This auction is the first time this car has been offered for sale from the original owner,my wife. She ordered this car in early 1969 from Avery Pontiac,Columbus Ohio with a 350 engine a 4 speed transmission with positraction with a black vinyl top over silver, It was a beautifull car when it was new with its redline wide ovals. She never allowed anyone to smoke in the car in the 10 years she had it on the road and only a couple passengers if any ever rode in the back seat. The car was never hit or damged in any way and always garaged but yet the silver paint of that era failed within 5 years or so,I think the silver was repainted by a dealership in 1975 and promised not to repeat dulling,it did. In the summer of 1979 with 68,500 miles on itI drove it into the garage you see in the pictures, shut it off and that was it. I always intended to keep it running and cosmetically restore it but time has passed quickly and it is not going to happen. We pushed it out of the garage to clean the dust off it and take some pictures,couple of the tires on the original rally wheels were rotted so I put the steel rims on it to be able to move it. There was no condition issues mechanically when the car was garaged and the garage is under our house and somewhat heated and dry. The only issues bodywise on the car then and today is 4 very small rust issues,both front fenders at the bottom would require a proper patch,no way would they need replaced as the rear fender well area,rust on the lip. The bottom of the car is very solid,never undercoated to hold moisture, and shows mostly silver paint that I can see with a mirror,same with the trunk floor. The original black vinyl top is excellent and in my opinion should never be replaced ,same goes for the interior which would entail mostly just cleaning,from the black headliner to the black carpeting,excellent condition. I believe it still has gas in the tank which I am sure is now varnish and no atempt should be made to get car running without going through fuel system which is up to the buyer. I cannot guarantee engine or rings are not stuck even with the dry storage,years ago I removed the plugs and poured in a heavy amount of Kroil and cranked engine over but must have forgot to replace plugs as they are missing.This would be an excellent and solid car to easily restore. Thanks for looking,bid to own.

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.
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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
