1970 GTO Factory 455 RAM AIR 4 speed convertible. PHS documented. 1
of only 158 455 convertibles! Only a handful of these had the rare Ram
Air option! Has the rare blue California license plates. I thought I'd never sell this car but unfortunately I need to let it go. Come take a look. You can drive this car anywhere. I recently took it to a cruise and car show that was 130 miles away. The car performed flawlessly.
Completely restored, frame off, everything stripped down to bare metal, every nut & bolt, wire etc.. removed and restored or replaced. Extremely rare 455 ram air. Options include: factory 455, Ram Air, Muncie close ratio M21 trans, 12 bolt posi (3:31 RATIO), power steering and power disc brakes, rally gauges/tach, console, am/fm radio. All colors as original E.G.,baja gold ( beautiful, polished to a glass-like finish), black top/interior, #1 car... less than 1,500 miles since finished. You can run a magnet anywhere on the body, and it is done right. Floors and trunk all original G.M. metal. Trunk pan is coated as original, not that cheap spray can stuff. All done to factory specs except the exhaust system which is an expensive Pypes X pipe 2.5 stainless steel system with the ram air exhaust manifolds, breaths much better than the original 2 1/4 inch. It is not too loud so you can hold a conversation with the top down without having to yell. All things mechanical and electrical work as it should. The car is VERY correct except for what I have mentioned in the description here. This is a #1 car. even smells like a new car inside. We used as much as possible of the original parts instead of just buying all repo parts and having a "reproduction" car. From the original T3 headlights to the very nice original taillights. All stainless has been straightened/polished... Rear bumper and shifter handle re chromed. Details about the drive train... The block is NOT #S MATCHING...Dates (rear, block heads) are all right at December 1969 which is not impossible for this 455 ram air car.. Trans is Jan. 23 1970 ( code on trans POA23B). Engine is a correct WA 4 bolt main block with no vin# ( for real). bored 30 over with trw forged pistons ( 9.5 c.r.), and completely balanced. Has a RAM air 4 spec cam which is a great cam for this engine.. Heads are # 64's and I have cleaned up/polished the bowls and ports (no heavy removal, just mostly the casting flaws, rough areas ) Port matched to the intake. Ferrea stainless steel valves and Crower springs/retainers. Trans is a Muncie M21 with a partial vin all correct externally The last 2 #'s are not visible the other #s are matching the vin of the car. When I rebuilt it I used M22 internals ( which should have been original, but at more cost to me) as the M21 and the M22 have the same gearing ratios but the M22 gears are of course heavier duty and the helical cut and of course much stronger...kinda neat! Rear is ORIGINAL and rebuilt. The carb is a REAL 7040273( I guarantee it) it IS a service replacement with a 2232 (223 day of 1972) date..it has the correct top plate (very critical for the 7040273) and with the correct bowl and bottom plate...it has ALL the parts of an original/correct 7040273. Carb was rebuilt by Cliff Ruggles of Cliff's High Performance Quadrajets. Distributor is the correct, 1112012. It also has the JT rims with the brand new correct Firestone Wide Oval tires. Some of the photos show BF Goodrich T/A's but the car now has the wide ovals and trim rings on the wheels. They look incredible. Tires were balanced with Dyna Beads and ride smooth. Car runs at 180 degrees. Recently had it in the 4th of July parade and it never moved past 180 degrees. This GTO is very beautiful and very correct and very well done. You can drive this car anywhere. It needs nothing. Come take a drive and you'll want to take it home. Please call me and ask questions. I can tell you much more about the car over the phone. 408-593-7375 |

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.
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
