1965 lemans convertible project car .. I started this project as a frame off to build a black /red show car .I had the car and frame completely sand blased ,the frame is in excellent condition .. it has front disc brake conversion done , it has a 355 safe t trac rear with rear sway bar I revoved the body and had all metal work done ,including new rear quarters , all parts are there to put back together ,.. glass ,wiring ,dash ,gauges ,bumpers brackets, etc.basically the car is ready to go to body shop to sand and paint the color of your choice.... I have purchased many cars over the years. but when I disassembled them to build them ,I usually found many surprises ,and in several cases ,I chose to junk the cars instead of trying to put way too much money into a rusty project. if you restore cars ,you know what I mean , this woud make a fantastic resto rod or GTO clone ,or custom ,I have always felt that the 65 lemans /GTO was the best looking ones ever produced!! I have a 66 389 motor that needs a rebuild to put in ,I have a 200R overdrive automatic ,... I have quite a few GTO parts available should you wish to do a tribute convertible...I also have a complete 455 aluminum head roller motor ., new ,never run ,which I will offer to purchaser of car for less than I have in motor (not a part of this auction ,but offered separetely) I now have an expanding family and elderly parents I must dedicate my time to ,so I am reluctantly selling my project as I am realizing I will never have time to complete... I have over $16,000 in receipts for work done not counting what I did , the hard work is done .., I am basically looking to get what I paid for car to begin with ...any questions ,call 727 460 7505

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 expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob 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.
