1978 Pontiac Trans Am 400/4-speed WS-6 performance package
Complete, numbers matching car with 69,000 original miles. This car has been totally restored to a very high level with no expense spared. Car is documented by Pontiac Historical Services, which includes original factory invoice. Engine, transmission, and rear differential have been restored within less than 5,000 miles. Every part of this car has been addressed and has been either rebuilt or replaced if necessary.
Custom touches have been added to set this car apart from your run- of-the-mill Trans Am. These items include a complete striping kit from a 1977 Special Edition Trans Am which includes all gold emblems, gold dashboard bezel, NOS Special Edition steering wheel, and Special Edition gold bird center caps mounted on restored 15x8 WS6 honeycomb wheels with BF Goodrich 255 60 R15 tires, including spare. All chrome window moldings have been painted to match the car, just like a Special Edition Trans Am. Undercarriage, engine compartment, and trunk have been completely detailed. This is the first year for WS6 performance package and is one of 489 built that year. This figure was obtained via 78ta.com. All parts used during restoration were either NOS or GM restoration parts, down to the spark plug wires. Thanks for looking!
In the past 5 years the following has been completed: The original 400 motor was rebuilt with slightly better camshaft, Ram Air exhaust manifolds with new complete exhaust system-magnaflow mufflers. A Carburetor from another 1978 Trans Am was professionally rebuilt and the Super t-10 Transmission and clutch were replaced with a remanufactured unit in November 2008. The rear end and brakes were completely rebuilt with new axels and seals, new and correct interior, new tires with honeycomb rims that were professional restored, new suspension and finally a new complete paint job about 6 years ago. The car is about as close to a frame-off restoration as it can get and is just about like new. The only item that does not work is the clock-everything functions as it should and the car drives great! Starts right up, has updated Pertronix ignition. This drives like a car should. Windows, Door locks and Rear defrost work great. The seats had new padding installed and feel and look
If you’re looking for a non-T-top Special high performance Trans Am, this is it! It is exceptional in all areas and stands out with the right options. No worry about leaking T-tops here and it is a much more solid ride without those tops.

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.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
