO Ram Air Hood. The original build sheet (which is included with the car) shows a 350 engine but the side of the car and air cleaner say 400 so I have no way to tell whether this is the original engine and transmission or not. I am not a mechanic and so I really don't know. It starts and runs (like a bat out of hell if you step on it) and the odometer has not changed from 22941 miles since I got it about 6 months ago. My friend who is a mechanic said he recommended a carb cleaning and/or rebuild and that the odometer/speedometer not working is probably a disconnected or broken cable (available on eBay for around $25). I was told the transmission is a 400 and it seems to shift fine through the gears. The car has Power Brakes, Power Steering, and was a factory AC car but the compressor has been removed. I took the car to the antique car show at the Howard County Fair and it got lots of compliments. It sounds awesome with the nearly new dual exhaust and just exudes American Muscle. The car does have some rust in the usual places like between the vinyl top trim and the body and the paint is bubbling and/or cracking in several places. I am sure this is an older restoration car that could use some touching up but I don't think it will take much to turn it into almost a show car. It's a nice driver as it is and someone could have a lot of fun with it. The trunk pan needs work where it meets the wheel well as that area has the worst see through rust. I have not had it on a lift but peeking under it, the car is not bad at all and she feels solid riding down the road. This is a 43 year old car so it is not going to be perfect and you can expect that not everything will work nor will it look flawless. Please don't be a dreamer but approach the car with an open mind of what you get into with an older car but also how much fun it would be to have a muscle car like this. They are getting harder and harder to find in running and driving condition. In fully restored condition, these cars are selling for upwards of $12K-$15K or more. In wrecked condition or needing total restoration they go for between $3 and $6K. At a $5000 Buy It Now price, you'll be hard pressed to find another one in as good of a condition and I paid more for it than I am selling it for but have no storage for the winter and don't want it left outside. The headliner needs to be replaced (around $70 on eBay) as well as the front bench seat cover (around $100 on eBay). Other than that, the interior is actually in very nice shape with no cracks in the dash and the rear seat looks like it just came off the Baltimore GM Plant assembly line. The 8 track radio has been removed but you can put whatever you want in it's place. The horn does not work. Brakes seem to work fine and the larger American Racing rims and tires on the back of the car sitting on the tall coil springs makes the car look pretty cool. She does leave a few drip spots on the driveway but nothing is pouring out of the car. It has been a heck of a lot of fun playing with it the last couple months but I have no winter storage capability and just don't want to see the weather get to it. I'd like it to go to someone who will enjoy it even more than I have and maybe wants to tackle a real easy restoration over the winter months. The LeMans includes two sets of keys, a reproduction original owner's manual, what's left of the deteriorating original build sheet, and a brand new Haynes repair manual. There is no warranty expressed or implied with this car. There are no refunds or exchanges. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at time of auction close or when clicking "Buy it Now". I try to price my cars very reasonably. The car is registered and insured and you are welcome to call me at 301.633.8116 to schedule a time convenient for both of us to meet to test drive the car. I have worked with several shipping companies and can assist with getting a transport quote and getting it loaded onto a shipping carrier truck but all shipping costs are at the buyers expense and the car doesn't leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. Someone will really enjoy this car! Thanks and good luck bidding! |

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.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
