For sale is a 1986 Pontiac Trans-Am with 31,000 original miles. I bought from the second owner. never driven and never abused. It took 4 years to convert it to a Knight Rider Inspired Replica. it is not show exact of any one season. It is a combination of all the seasons plus extras that weren't in any of the shows.
Most of the parts were manufactured by Rob Louisell. Some parts come from other sources. The vehicle itself needs a whole distributor as it sometimes stalls, however, the KITT conversion needs nothing. It is complete and functional.
All the buttons are functional. They either open doors, start the engine, stop the engine, open windows, open trunk, etc...The POD is voices from the show.
Here is some of the things that I have done with this vehicle:
1. Replace the old cloth seats with gorgeous leather seats
2. Replace the entire carpet with black carpet.
3. Tint the windows.
4. Light up the entire car with blue neons from underneath the carriage.
5. Install police style speaker under the grill that attaches to the CD, also have a PA system. You can speak through it. You can play music through it or the voices of KITT coming right from the engine. This system is very very loud.
6. The rearview mirrors are video monitors.
7. The CD/DVD player is a video monitor as well.
The last time I listed this vehicle was 2 years ago. I really don't want to sell it but times are tough and I want to have the money to go to school, however, having said that I still will not give it away.
This vehicle has a reserve price on it. Please don't ask for the reserve as I will not review it. I will not take payments. I will ship the car wherever you want however you are responsible for the shipping charge of the vehicle and the method used to transport this vehicle.
As I thing of things to add to this ebay description then I will edit it. This is all that I can think of for now. This is an expensive toy for the collector that can afford this type of toy. This vehicle is not for the fan of the car that wants to make payments.

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.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
