Up for auction is a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. This car is 100% rust free. None anywhere could be found. None in the trunk, nor in the floor pans, or in the fender wells. This is an estate auction, and I am selling it for the family.It has an 11-12 year old make over, to include new paint, white and leather seats, white and leather door panels, and after market American racing wheels and tires. The interior is starting to show its age. The carpet has no rips or tears, but is sun faded.It still has the original floor mats. The trim panels next to the rear seats need to be removed and repainted or replaced. The center console is in tact, but could stand to be repainted or replaced. The dash has 2 cracks in it, but is still not too terrible.There is no rips or tears in the seats, and they are still in nice shape, as well as the door panels. The headliner is in excellent condition. The dash panel and instrument cluster are in very nice shape. With a little work and a little money, the interior could be awesome. The body is in great shape, except for some damage on the drivers door. It was estimated to be $400-$600 for repairs and repaint of the door. The rest of the body and paint are still in excellent condition, other than some very minor scratches and a couple of rock chips. The car runs and drives down the highway as well as any 79 Trans Am could. The steering is tight, and the a acceleration is very responsive. The brakes work great and appear to be at least 60% on the fronts. The transmission shifts very smoothly.The drive train appears to be untouched, other than an after market chrome alternator. All the emissions are still intact. The a/c is complete, minus the belt. It's condition is unknown. The tires have a another summer on them, and will probably need replaced.The car does not burn or leak any fluids. All in All this car is still very impressive as it sits. I estimate another $1000.00 put into it, and somebody is going to have one sweet Bird. The vehicle has 136,000 miles on it but you would not be able to tell the way it starts, runs, and drives. This of course is not a $12,000-$15,000 car, but it has a lot of potential,and the reserve is set at a very reasonable price. Please feel free to ask any questions you can think of, and I will answer them as best I can. I urge anyone thinking of bidding, to come and take it for a ride yourself, and check out its beauty. Thank you for looking.

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.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
