 This listing is for a 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Supercharged. This has been an excellent car, and I will miss it dearly. I have performed several modifications to the car to enhance the look and performance of it. It has a custom black metallic paint job with red metallic highlights. The car had the custom paint job in July of 2012, and it’s not perfect as it was done in a garage instead of a paint booth. The car does look very sharp though, and I have received nothing but compliments on it. I had custom hood scoops installed, and put in a cold air intake. I removed the mufflers in favor of straight pipes; however there is still a catalytic convertor and resonator in front of them. It is louder than stock, but it sounds really good if you like performance. It has quad exhaust tips, which I believe really set the car apart from most other Grand Prixs out there. Speaking of performance, when you consider the cold air intake in conjunction with the straight pipes the car has over 260hp (240hp was stock). I also have nearly brand new V-tread 225/55/16 tires on the front (stock was 225/65/16). This gears the car down a little and further increases the performance. However since there are smaller tires on the front of the car than the rear, you do have to turn off the traction control before you head down the road. There is nothing wrong with the traction control system, or the anti-lock brakes, but they were not made to work with two different size tires on the car. After you drive about a quarter of a mile down the road, the anti-lock brake light comes on and turns of the anti-lock brake system as well as traction control, and if you don't turn it off in advance the car putters while the computer adjusts. There is nothing wrong with the traction control or the anti-lock brake systems though, it's just something that happens because of the different size tires. If you were to put stock tire sizes back on, or all four of the same size this doesn't happen. No service lights are on (besides what I just mentioned). It has drilled and slotted brake rotors with high performance ceramic brake pads installed. I have installed custom headlights and taillights. The headlights have HID kits installed, and so do the fog lights! I have installed black outs on the head lights for an additionally sporty look! The custom taillights have LED bulbs inside. I have installed wind visors, sun roof visor, and a bug shield as well! I have had the car diamond glossed at Ziebart, and this includes a transferrable warranty. The window tinting also includes a lifetime warranty through Ziebart that will transfer. The interior of the car is in excellent condition, with minimal flaws for its age. There are a few carpet stains, but they are minimal (with the exception of the larger one in the trunk). The leather is in excellent condition - no tears, rips, or major cracks. The leather wrapped steering wheel is also in excellent condition, and you don't need a steering wheel cover (although I had one on to protect the wheel)! The sound system sounds excellent and has the additional tweeters in the tops of the door panels. The leather wrapped floor shifter is also in excellent condition and had the performance shift button on the side. All four door panels are in excellent condition as well. The custom head unit I installed is a Kenwood Excelon series, and has auxiliary input, built in equalizer, amplifier output, and many other options. The motor purrs like a kitten, and runs very strong. I have had no problems with this car mechanically. The heat and air conditioning both work excellently. This car has all of the options because it is the high performance GTP model. Everything works great! I especially love the heads up display, which shows up on the windshield in front of the driver showing you speed, turn signals, and whether or not you have your bright lights on. The power sunroof is also a ton of fun! Last summer I drove it to South Dakota and back with no problems. The transmission shifts smooth and strong. I have performed all of the oil changes myself and on time according to the Oil Life meter. I usually changed the oil early as soon as it would start to change color instead of waiting for the oil life meter to say it needed changed. I have owned the car since June of 2012. It had about 206,000 miles on it when I purchased it, so I am unsure of the history before that. However, in the time I have had it, I have found it to be an excellent car with no mechanical problems. That said, I am not a dealer or a professional mechanic, and I cannot give out a warranty on the car - it's as-is. This car does have the legendary 3800 Series II V6 in it that is known to run over 400,000 miles without an overhaul. The motor doesn’t burn oil and as I’ve said before runs very strong and starts in an instant!! With this engine there is no need for concern about the mileage, and I would drive it anywhere!

I expect a down payment of $250 that is non-refundable, and the rest in cash upon transfer of title. Upon agreement of purchase I will contact you with arrangements to meet and finish the transaction. This will take place in Silver Lake, Indiana 46982.

Thanks for your interest! Feel free to send me any questions you may have! Please contact me for more photos!

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.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
