1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455-SD Tribute The Pontiac Trans Am 455 Super Duty was one of the most powerful Trans Ams that Pontiac every built. The style of the car and the power in which the models had was the inspiration for the tribute. The chassis is a 1973 Pontiac Firebird from the factory and the engine is a factory 73 date code Pontiac 455 which has been completely rebuilt. .020 on the mains, .040 on the rods, bored 30 over. New Mutha Thumper cam (intake lift .479, ex. lift .465, adv duration 279 297,duration @ .050 227 241, lobe separation angle 107) new pistons, valves, rings, lifters, all mechanical components to include oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, hoses, belts, plugs, plug wires and all. All that can be said about the motor and transmission in the car that makes an ultimate bad to the bone driver is that it is an unbelievably impressive car that can grab a bark in all four gears. There has never been a factory built car with this much torque and energy nor will there ever be another tribute car that can offer such an incredible display of power, performance, handling (will every single piece under the car being replaced and beefed up), the sound of the motor with the new exhaust system Flow Masters with 2.5" pipes, having the newly built factory air conditioning system that blows AC colder than it ever did the day the car was born, and on and on and on. This is a car that would list for over $85,000 as a numbers matching original, however, it has every single bit of glitz and glamour of an originally built 455 SD with more torque and power and sound than an original SD but with out the HUGE price tag. I would put this car up next to any numbers matching SD car any day of the week and guarantee it to smoke the tires off of any other SD car available, regardless of price point. The interior, body, paint, motor detail, under carriage detail, exhaust, decals, gauges, headliner, springs, transmission and sound are absolutely impeccable and are worth well over what the owner is asking for the vehicle. You HAVE TO DRIVE this car and HEAR this car to have any appreciation for how incredibly well built and well renovated this car is. All work was done in Knoxville, Tennessee by Copperhead Customs, a local and meticulous classic resto mod and rat rod shop. Bid with confidence knowing that the car was built with integrity, love, passion, quality and attention to detail in EVERY way. The owner has over $85,000 invested in the restoration and understands that a sacrifice is inevitable. Whomever buys this car is getting every single bit of a $85,000 car for a fraction of the price and as it is sported down the street, even the most knowledgeable of car enthusiasts couldn't tell the difference between this tribute car and a numbers matching factory car unless they had the set of numbers to compare it with. The car is not perfect but it is close to it and for the amount of money that you will spend on this classic muscle car compared to other factory Trans Ams, it will be perfect to you! One ride in this car will make anyone sell their prized possessions to take home the title to it. I cannot even describe what an amazing driver this car is. In fact, during the break in period when the car was driven for the very first time with the new motor, we couldn't stop at a red light or drive through a low speed zone and not hear, "man, that car sounds incredible" or "that is a beautiful car" or "what does that car have under the hood?". You will experience the exact same thing the moment you pull away in your new red 455 SD with all the sounds, looks and performance that you expected to have and will have for years to come. Good luck in your bidding! It is in fact one of the baddest 1973 Pontiac Transam 455 SD 4-speed tribute car's on the market today and you will be the envy of the neighborhood if you become the fortunate owner of this car.

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.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
