1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455-SD Tribute The Pontiac Trans Am 455 Super Duty was one of the most powerful Trans Ams that Pontiac every built. The style of the car and the power in which the models had was the inspiration for the tribute. The chassis is a 1973 Pontiac Firebird from the factory and the engine is a factory 73 date code Pontiac 455 which has been completely rebuilt. .020 on the mains, .040 on the rods, bored 30 over. New Mutha Thumper cam (intake lift .479, ex. lift .465, adv duration 279 297,duration @ .050 227 241, lobe separation angle 107) new pistons, valves, rings, lifters, all mechanical components to include oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, hoses, belts, plugs, plug wires and all. All that can be said about the motor and transmission in the car that makes an ultimate bad to the bone driver is that it is an unbelievably impressive car that can grab a bark in all four gears. There has never been a factory built car with this much torque and energy nor will there ever be another tribute car that can offer such an incredible display of power, performance, handling (will every single piece under the car being replaced and beefed up), the sound of the motor with the new exhaust system Flow Masters with 2.5" pipes, having the newly built factory air conditioning system that blows AC colder than it ever did the day the car was born, and on and on and on. This is a car that would list for over $85,000 as a numbers matching original, however, it has every single bit of glitz and glamour of an originally built 455 SD with more torque and power and sound than an original SD but with out the HUGE price tag. I would put this car up next to any numbers matching SD car any day of the week and guarantee it to smoke the tires off of any other SD car available, regardless of price point. The interior, body, paint, motor detail, under carriage detail, exhaust, decals, gauges, headliner, springs, transmission and sound are absolutely impeccable and are worth well over what the owner is asking for the vehicle. You HAVE TO DRIVE this car and HEAR this car to have any appreciation for how incredibly well built and well renovated this car is. All work was done in Knoxville, Tennessee by Copperhead Customs, a local and meticulous classic resto mod and rat rod shop. Bid with confidence knowing that the car was built with integrity, love, passion, quality and attention to detail in EVERY way. The owner has over $85,000 invested in the restoration and understands that a sacrifice is inevitable. Whomever buys this car is getting every single bit of a $85,000 car for a fraction of the price and as it is sported down the street, even the most knowledgeable of car enthusiasts couldn't tell the difference between this tribute car and a numbers matching factory car unless they had the set of numbers to compare it with. The car is not perfect but it is close to it and for the amount of money that you will spend on this classic muscle car compared to other factory Trans Ams, it will be perfect to you! One ride in this car will make anyone sell their prized possessions to take home the title to it. I cannot even describe what an amazing driver this car is. In fact, during the break in period when the car was driven for the very first time with the new motor, we couldn't stop at a red light or drive through a low speed zone and not hear, "man, that car sounds incredible" or "that is a beautiful car" or "what does that car have under the hood?". You will experience the exact same thing the moment you pull away in your new red 455 SD with all the sounds, looks and performance that you expected to have and will have for years to come. Good luck in your bidding! It is in fact one of the baddest 1973 Pontiac Transam 455 SD 4-speed tribute car's on the market today and you will be the envy of the neighborhood if you become the fortunate owner of this car.

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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
