PLEASE READ WHOLE PARAGRAPH BEFORE YOU BID..This auction is for a white 1999 Pontiac Montana Van with a clear title on hand that seats 7. It has one manual sliding door and one automatic sliding door. I believe the transmission went out on it over a year ago so I went to a junk yard and paid for another transmission...that transmission is STILL sitting in the trunk of the van...I havent had the time or money to pay for someone to take out the old transmission and put in the one I bought to replace it....the battery is dead from sitting so long (but it is a fairly new battery) but with a good charge it will crank up( We tried it this morning) but it will need a good full charge ...( I can put it on a charger overnight the day before pickup) its been several months since I last attempted to drive it...and last I tried to... it does still drive but it wont let you get too far before the transmission tries to act up again. Last time I drove it was to the DMV to get plates for it, I got all the way there with no problem, but on my way back it started acting up and then would only work in reverse .I had someone pick me up and when we came back prepared to tow it we found that it decided that it wanted to work again so I was able to drive it home...very confusing symptoms this van has to say the least...so I would like to sell the van including the extra transmission thats in the trunk to someone who not only needs a bigger vehicle but who can either fix it themselves or can afford to pay someone to put the other transmission in it if needed..if I had the time or money to fix a vehicle...I would fix the van for myself. For all I know the transmission in it may be just fine and I just dont know enough about cars to know what to do to repair it. The van has 152,024 miles on it currently..in addition to the transmission these are the only other things that I know are wrong with the van (there could be other things that I am unaware of): 1) sometimes the sliding door doesnt want to stay shut, it will close and then open right back up and I have to keep pushing the button to get it to finally stay closed. (I bought a few switches to replace it with from the junk yard as well). 2) There is a scratch/dent along the side of the van where my dumb behind thought I could squeeze between the van and the privacy fence with a riding lawn mower and the grass catcher on the back of the mower rubbed against the van, 3)passenger front power window will not roll down (bought switch for that as well at junk yard, all switches are in the van and included in this auction) 4) A/C needs to be recharged from sitting. 5) Cooling fan has been rigged to work by a mechanic friend of mine, he did it to save me from having to spend money I didnt have at the time to fix the fan. 6) There are some stains on some of the seats. Van being sold AS IS with NO RETURNS. I have listed all the things that I am aware is wrong with it and have purchased all items to repair or replace them with USED from a junkyard so there is no warranty on those either. The motor was overhauled/rebuilt about a year and a half before the transmission went out on me. Has decent tires.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The 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.
Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile
Thu, Mar 26 2015So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When 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.
