For Sale As Is
I don't even Know what to say. I can't believe I am selling this car. I bought it last May from Texas Classic Cars of Dallas. They are a very reputable dealer of classic cars. I am enduring the worst financial hardship of my life right now and am forced to sell it. The car is in wonderful condition. I only put about 500 miles on the car in the time I have owned it and was complimented almost every time I took her out. This car has a beautiful paint job and very, very nice lines. The convertible top is practically brand new and the black leather interior looks new as well. The carpet is top notch as well as the rest of the interior. It looks to have been restored within the last 3yrs I believe. The odometer reads 64902 and spins as it should. The wear on the brake and gas pedals seem to match the mileage but I cannot guarantee that the mileage is original as usual. The lettering and symbols appear to be in like new condition except the bird on the gas tank door. It shows some wear. The engine compartment is very clean and has many upgrades from original factory parts. The carburetor is an edelbrock and there are headers and aftermarket radiator hose and thermostat. The car starts up great and runs beautifully. I know the front floor pans were replaced. It rides on 14 inch factory wheels and looks great like that. The tires are in excellent shape and look to be quite new. I have many factory parts that were replace by aftermarket upgrades that I am including with the car. A very vintage car at a low start price with a low reserve. If you want a gorgeous classic car to cruise for the summer, now is your chance. The radio is some 1980s p.o.c. cassette player that doesn't work but at least the owner that put it in did not cut up the dash to install it so you can still put in the factory original parts if you get them. I had big plans for this car to be with me for a long time but my current financial outlook causes me to sell. If you have any questions please ask

The only mechanical issue I have had with this car is very minor. It starts and runs great but I think the solenoid in the starter is either going bad or the magnets in the starter get hot and lock up. When the car runs for a while and gets hot, the starter doesn't want to fire so I get a blank start. No noise or attempt to turn the engine over. It doesn't happen except for when it has already been running for a bit. The first key turn starts her right up and she idles and purrs perfectly. It only happen when it has been running for a while so my mechanical mind tells me that the solenoid in the starter needs replaced but I haven't owned the car long enough since the discovery of the problem to get it remedied. Just being completely honest. It is a very minor problem and can be fixed for less than $500 I would guess. If you know what you are doing you can probably fix it for less than $100. Other than that, it is darn near perfect. I don't know if the numbers match or not. I haven't gone through those hoops but was planning on it. The motor looks to be original but I really don't know a lot about the whole numbers matching check process to enlighten you all on that... Gorgeous car, runs great, sounds great, looks great! Just that one minor issue...

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
There's a 'Knight Rider' movie in development
Mon, Aug 17 2020James Wan, who has directed films from the first "Saw" to "Aquaman," with "Furious 7" in between, and produced even more projects, is producing a new Knight Rider movie according to a report in Deadline. Just in case there's a reader who doesn't know, Knight Rider was one of the seminal trio of iconic-car shows from the 1980s, along with "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "Miami Vice." The series lasted 90 episodes that ran from 1982 to 1986, following the crime-fighting exploits of Michael Knight, a man who crusaded for justice after being shot in the face. Billionaire Walton Knight hired Michael to work with the Knight Foundation, where Michael helps develop the Knight Industries Two Thousand, a Pontiac Trans-Am with AI that can talk, drive more than 200 miles per hour, and could teach MI6's Q Branch about gadgetry. Collider described David Hasselhof's Michael Knight as "crimefighter by trade and wearing-a-leather-jacket-with-no-shirt-underneath innovator by hobby." The show made such an impression that there was a series spinoff called "Code of Justice," two TV movies in 1991 and 1994, a convention called KnightCon, and a series reboot on NBC that lasted for one season from 2008 to 2009, as well as stores full of action figures and models and literature, YouTube fan-made trailers and movies, and this wacky German-dubbed short "Knight Rider" film starring Hasselhoff. We don't know anything about the new movie's plot yet, other than that it's set in the present. T.J. Fixman, better known for now as a video game writer who worked on franchises like "Ratchet and Clank" and "Resistance: Fall of Man," has been attached to write, with a mandate to keep "the anti-establishment tone of the original." With matters still early in development there's no telling when the movie will hit theaters, and Wan's probably got his hands busy with the new MacGuyver reboot for CBS, anyway. Now that there's already been a Knight Industries 2000 and 3000, that gives us plenty of time to imagine — in a world where 200-mph hypercars powered by everything sprout like weeds and even Cannonballers are using military-like equipment — what would a Knight Industries Four Thousand possess? And would it be called KIFT? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Destiny: General Motors should bring back Pontiac
Wed, Apr 26 2017Despite having officially left the market in 2010, the Pontiac badge is still a common sight on roadways throughout the United States. Towards the end of its life, Pontiac models were largely rebadged versions of other General Motors vehicles, like the Pontiac G5 and Chevrolet Cobalt. It's sad, but there's no other way to put it; Pontiac was a mere shadow of its former self at the time of its death. Now it's time to revive the legendary brand. General Motors announced it would be reviving the Redline series, a package that originated with Saturn, another dead brand, earlier this year. Some models, like the Chevrolet Camaro will receive unique cosmetic touches designed to make it look even sportier, something Pontiac excelled at in most cases. Gas prices have fallen dramatically in the past few years and consumers have taken notice. Sales of fuel efficient cars, like hybrids and compact sedans, aren't increasing at the same rate as larger, less efficient vehicles, like trucks and SUVs. Muscle cars, like the Ford Mustang, are seeing increasing sales as well. Perhaps it's time to revive Pontiac and restore the marque to its former glory: a brand that brought performance and style at an affordable price. There are currently few manufacturers that offer a true challenge to high-performance automakers like BMW. The German brand continues to see high sales year after year and performance has a lot to do with it. Brand recognition, namely through the BMW badge, plays a major role as well. Pontiac, arguably one of the most well-known brands to ever grace the industry, can match both factors with ease. Pontiac was once revered as a brand that revolutionized the muscle car segment in the 1970s and 1980s. It still has a lively following throughout enthusiast spheres and amongst drivers of all ages to this day. Reviving the brand with a small line of high-performance vehicles would certainly offer a challenge to dominating German brands. A small lineup of affordable vehicles bearing the Pontiac badge and designed for performance and style would certainly make waves in the current market. Reviving a few older nameplates, such as the GTO and Trans Am, would offer nostalgic appeal. Packing both models with a powerful entry-level engine, say the Camaro's turbocharged four-cylinder or V6 engine, would open up the market considerably.
