Here is a three owner car that spent most of it life in a garage in sunny South Florida and then to my garage in sunny Southern California.
Nothing but fun and sun for this car. It is a real beauty that has 51,300 original miles. Twenty Five years of this car was spent in a fabulous car garage till I found it
from the second owner who was a friend of the original owner. In all that time it was not driven very much and when I got it, I made sure it was perfect as it sat pretty much all that time and needed to be brought back to perfect driving condition.

It has a very unusual blue purple Grand Prix color that you very rarely see on a Firebird. The Interior is the black vinyl color with high back bucket seats and 
center console. The interior has all the options in it except power seats which would have meant this car had every option in it from 1969. The Engine is a 350 with High Performance Heads in it from a Trans Am, I just put in a new 4 barrel manifold and carburetor and chrome covers all from Edelbrock, instead of the stock two barrel it usually comes with. It has a automatic transmission and freeway gears in the rear end. Everything has been gone thru on the drive train and she is a true cruiser. We put in a high performance radiator and fan so it keeps temperature below 200 try that on any Pontiac. We also put in a high performance starter also to stop all the starter problems early Pontiac's had. I installed a new dual exhaust system that sound fabulous and all the rubber and suspension on the car has been redone along with new power front disc brakes and redone rear drum brakes. We put in a new Vintage AC System in the car in the stock vents so it looks original and works 100 percent better then original. It has tilt wheel and leather sport original steering wheel with firebird logo in perfect shape. It has the grab handle and factory sport gauges in the car also with a am/fm cassette from OPG Pontiac that fits the dash perfectly not the cut up dash wrong fit they all have. There are two speaker in the dash and two on the kick plate to make a great sounding system when the top is down. Speaking of the top it is electric and is about 4 months old. The interior is about a 10 perfect shape it was done a year before I got the car 3 years ago. Everything in the Interior works 100 percent.

The car has new TA Radials Tires and Perfect Rally 2 Wheels. Electric door locks and trunk and light package finishes up the car. All the trim is perfect and there is a ton more of extras in the car. You can call for more info. They do not get much better then this.

The only negative on this car at all is the paint job. It is very nice but has cracking in the paint in a few place as it was not done perfectly. It looks to nice to redo yet but in a few years that would make the car a trailer queen and car show winner. I prefer to drive a car and have fun.
Need anymore info please e-mail and we can talk.
Thanks for looking.

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500

Thu, Apr 23 2020

UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Gordon Murray, F1-driven production and .. the Pontiac Fiero

Tue, Oct 31 2017

Gordon Murray's design and engineering chops are unquestionable. But does his carmaking approach owe something to the short-lived Pontiac Fiero, a scrappy little car program that emerged from GM against serious resistance? Murray had a Formula One career that ran from 1969 to 1991, with stints at Brabham ('69 to '86) and McLaren ('87-'91), that resulted in several shelves' worth of trophies for the cars he was instrumental in designing. He moved on to McLaren Cars, the consumer side of things, where, during his tenure from 1991 to 2004, he helped design the McLaren F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, two cars that took learnings from his two decades in Formula One. What do all of these cars have in common? Three things: They are light. They were built in limited numbers. And they were (and are) exceedingly expensive—when the McLaren F1 debuted in 1994, it stickered at $815,000. Murray went on to establish Gordon Murray Design in 2007. GMD has created some interesting concept vehicles, such as the diminutive T.25 city car (94.5 inches long, 51.1 inches wide and 55.1 inches high), and the OX, a lightweight truck for the developing world that packs like an IKEA shelf and is working toward realization through a worthy crowdfunding campaign established by the Global Vehicle Trust. Now he has created a vehicle manufacturing company, Gordon Murray Automotive, that will use manufacturing methods that he developed under the moniker "iStream." Unlike a unibody, there are the "iFrame," a cage-like construction made with metallic components, and the "iPanels," which are composite. The panels aren't simply a decorative skin; they actually provide structure to the vehicle. Presumably this has something of the F1 monocoque about it. Going back to the three elements, (1) this arrangement results in a vehicle that can be comparatively light; (2) Murray has indicated that his manufacturing company will be doing limited-run production; and (3) to launch Gordon Murray Automotive they are going to be building a flagship model, about which Murray said, "With our first new car, we will demonstrate a return to the design and engineering principles that have made the McLaren F1 such an icon." Which seems to imply that it will be on the pricey side. According to the company's verbiage, "iStream forges an entirely new production method that defies conventionality with its Formula One-derived construction and materials technologies." It also sounds a whole lot like ...

Burt Reynolds Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am sells for $450k

Mon, Dec 15 2014

Apparently, there's still a lot of love out there for by Burt Reynolds and his famous role in Smokey and the Bandit – or at least for his car. As you might remember, Autoblog reported on the auction of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a few week ago. At the time, the movie star's car was already well past its $80,000 top estimate, and bidding only shot up from there for a final price of $450,000. That seems like a lot of money for a Trans Am that never actually appears in Smokey and the Bandit. According to the listing, the car was used to promote the film and was given to Reynolds afterward with his name on the title as proof of ownership. The Trans Am looks practically identical to the one in the movie with black paint, the gold firebird on the hood and Bandit name on the driver's door. This one packs a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood, an automatic transmission and a plaque inside the door that proclaims "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds." The wedding stagecoach based on an International Harvester Scout we mentioned in the earlier story also beat its top estimate of $20,000. It went for $34,375, according to the auction house's website, and in total the sale raised about $2.5 million. Scroll down to read the full announcement from Julien's Auctions. LEGENDARY STAR BURT REYNOLDS PROVES TO BE AS ICONIC AS HIS AUCTION RESULTS "Smokey and the Bandit" Trans Am Sells for $450,000 Career Memorabilia including Awards, Personal Items and Film Worn Costumes along with Vast Art Collection from Reynolds Museum Caliber Private Collection Featured at Julien's Auctions This Week Brings in $2.5 million Las Vegas, Nevada – (December 15, 2014) – Julien's Auctions, the auction house to the stars concluded a whirlwind two-day auction of The Collection of Award Winning Actor Burt Reynolds.
