This would be a great car to restore or use as a parts car for your project. The exterior is in great shape.  There is a little bit of rust on the lower parts of the fenders, but the frame and underneath are excellent. When you open the hood, on each side about half way back where the inner lip of the fender overhangs the fender liner, there is some rust out.  It's not bad, but it's the worst on the car. It has had some body work over the left rear fender, but it's not bad either.  The remainder of the body is very straight and nice. It comes with its fender skirts as well. I believe this car and be restored without needing a single patch panel.

I believe all the glass is good, but I'll have to recheck on that. I will report differently if it's the case.

The front seats are missing and the rest of the interior has been dismantled.  Other than the seats, it appears that most everything is there. Look at the pictures and if you have specific questions about what's there, please contact me and I will answer your questions.

I found a key that turns the ignition, so I threw a battery in it and cranked it over a little bit.  It turns freely, and, from what I can see, everything is complete under the hood -- minus one hood hinge, but I think it's in the car. I don't know Pontiac engines, but "the book" says that this should be a 389, so I'm assuming that is the case. The automatic transmission is there, as is the exhaust system and rear end. I forgot to check on its options, although I remember seeing a power steering pump. I believe the windows are manual.

Before bidding please do your shipping homework. The buyer is responsible for arranging for and paying for shipping. The car is just outside of Blanding, UT 84511.  I'm approximately 300 miles from Salt Lake City, UT and Albuquerque, NM, and about 400 miles from Phoenix, AZ and Denver, Co.  In fact, I'm about 60 miles northwest of Four Corners, where the four states meet. I will have the tires aired up and it will be a roller, but please check into the cost of shipping before winning the bid then changing your mind. I'm afraid it will be pretty pricey to have it shipped.  Call (435-459-0591) or email if you have any questions.  Thanks.

This is a no reserve auction, so one bid might win it.  This car is being sold AS IS, with no warranties or guarantees, other than I have described it accurately. The winning bidder is to pay a $200 deposit within 48 hours of the auction close. We will then determine how the balance is to be paid. I would like the car to be removed within a month of the auction's close, but that is negotiable, depending on your circumstances.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan

Sun, Jun 28 2020

The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.

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.
