For sale is a very rare 1991 model Trans Am GTA with original 74K Miles. This car has been in storage for the past 13 years. It was part of the inventory of a car dealership that closed a few years ago. The title is clear. Low miles, all original and it used to run perfectly, with ice cold air, but unfortunately it was parked for a few years without starting it, and the darn rats may have chewed through some wiring.


Needs tires, won't start due to some sort of problem getting fuel to the engine, and has a foot long dent/scratch from a boat trailer backing into the right front fender.

The car ran great but wasn't started for over 2 years. When I tried to start it, the gas in the tank was bad, so I had to drop the tank and do a bunch of work, including new relays, pumps, and a whole lot of other tune-up and electrical work in excess of $1000. But the car won't start and stay running. The best estimate is that there is some sort of wiring problem (there is a red wire that has been chewed through and it may have something to do with the fuel system). If you spray starter fluid in the intake manifold, the engine will run momentarily. So I really think the problem is with getting fuel somewhere down the line. As I said, the miles are really low and the car ran great before being parked for a couple of years. If you are mechanically inclined, my loss will be your gain, as I am selling it at a fraction of original cost.

Since the title is not in my name and is still marked in the possession of the car dealership that is now out of business, this car can only be sold to someone who can register it in any state other than California. If you are a CA resident, please note I cannot sell this to you.

Please contact me with any questions prior to bidding.

$250 deposit after auction closes but no later than 24 hours, via PAYPAL. Balance due by cash or money order only.

Car is currently in Julian, CA and must be towed away from there on a FLAT BED truck. Buyer is responsible for transportation costs.

Thanks for looking.

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.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
