Missoula, Montana, United States

Low Reserve, Bid only to Buy! Car is going to sell!
One owner 78 Trans am. Have PHS documented papers from the Pontiac historic society . Sold new right here in Missoula MT. Has Factory High Performance Pontiac 400 Numbers matching engine with W72 option ( high proformace engine with more horse power option). Very Rare. Factory Hurst shifter and Borg-warner T-10 4-Speed Manual transmission. Deluxe Interior package with power windows. Interior is way above average. No cracks in the dash, No rips in the deluxe cloth seats. Very nice for how old it is. Could use original carpet replaced. Could use carb adjustment. Windows need some attention to go all the way down. Paint is flaking off in spots. Only rust on car is drivers quarter and passenger side fender on the bottoms. Very Solid car otherwise. Solid floors, trunk, Rear valance behind gas tank and next to rear bumper. No rust in passenger quarter or driver side fender. Everything seems to work and drives very nice. Does not drip oil on garage floor. Engine sounds extremely healthy. The owner I bought it from said motor has not been out of car but you can hear that the cam is not stock. sounds like alot more power then stock so maybe work on engine was done in the car. I am not sure other than it does not sound stock and is very clean. I puchased the car from the son of the dad that bought it new and passed away a few months ago. Son did not know too much other then it was his baby and well cared for. CD player works but I removed wiring after I bought it and planned on rewiring it when I replaced the carpet. So , It still needs wired up. This is a rare and desirable car with very nice options. Black interior and silver platinum paint. Nice wheels and tires. Have clear title. Comes with original shaker. I bought one that was not cut out, so both come with car. Has Posi rear-end . Has new starter and rebuilt radiator. All PHS documents and spare parts, extra shaker go with car. I have sold a few cars in 2010 and many parts on eBay. I have perfect feedback on cars and parts for many years. I try to describe the best I can so no surprises. It would not take much money to turn this car into a high dollar car or drive the way it is. I like the hard top because if you have more then 220hp the t-top car can twist on a fast take off. T-top cars dont do well with more horsepower because they are not stiff enough. T-tops also always leak. 4 speeds are rare and getting very hard to find especially in the 77-78 bantit looking years. Cash in person or funds clear before car goes anywhere. I am happy to work with your shipper or pick you up at airport for you to drive home. Car has 119000 miles. Same style car as in the Movie Smokey and the bandit accept no leaking t-tops and can handle the power better. Any questions let me know. 406 239-9817

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.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
