Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"95 percent. needs very little to be complete show quality car. all pans were professionally replaced in 04 at the same time a dakota digital dash was installed and a turbo 400. later someone put 373 gears into the posi rear end. pontiac historical lists the car as a firebird 350 that was originally the rare limelight green. if i keep the car it will go back to that color but i'll add black t/a stripes and keep the t/a look.i'd rather see someone else have it, though. i had a 71 poncho 350 built last november and i've driven this car so little that i only did the first oil change about a month ago.the headliner needs to be finished and a couple of bubbles near the fender louvers need to be cleaned up and touched up eventually. install an a/c if you want to. i didn't , i did install a 1000 watt amp and a box with two 10 inch subwoofers to fill the sound from the sony 6x9's out a little better. turn heads wherever you go and you don't have to rev the engine to get the looks."

i traded a 69 torino gt convertible for this car knowing the engine was blown. it's just clean and it has some records of what had been done to it. when you buy these old cars you don't get much documentation usually.

anyway, i went through two pontiac motors that had bad blocks before i found one that had been machined and the owner never picked it up. i bought it and between the three engines i had the brackets, timing chain covers etc. i picked up a few things from butler performance and jegs.

it's a 71 350 .040 over with heads that were milled.015 or .020 (i can't remember) in 06 when it was abandoned. since it's .040 over instead of .030 over i'm guessing this is a second build and the head may have another .015 off of them too. that would make 6 to 7 cc's gone from the giant combustion chambers and would bring the sug up from 7.6:1 to maybe 8:1 c/r. still runs fine off of pump gas.

the body is in 99 percent condition. a couple of chips and a bubble or two. the interior is in 80-90 percent. they stopped when they were doing the headliner and there are a coupl of small cracks in the dash. everything works. lights wipers etc. the driver side bright bulb doesn't burn and the passenger side front turn signal doesn't blink (probably a bulb and i'll fix it this weekend if it is). all glass and chrome is in very good condition, window fels are in good condition, glass all goes up and down. it's a really nice car. it could stand a coat of wax because it hasn't had one in a year.

buyer is responsible for shipping. 500 dollar PAYPAL ONLY deposit is required immediately after the sale and is non refundable. the balance is due within three days of the end of the auction. if you can not follow those rules please don't bid. i had this car sold before and the buyer didn't want to use paypal but would wire me the money after i handed him my banking information. not going to happen. don't waste our time or mine trying to scam me.

this is a nice car, i have people stopping by every week claiming they want to buy it. i've turned down 15,000. i know what it's worth. i play with these old cars all the time. you don't find them this straight outside of barrett jackson very often.

i will consider partial trades. i need a one ton flatbed for my farm. must be clean and have everything in working order. don't care if it's gas or diesel.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General 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.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending 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.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
