As it came from the factory EXCEPT I installed an aluminum radiator and thermo controlled DUAL electric fans to
help cool it, PLUS an Edelbrock Performer Intake. (Org. intake available on request)
All new brakes inc. rotors, drums and master cyl. shoes and pads.
New upper control arm bushings, NEW 255/60R 15 Cooper Cobras on FACTORY Snowflakes in GREAT shape, new center caps
and aligned.
I painted it Jet Black then added Plasma Blue Pearl Pearl in the Clear. 3 Coats. Deep shine that's Black in shade,
DARK blue in the sun or under lights. Color sand and buff it'd be a show car!!
NOTICE: I changed AC condenser, dryer, hoses and added a "remanufactured compressor" from Auto Zone that CRASHED
first test drive. The system still holds pressure but the compressor clutch went out.
Interior restored inc, NEW headliner, dash cap, AM/FM cassette, amp and 6 speakers. New door panels, pull handles,
console, carpet, shifter knob. Tilt column with new MoMo wheel.
New glass and windshield, swipes and weather strip kit. New wiper motor, arms and blades. New shaker seal rubber,
ALL new decals and pin stripes. New outside door handles. Changed the tail lights and side markers to improve the
look.
Installed NEW heater core and blower fan. (The vents won't change position. Must be a vacuum thing)
This is a GREAT car for a son/daughter's first car or college driver as it's NOT A HOT ROD!!, It's REAL CLOSE to
factory. With a little work, and a small investment, add an AC compressor clutch, fix the vent thing, detail the
under carriage (I'm disabled and CAN'T get under there myself) color sand/buff the paint (It's fine for a driver
as/is btw) and it'll be a $30K plus seller at Mecum or Barrett-Jackson

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 knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
