1972 Pontiac Gto Judge Clone on 2040-cars
Mandeville, Louisiana, United States

1972 Pontiac GTO JUDGE Clone I bought the four years ago as a decent driver. The car has a Pontiac 350ci engine and Pontiac 350 transmission. I have spent countless hours going through the entire undercarriage of the vehicle including the engine bay. Here is a list of things that I have completed. Pulled the engine out and inspected. Had the heads rebuilt. Installed all new engine gaskets, a new water pump, alternator, belts, hoses, HEI distributer, plugs and wires. The radiator was replaced shortly before I purchased the car. The car runs great with the Holley 670 Street Avenger Carb and Aluminum Edelbrock intake and headers . Also while the engine was out, smoothed the fire and painted. Stripped all the dirt and grim from the frame and other parts and painted gloss black. Upgraded the booster to an 8" chrome duel diaphragm and chromed aluminum master cylinder. All new stainless steel front brake lines were installed to handle the front disc brakes. The front suspension was completely cleaned or sandblasted then painted. All the shocks, bushings, ball joints, tie rods, sway bar bushings and end links were replaced. Also replaced the old worn out steering box and hoses with new ones. The wiper motor, pump and arms were replaced. The 350 transmission has been replaced with a rebuilt Pontiac 350 transmission. The U-joints were replaced shortly before I purchased the car. The rear end has been removed and inspected. The axle bearing were replaced. The posi center chunk with the 3.08 gears all looked in good order. The axle housing was cleaned and repainted and reinstalled with all new trailing arm and control arm bushings and new shocks. The rear drum brakes were completely rebuilt with all new hardware, drums, wheel cylinders and shoes. The fuel tank and sending unit were replaced with new. Still can't get the fuel gauge to work. The car is solid and the body is straight. The paint has some imperfections. It has some small scratches and minor bubbles behind two wheels. The interior is in great shape with no tears or rips. I have added a B &M shifter. I have 95% of the receipts for all parts spent on the car. I am asking $19,900. Clean title in hand. |

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.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
