As it came from the factory EXCEPT I installed an aluminum radiator and thermo controlled DUAL electric fans to
help cool it, PLUS an Edelbrock Performer Intake. (Org. intake available on request)
All new brakes inc. rotors, drums and master cyl. shoes and pads.
New upper control arm bushings, NEW 255/60R 15 Cooper Cobras on FACTORY Snowflakes in GREAT shape, new center caps
and aligned.
I painted it Jet Black then added Plasma Blue Pearl Pearl in the Clear. 3 Coats. Deep shine that's Black in shade,
DARK blue in the sun or under lights. Color sand and buff it'd be a show car!!
NOTICE: I changed AC condenser, dryer, hoses and added a "remanufactured compressor" from Auto Zone that CRASHED
first test drive. The system still holds pressure but the compressor clutch went out.
Interior restored inc, NEW headliner, dash cap, AM/FM cassette, amp and 6 speakers. New door panels, pull handles,
console, carpet, shifter knob. Tilt column with new MoMo wheel.
New glass and windshield, swipes and weather strip kit. New wiper motor, arms and blades. New shaker seal rubber,
ALL new decals and pin stripes. New outside door handles. Changed the tail lights and side markers to improve the
look.
Installed NEW heater core and blower fan. (The vents won't change position. Must be a vacuum thing)
This is a GREAT car for a son/daughter's first car or college driver as it's NOT A HOT ROD!!, It's REAL CLOSE to
factory. With a little work, and a small investment, add an AC compressor clutch, fix the vent thing, detail the
under carriage (I'm disabled and CAN'T get under there myself) color sand/buff the paint (It's fine for a driver
as/is btw) and it'll be a $30K plus seller at Mecum or Barrett-Jackson

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
