1967 Pontiac Gran Prix Convertible to restore, this is a project car and cannot be driven on the highway in current condition. I purchased this car in May of 2009. I have driven only 9 miles since purchased back in 2009 just to check mechanicals and has been sitting over 3 years. 400 V8 starts and runs strong, no smoke or abnormal noise. Transmission shifted when driven and car will lot drive. Top is decent and working. Body was an older amateur restoration when purchased and needs some attention as shown in the photos. Floors are good to the best of my knowledge. Trunk floor has some rust under the mat. I have never removed the mat it appears to be glued down. The alternator and master cylinder were new in 2009. The brakes for the front work, the rear has a hole in the metal line to the right rear wheel. Brakes are good enough to lot drive only. Gas line has been disconnected at the fuel pump to keep old gas out of the engine. Starts and runs on a bottle so can be loaded on your transport with care. No cracked or broken glass, driver door glass does not stay on the track when lowered. Upholstery must be replaced. None of the electrical other than headlamps, turn signals and top have been checked and headlamp vacuum lines need attention to work. Pictures show the condition better than words. Florida sun has taken a toll on the clear coat and paint as shown. The last two photos are of the car in 2009. Rust in lower rockers and other areas as shown and will need to be stripped, do body work and repaint. I do have the lower rocker stainless for both sides. No spare wheel. Tires look good but will need to be replaced. The exhaust sounds great! Please ask any questions prior to bidding. no reserve high bid gets it. $500 non refundable deposit must be received by pay pal within 24 hours of auction end. No refund, return or negotiation after auction. Must be paid fully within 10 days and removed within 3 weeks maximum. Look over all photos for description and condition, these are hard to find and this will make an easy project for summer fun. Once payment is made and funds clear, title will be signed over to the buyer and car can be removed. Buyer is responsible for all shipping cost and arrangements for transport. I will assist in loading.

Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500

Thu, Jun 20 2019

Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.

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.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
