This GTO "clone" Lemans is a great start on a restoration or use for the GTO parts for your car. It was stored for approx 20 years and has restoration started before that. The engine is a 350 pontiac that starts up and runs great with no noises or smoke. I fill the float bowl to start it. The trans is the stock trans and i dont know the condition. It did jerk the car when i first started it because it was in gear. As for the interior, it has its original bucket seats and rear seat. the buckets are tore a bit and the rears are very nice. rear side panels are good and the door panels are usable. Original center console missing glove box door. Original shifter with bad cable. NO carpet. The floors in this car are extremely solid with a couple small spots about the size of ur thumb. Headliner is tore. Dash has some cracks in the pad and someone installed a tach in the dash. Nice original steering wheel. Horn works. Glass is all there, windows go up and down, windshield is cracked. As for the body, i'll start in the back. I have a rear bumper that is straight but needs chrome, and one taillight. The decklid has rust and should be replaced. The drivers quarter has one patch behind the wheel and will need another in front of the wheel, the lower rear quarter is solid. rear tail pan has some rust behind the bumper. Passenger quarter has had a half quarter installed correctly and will need almost no attention to finish. Trunk floor will need replaced along with the gas tank mounts. The tank straps are there. I have the tank and it is usable, it was removed to repair the trunk. Drivers door is usable and will need minor repair. Passenger door has rusted inner, up to u if u can fix it or replace. The roof had some aggressive pitting due to the old vinyl top that someone started to repair and never finished. some rusting along the drivers front piller and under the windshield on the passenger side, solid under drivers side. The hood shows minor rust in the nose in the photo but i have plasma cut the rust out and welded new patches in the bad areas. It was done correctly. I also repaired the inner underside of the nose but it will need to be finished. Over all it made the hood a very usable hood. These hoods are not reproduced and extremely hard to find. The scoops are present and in good shape. The drivers fender is very solid with a minor dent around the front marker light. The vents are also in both fenders and they are original one year only "72" fenders. The passenger finder is solid with very small bubbles in the lower corner. The front enduro bumper is straight and in extremely good condition. Both headlight housings are in super shape with all hardware in them. I do not know the condition of the lights. The grills are very nice and complete with the GTO letters in the drivers grill. The front lower valance is there, not rusted, few dents. I have the front signals that go in it. The wheels are correct for the car but not original to it. Tire hold air and will work for moving the car around. The frame is straight and very solid also.I have not driven the car due to the gas tank being removed but the brakes are up on the car. I have described the car to the best of my ability and honestly. I will gladly answer any and all questions that u might have about the car. The front clip alone is almost worth what im asking for the entire car. I have put a low reserve and a low But it Now price. As an incentive i will give FREE with the car, a NEW trunk floor if the car is purchased using the Buy it Now option. The car is for sale locally and has a possibility of selling before the auction ends. I am including my personal cell number for serious people who may need further information about condition or shipping. You will need to pick it up or send a shipper who can haul a non drivable car. I want to thank u for taking the time to look at my car. 989-670-2700

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There 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.

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.
