Offering for sale, this fantastic 1978 Pontiac Trans Am SE Y88 model. This is a genuine "Smokey and the Bandit" Special Edition. Though it is a Y88 repainted black, it is 1 of only 1267 4 speed cars produced in 1978 and came with W72 220 HP engine. Documented by original build sheet and PHS dealer invoice (please see pictures). I have driven this car over 6K miles in 5 Bandit Runs 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 without any problems. It has been driven all over the country and has been photographed for High Performance Pontiac magazine. The decals on the rear window are just some of the stops in the Bandit Run. I have receipts from the owner who made the color switch 2006 and all improvements that I have made. I rebuilt the transmission and rear end with 3.43 gears. I replaced the rear lights with LED Restore a Muscle Car lights and added custom Year One Burt Reynolds Edition door panels with 6 inch Boston Acoustic speakers. The engine runs strong and have no reason to rebuild it. I assume that this is the original engine but I am not a mechanic. It has a rebuilt Rochester carb and new larger radiator for long distance driving. New Ram Air exhaust with cross pipe !! Also, new heavy duty starter with heat shield was placed. The seats were recovered, Dynamat sound deadening placed on the floors, and has a new CD stereo with rear 6 x 9 speakers and amplifier. I added the required Cobra 39 channel CB radio with operating PA speaker for Bandit Run communications !!! The trunk has correct period spare tire, jack, and tire puncture canister. The only rust is a pencil sized spot on the lower rt rear quarterpanel (see pic). The T Tops occassionly leak, I have never heard of any that did not !! I have just had the wheels correctly painted as well !! ice cold air conditioning as well !!!!!! The passenger sunvisor was signed by BURT REYNOLDS himself during a Bandit Run to Jupiter Florida (please check out photo) !!!
If you are looking for the perfect vehicle for driving on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bandit_Run then this it !!!! It is fully sorted and drives great. I sell this car with a heavy heart as I have had some of the best times of my life on these Bandit Runs but have other car projects on the horizon.

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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
