1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am This is a Turbo Bandit Trans Am
This is a Y84 special edition Trans Am. This is a barn find that I have had for about 8 years now. I have not had time to start this project and a recently lost the warehouse that I was storing the vehicle in. So its now for sale. Title is clear and reads exempt. I was told when I bought the car that it had only 22,053 miles on it. That it had been stored in a barn/car port for 20 years. Rust actually is only apparent on the floors. Even then its minimal except for the drivers pedal area. Looks like someone cut the floor board area where it meats the lower firewall area. I think this was done to install headers on the engine that someone put in the car at one time. A poor repair job has been done on the floors. To do it correctly the drivers side front floor section should be replaced. Quarter panels are real nice and rust free. . Doors are in good shape . Both fenders and the hood are in real nice shape but will need minor work. I believe the mileage to be the actual 22,053 due to the shape of the body mounts, suspension bushings, control arms, springs and such. Its just a shame that someone took this car apart years ago to put a Pontiac 350 motor in it and never put the car back together. Original fenders, hood and facial were all gone when I purchased the car. The ones you see in the pictures are good and usable. So what you have is a good solid body and frame to work with. Two engines and the original transmission come with the car as well. One 301 Turbo Motor with 19,000 original miles on it. * I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS THE ORIGINAL #S ENGINE FROM THE CAR.* One 350 Pontiac motor that was in the vehicle and running when I bought it. Code XC HEAD CODE 4C One original 350 trans that came with the car. Two sets of Turbo's, Carburetors, exhaust manifolds, turbo pipes etc. All the parts in the pictures. It would be nice if someone would bring this Bandit back to life. I just don't have the time or the place anymore. |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
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.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
