Presenting a beautiful matching numbers car with the original 400 YS, matching VIN stamped block and “13” cast
heads. TH400 trans, 12 bolt rear axle, AC, power steering, power brakes, disc brakes, Rallye wheels, Rallye
instruments and De Luxe vinyl interior.
The car was originally silver, and during the restoration we chose Lucerne Blue which was a Firebird only color.
This car was first sold by Lee Adams Pontiac in Oakland and has been in sunny CA all the time so there is no rust.
The body is beautiful, straight and with a quality clearcoated buffed paint job. All pieces were painted
separately, and of course all windows, rubber moldings etc were taken off before paint.
Interior is restored with an eye towards keeping as much of the original as possible.
It sports a new era correct wooden steering wheel. The stereo is not hooked up, we will let the new owner put his
own twist on the sound system, and there are two 6x9 speakers hidden under the package tray to connect.
The engine was rebuilt and has some tuning add-ons for an incredible performance,
this machine roars like a lion, yet it purrs smoothly at idle, even ice cold. It has a better camshaft, Edelbrock
intake and carburator, HEI distributor, Hooker headers and Flowmaster exhaust. AC system has been totally rebuilt
with new components and blows ice cold! The engine bay has been beautifully detailed.
Brakes, front and rear suspension, shocks, front and rear springs, fuel tank, subframe bushings, sway bar etc are
all new. All chrome is new, like the windshield and all weatherstripping.
Trunk area is of course restored with a new trunk mat, jack and spare wheel matching the other Rallye wheels, with
a new tire still wearing its print.
We have Pontiac Historical Society papers on the car including a reprinted Window Sticker.
Here is a car that you can enjoy driving, weekend racing, showing and collecting while it appreciates in value!
Asking a modest $37000 or reasonable offer

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.
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.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
