1969 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Collison, Illinois, United States
Rear End: New Moser posi-traction unit with 3.73 rear gears.
Engine: Stock LS2 straight from the 2006 GTO. The only modifications are a cold air intake, full length headers and a dyno tune. I believe it was 376 RWHP. That translates to 450HP at the crank.
Transmission: Stock T56-6 spd straight out of the 2006 GTO.
Suspension: I just had installed a 69 GTO complete power steering setup, with heavy duty sway bar.
All new adjustable shocks with Eibach springs were installed front and rear. The wheels are American racing rims with new Hankook tires.
Body:
Metallic Pepper Grey paint job. The front bumper was just repainted a shade a little darker the body, with a hood stripe down the center, the same color as the bumper.
The inside of the car was rhino lined along with the bottom to prevent any corrosion.
Interior:
The 06 dash was heavily modified then recovered. It has the original power front 06 GTO black leather seats. The rear seats were modified and recovered in new factory black leather to match the front. A custom rear deck was installed with the working 3rd brake light from the 06. Custom rearview, interior door handles and dome light were milled from aluminum. Door panels, rear panels, kick panels, and headliner were made from scratch.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
