I purchased this car to fulfill one of my dreams. I always wanted one and I have enjoyed working on it and driving it. But I also have a growing family and will need to buy a larger house. So, I need to turn this car into some cash. I will be listing this locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction if I find a buyer.

The Good:

This is a solid, complete, virtually rust free car. The numbers matching 400 runs smooth and strong. It has a new Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke carb. I also have a holley double pumper no choke that will go with the car. The TH400 transmission is not numbers matching, but period correct, and it shifts great also. I believe it has a 3.55 rear end which is not original to the car. It has a new aluminum radiator and runs reliably cool. I also have the original Harrison radiator to go with the car as well. Much of the work I have done to the car was to improve reliability and safety. First, I replaced the lap belts in the front with a 3 point retractables and put lap belts in the rear, all with period correct GM buckles. I replaced the 4 drums with power disk brakes on all corners. It stops like a new car, maybe better. I also rewired the car with an American Autowire Power 20 kit. At the same time, I added power door locks, a viper alarm, keyless entry, and remote start system, and power trunk release. The door locks are centrallized, meaning there are no switches. When you move one door stopper, the other moves with it. I could not bring myself to cut the door panels to add switches. I also added a Retrosound radio with USB (USB is in the glove box) and Polk Audio speakers all around. The rear 6x9s fit in the back deck and new custom kick panels hold 6 1/2s up front. I slightly relocated the parking brake to keep it functional with the new speakers. I still have the original kick panels if you want to take them out. Dakota Digital analog VHX gauges in the cluster are new and very nice and clean. While rewiring the car, I also put in a new battery, a 140 amp one wire alternator, and replaced the starter with high performance guts. This is a factory AC car, but the AC is not hooked up. There is a134A compressor on the car, but I did not make it that far. And now I never will. It looks new, but it is untested. Everything else electrically works as it should. I also have a brand new semi custom car cover to go along with it and some miscellaneous parts, such as an extra fan and fan clutch in case you want to swap out the flex fan. The interior shows very well with no rips or tears in the seats, panels, or carpet. It may not be perfect, but it is very good. The paint is good but not excellent. My goal was eventually to put a very high quality paint job on this car, but never made it that far. I would say this car is a 10 footer. American Racing wheels and the tires have about 65% tread left. The car also has air shocks in the rear. This is a very good and smooth riding car that goes and stops well.

The Bad: This is an original vinyl top car. There are some small spots starting to form under the top. They are not growing in size as the top is still sealed fairly well, but it will probably need to be replaced soon.

The Ugly: The headliner needs some work. I replaced the old smelly insulation in the roof with some foil type insulation from a hardware store. It keeps the heat down and got rid of the old car smell, but I did not do a professional job replacing the headliner. It is there and complete so maybe someone could do a better job than me. Headliners are not that expensive anyway, just not at the top of my list. The mileage on the car is unknown. It showed 6700 miles on the odometer when I purchased it and that is what I loaded in the DD gauges when I powered them up. It has about 7400 or so miles now. The hood does not close fully at the back. It may need new hinges or just an adjustment, not sure

I also have the 67 Pontiac Service Manual and PHS documentation to go along with the car. I am sure there are other miscellaneous items as well that I am forgetting to mention.

I have more pictures and can answer questions upon request.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The 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.
