1975 Pontiac Trans Am on 2040-cars
Troy, North Carolina, United States
I have for sale my 1975 trans am 455 high performance. It is not numbersmatching but is put together with select high performance components to enhancethe power output. Don't let looks fool you. I bought it from the originalowner who had put a round port HO 455 race engine in it not long after he boughtit new.. It was taken out and now has a balanced and blueprinted 455 highperformance engine with 1971 #96 gto heads( 9.0 compression on a 455) stockwould be 7.6 compression and a1973 gto turbo 400 transmission with a workingdownshift switch on gas pedal like the 73-74 super duty. Stock 1975's wouldhave a turbo 350 with kick down cable. The Super Duty engine was rated at 290hp,actual is about 370hp. This engine has over 400hp. SD 1/4 mile stock was 13.5.This car can do a 12 second 1/4 mile. If you know anything about 75 transam's, the engines were weak(185hp for 400ic to 200hp for 455ci) .This carhas 390 gears (256 gears were stock).The engine, transmission, and rear end havebeen built with high quality parts. I changed the oil and bolted MT slicks on itjust to see the shift points in drive. It chirped the slicks from first tosecond at 5400rpm and shifted into third at 5400pm. Perfect! It has no leaks,squeaks, knocks, or whines. Oil pressure is around 80 psi cold. Hot is 25 to 30psi at idle with manual gauge inside car. The car looks factory stock under thehood with stock intake and quadrajet and out side with rally 2 wheels all round.You can set the choke, turn the key and it fires right up like from the factory.Everything is there to hook up the AC. The compressor is not shown but it goeswith the car. It does have a brand new aluminum radiator, starter, alternator,horns, master cylinder, wind shield wash

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
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.
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.
