1978 Pontiac Trans Am 400/4-speed WS-6 performance package
Complete, numbers matching car with 69,000 original miles. This car has been totally restored to a very high level with no expense spared. Car is documented by Pontiac Historical Services, which includes original factory invoice. Engine, transmission, and rear differential have been restored within less than 5,000 miles. Every part of this car has been addressed and has been either rebuilt or replaced if necessary.
Custom touches have been added to set this car apart from your run- of-the-mill Trans Am. These items include a complete striping kit from a 1977 Special Edition Trans Am which includes all gold emblems, gold dashboard bezel, NOS Special Edition steering wheel, and Special Edition gold bird center caps mounted on restored 15x8 WS6 honeycomb wheels with BF Goodrich 255 60 R15 tires, including spare. All chrome window moldings have been painted to match the car, just like a Special Edition Trans Am. Undercarriage, engine compartment, and trunk have been completely detailed. This is the first year for WS6 performance package and is one of 489 built that year. This figure was obtained via 78ta.com. All parts used during restoration were either NOS or GM restoration parts, down to the spark plug wires. Thanks for looking!
In the past 5 years the following has been completed: The original 400 motor was rebuilt with slightly better camshaft, Ram Air exhaust manifolds with new complete exhaust system-magnaflow mufflers. A Carburetor from another 1978 Trans Am was professionally rebuilt and the Super t-10 Transmission and clutch were replaced with a remanufactured unit in November 2008. The rear end and brakes were completely rebuilt with new axels and seals, new and correct interior, new tires with honeycomb rims that were professional restored, new suspension and finally a new complete paint job about 6 years ago. The car is about as close to a frame-off restoration as it can get and is just about like new. The only item that does not work is the clock-everything functions as it should and the car drives great! Starts right up, has updated Pertronix ignition. This drives like a car should. Windows, Door locks and Rear defrost work great. The seats had new padding installed and feel and look
If you’re looking for a non-T-top Special high performance Trans Am, this is it! It is exceptional in all areas and stands out with the right options. No worry about leaking T-tops here and it is a much more solid ride without those tops.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
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.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
