This car has been very well taken care of. The tires on the car are Michelin and have barely 1000 miles on them. The car is a Sport Coupe (post car), of which there were only 7,029 made compared to 65,176 regular hardtops. It is also a factory 4 speed Hurst edition car (with Hurst logo on trunk). It has its original rear end which is a 3.23 YF coded one, correct for an AC car with a 4 speed. It also came from the factory with Front Disc Brakes (which included Power Brakes) and many options such as Air Conditioning, Power Steering, 8-Track Player (w/ the original 8 Track tape given when a car came with that option), Hood Tach, Console, and console mounted Vacuum Gauge. All of which are on the PHS documentation proving they were original to the car.The car's interior was all taken out with new factory correct carpet and seat covers put in and a new headliner installed. All the floors and trunk are solid with no rust. I love cars with a vinyl top but it is always a dangerous option due to the fact that they can harbor water causing rust, the top was removed and metal underneath sanded and coated with a rust inhibiting coating, then a new factory correct vinyl top put back on matching the original seams and grain. The car had a repaint about 5 years ago according to the last owner. I also have a half full can of the paint for touch-ups and color matching if ever necessary. Both front and rear bumpers have been re-chromed to a mirror shine with zero rust on them. The engine was rebuilt with hardened valve seats, and all new seals etc. It was not changed from its original specs. It also comes with its original Rochester Quadrajet carb on top that was completely rebuilt and parts re-plated etc.The brakes have been worded on with new pads and lines then put on a new master cylinder and brake booster. The engine has the correct original High Flow manifolds that came with H.O. motor cars. All of the brackets, pulleys, fan, etc. media blasted then powder coated the correct semi-gloss GM black. The radiator is a 4 core unit and was re-cored during the restoration. All hoses are new.New water pump. The valve covers were re-chromed and a new reproduction of the original oil breather installed (AC Oil stamped on top). New spark plugs, coil, and wires along with reproduction wire brackets that attach to the valve covers and hold all them in place like they were from the factory. New engine, dash and A/C wire harness replaced to make sure there were no shorts or electrical problems. It got all new AC components (Condenser, Evaporator, All lines, Drier and Muffler) with the exception of the compressor which I had rebuilt since it was original and even has the "OK" yellow factory stamp still on it. The power steering didn't need any work just a fluid flush and still works great. A new fuel pump and oil pump put in. The car also has a new battery and new battery cables for ease of starting.The trunk has a new hound’s-tooth mat with original Jack (media blasted and painted correct colors) and spare tire. New stainless pipes from the exhaust manifolds back to the tips

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The 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.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
