Pontiac Grand Prix GTP sporty 2 door coupe 130K miles

NEEDS CATALYTIC CONVERTER to pass inspection! The car was driven daily until it failed inspection for emissions.  I have had the catalytic converter checked. It must be replaced. About a $200 part. (I have a quote)  In the meantime, another car has been purchased and this is just sitting. Must go! bring cash its yours.

Runs and looks nice, no dents 6 cylinder.
No rust
Interior is clean (one stain on the passanger seat)
Dash has working radio, all switches and knobs present
Headliner is clean and intact
Lights, wipers, horn, radio all work
Tires are decent
Glass is all in nice shape with no cracks
Trunk is clean
Transmission is good and does not slip or have any known issues
3.8L V-6 engine. Does not smoke or leak (some light valve tap, but nothing major)
Alloy wheels will polish up nicely



I know it will need:
Power window motor
Catalytic Converter
 lights on speedometer on dashboard cluster do not turn on at night
 
Car runs and drives, however I think it would be better to tow it, because it is a little loud (exhaust catalytic gaskets) and running a little rich because sensor knows it needs the converter.

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.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
