1978 Trans Am 461 Ci. Auto, Hurst T-tops, Black on 2040-cars
Loganville, Georgia, United States
6.6L car with 3-speed automatic transmission. 66,000 actual mile car that has received a full mechanical restoration. The car retains all of its originality that Pontiac intended, however the engine, transmission/, rear end and brakes have been upgraded over stock for the purpose of road rallying. The engine is now 461cid, polished and ported high flow heads, custom grind cam, super duty 800 CFM carburetor, the transmission is also upgraded. The brakes have benefited from a rear disc conversion and the suspension has been set up to Herb Adam's specifications. Interior is stock with the exception of a Valentine One radar detector and a period Cobra CB with trunk mounted whip, car retains its factory air conditioning. All work was carried out by Gas Monkey Garage in Texas. The only external visual modification is the use of a 1972 Trans Am functional shaker to increase air flow. Car has factory T-tops and retains original Hurst bag in the trunk next to matching 5th Rally II. Car is factory Ziebart car, so it has survived superbly. This car was used the official Bull Run Rally 2007 from Montreal to Key West. It was then taken to Europe by its owner and placed in his car collection in London. The car was then purchased and sent back to the states where it was stripped down to bare metal, sealed and painted with high quality PPG Starlight Black paint. The factory Rally II wheels in perfect condition were removed and a brand new set of 16" Cragger SS wheels with new tires were installed. The only other thing changed is an OEM black steering wheel was put in place of the factory red one. The car will come with either set of rims. "your choice after purchasing" Here is a link with a video of the car being displayed on Spike TV after the 2007 Bull Run, where it was driven by Chris Smith of Team Cockney. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khEFFC7TcMs

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.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
