 Up for auction is a 1997 pontiac Sunfire Almost completely redone. This car is a first place show winner, adult owned,
and garage kept.
The Pros on this car:
   It has a new motor, with 3700 miles on it. It was replaced a few years back. When the motor was replace a few obvious
things were replaced also. Upper motor mount, full tune up, upper and lower radiator hoses, oil. the motor is stock with
the exception of the cold air intake and header. The car exhaust system has been almost completely replaced except the mid
pipe. New Header, expansion pipe, flowmaster 40 series muffler that splits into dual rear exhaust tails with chrome tips.
It has a new rack and pinion also.The car has new brakes and calipers all the way around.The calipers and drums have been
 painted red. the car has new 18
inch wheels and tires, the tires have good tread on them. the body of this car also features new panels. New front
quarter panels, new rear wing, new hood, new front and rear bumper, new side skirts and mirrors. the car was completely
taken apart and painted black and red. The red racing strip is unique with an out of the ordinary design bringing it to
a point on the nose contouring the hood instead of the traditional rectangle look. The stripe also has metallic in it
which pops when the sun hits it. The interior was redone in black and red also. The door panels, headliner, and center
console have been done in crushed velvet which also pops in sun light. the windows are tinted 5% all the way around except
the front windshield. The Mirrors feature led lights which can be turned on and of by a toggle switch inside. The headlights
have been replaced with new ones that arent foggy and have an led light bar at the bottom of each like some of the newer
cars. The headlight bulbs have been upgraded to an HID set up which are much brighter. The stock headlight wiring was not
tampered with for inspection reasons. You simply pull out the HIDS, put the stock bulbs back in and boom, no inspection
issue. You simply put the HID bulbs back in when you get home and your rolling in style and staying legal. The car is
also equipped with a night rider led light bar in the nose which can be removed without interfering with the body of the
car which is also controlled by remote and has 7 different lighting setups. The car also has LED light bars underneith
which is a very cool look at night. Its a multi color set up and has 11 different options. It can be controlled by either
the control box mounted in the center console or remote. The car also has led turn signals up front and led brake light
in the wing. Now for the stereo system in this car. This is my sickest creation yet! starting in the front of the car and
working back it features a 220 amp alt which is 130 amps over stock.Plenty of charging power there. An Isolater box which
charges the two batteries the car has, one up front, one in the truck, individually so one doesnt kill the other. Very
important piece to have when doing a dual battery setup. inside we have a Kenwood Head unit that is high powered, changes
colors on the face, cd, aux port, and USB to allow you to play your phone or mp3. it also has a remote. The door speakers
are Kenwood mids, highs, and crossovers capable of 300 plus Watts. in the truck we have a Kicker 12 inch Solobaric box
with 2 subs in it. Pushing this box is a 2000 watt D class Alpine amp. this amp is at 1/4 gain and rocks my chest when
playing songs. At 1/4 gain theres plenty of room for more power output but I cant handle anymore. There is also a smaller
Alpine amp pushing the mids and highs which produces 300 to 500 watts. There is a sec battery in the trunk along with a
Tsunami capacitor. Just a safe guard for the system to keep it at peak power but is probably overkill. The lights on this
car dont flicker, blink, or anything when playing the system. The stereo system has several fuses in the lines for safety
to you, the car, and the system. The car does still retain the spare tire under the dimond plate cover in the trunk.

*****THE YELLOW TOP BATTERY IN THE TRUCK IS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW STANDARD BATTERY!****

  now for the cons:
the nose of the car has some small stone chips in it. not many. also there are some barely noticeable stress cracks in the
fiberglass. A cart I beleive scratched the back in a small area by the fuel door. (a pro, This car has no dents at
all. I showed that in the pictures). the left side mirror glass was replaced after falling out with a cut to fit which
is split around the edges. thats an inexpensive replacement, 5 dollars or less. the head liner is sagging in one spot
due to me rushing to finish the head liner for the last show it was in. again, easy fix. some areas on the back deck, and
seat belt still need to be painted black and the sun visors arent finished. I beleive thats it and as I said the car is
95 % finished! this car runs great, is great on gas, and has never given me a problem after the motor was replaced. its a
head turner all day! Its a conversation starter also. Ive had people ask what kind of car is it? who makes it? etc.

 Im selling this car and my truck because I want a new toy. Im in the market for a Corvette and dont have the room to keep
them or the money. Oh, the car also has LED light bars inside under the dash that flash in sinc with the exterior lights.
Im seeling this car for a reserve price of $5500. OBO. A $500 dollar non refundable deposit is required at this auctions
end so serious bidders inquire. I AM OPEN TO BEST OFFERS so send me a message and it will be considered. I reserve the
right to end this auction at any time due to the car being sold locally also. I am also willing to take the car up to 30
miles to meet a buyer with an addition 25 dollars for my gas and time. any questions feel free to send me a message
and happy bidding.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

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.

This or That: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 vs. 1984 Pontiac Fiero

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Welcome to another round of This or That, where two Autoblog editors pick a topic, pick a side and pull no punches. Last round pitted yours truly against Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, and my chosen VW Vanagon Syncro narrowly defeated Brandon's 1987 Land Rover. In fact, it was, by far, the closest round we've seen, with 1,907 voters seeing things my way (for 50.8 percent of the vote) versus 1,848 votes for Brandon's Rover (49.2 percent). Sweet, sweet victory! For this latest round of This or That, I've roped Editor Greg Migliore into what I think is a rather fun debate. We've each chosen our favorite terrible cars, setting a price limit of $10,000 to make sure neither of us went too crazy with our automotive atrocities. I think we've both chosen terribly... and I mean that in the best way possible. 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Jeremy Korzeniewski: Why It's Terrible: Taken in isolation, the Chrysler Crossfire isn't necessarily a terrible car. In fact, it drives pretty darn well, and there's a lot of solid engineering under its slinky shape. Problem is, that engineering was already rather long in the tooth well before Chrysler ever got its hands on it, having come from Mercedes-Benz, which used the basic chassis and drivetrain in a previous version of its SLK coupe and roadster. Granted, the SLK was an okay car, too, but even when new, it hardly set the world on fire with sporty driving dynamics. Chrysler took these decent-but-no-more bits and pieces from the Mercedes parts bin – remember, this car was conceived in the disastrous Merger Of Equals days – and covered them with a rather attractive hard-candy shell. Unfortunately, the super sporty shape wrote checks in the minds of buyers that its well-worn mechanicals were simply unable to cash, though an injection of power courtesy of a supercharged V6 engine in the SRT6 model, as seen here, certainly helped ease some of those woes. In the end, Chrysler was left with a so-called halo car that looked the part but never quite performed the part. It was almost universally panned by critics as an overpriced parts-bin special, which, I must add, was damningly accurate. As a result, sales were very slow, and within the first few months, dealers were clearancing the car at cut-rate prices, just to keep them from taking up too much of the showroom floor. Why It's Not That Terrible, After All: I can speak from personal experience when discussing the Chrysler Crossfire. You see, I owned one. Well, sort of...
