I am selling this car at no reserve because it has developed a knock. I took it to NAPA's garage and they said it could be spark knock or main bearing failure. It shows good oil pressure so I'm not sure what's going on. I am moving and don't have room at my new house to take an engine out if need be so I'm cutting my losses and selling it as is. I purchased it for $5,800 and it was driving strong with no problems but I took it three blocks from my house two weeks ago and it started knocking. The 400 engine was rebuilt by the previous owner as was the 400 tranny and a shift kit was installed. It has positraction rear and power steering/brakes. It has a brand new Holley 4160 aluminum carburator and electric fuel pump. The body is extremely straight and is nearly rust free with surface rust bubbling on the bottom of the wheelwell (see pic.) There are a couple paint chips that were repaired by the previous owner. The frame is also in great shape and only shows surface rust also. Original Rally rims are in excellent shape with like new Cooper tires all around. Interior is in great condition with NO dash cracks and it retains the original mahogany wood on the console and dash(only year for this,next came decals.) The seats are worn and ripped in a few places but the cushions and springs are still in excellent condition. It has new sway bar bushings and shocks are like new,it drives down the road straight,handles and stops like it should.I hate like hell to let such a clean example go but I can't keep it if my wife's gonna scream at me everytime she sees it. You can email me with any questions and I'll try to answer asap. Or you can call my home(309)444-9712 or my cell(702)576-6141. You're more than welcome to come check it out but obviously it will need to be trailered.Thanks for looking and have a great day.

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.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
