1986 PONTIAC FIREBIRD TRANS AM KITT KARR KNIGHT RIDER
DESCRIPTION: This is a 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am converted into a Knight Rider car. This is not a 100% screen accurate replica, but I'm not asking $30K-$60K either. This is a no BS, no reserve auction. I will NOT sell this car for less than the starting bid. Below is a list of some of the money I have invested in this thing. This list is for parts only and does not include all of the labor it took to put this thing together. Straight, solid (as in NO rust!) 1986 Trans Am $1,500 RBLT 383 Roller stroker motor $2,600 RBLT 700r4 w/shift kit $750 RBLT 10 bolt w/Richmond 4.10 gears $650 Turbo cast wheels, bowling ball hubcaps, and tires $800 Marks Custom Kits Inc. Knight Rider parts: Scanner w/interface $450 Season 3-4 nose $950 Season 3-4 dash package w/electronics $8,000 (Yeah, that's why you see a lot of these cars running around with the nose and scanner but a stock TA interior, or for those with the interior finished they want $30K-$60K). Paint and body work $2,500 Just in those parts alone, the total is $18,200! That doesn't include stuff like the tan 89 GTA interior, the smoked plexiglass taillight cover, or all the small parts needed in putting any car together. The car runs and drives excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. There is about 500 miles on the car since its restoration. I do not remember what the original mileage was, but it was under 100K. The pictures of the car in red show the condition of the car still in its original paint.
PAYMENT and SHIPPING: There is a $200 deposit due within 72hrs of the auction's end. Full payment is due within one week of the auction's end (4/28/14). Car must be picked up by 5/25/14. If you cannot meet these requirements, you must make arrangements with me prior to the auction's end. All shipping arrangements and fees are the responsibility of the buyer. The reason I am selling is because I am tired of living across the street from a thieving, alcoholic, child predator who has friends with the Ocala Police Department protecting him and a State Attorney that's as useful as a one-legged cat trying to dig a hole in a frozen pond. |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
