1976 Trans Am. My older brother bought this car in about 1980 and had in storage the last twenty years. He was in the process of restoring it when a stroke ended his life and it's been a couple years since and I had some time available so I finished his project as sort of a tribute to his love of this car. He had a son and two daughters. The Engine, Tranny and Car Vin numbers all match. He had put a small lift cam in at some point but was not to radical as you can hear it blub at  a idle a little and the car runs just fine. The Drivers seat has a some small tears but outside of that the interior is completely 95% intact as it came from the factory new. The seat covers in the pictures were put in twenty years ago and I would recover the seat or have an apholstery shop repair the drivers seat as it is rare to find a original seat cover in this condition. The stick shift and the shift knob both say Hurst on them. The motor is a 400 with 4 speed manual transmission. Anyway interior is all original. Classic Industries sell new authentic upholstery for $269 dollars a set for the front seats. I left the old School fuzzy seat covers on for the time being and decided whoever buys it could have the seat covers repaired or to have new covers put on would be up to them. The engine compartment is how it was when I got the car and is not perfect but is pretty much original condition and still needed to have the auto polish from the paint job cleaned off the air cleaner etc. The radiator support looks like it may have been straightened in the past.  The tires are BF Goodrich TA's 265/50/15's in the front and 275/50/\15's in the rear. Apparently this size of tire is no longer available in 50's but they were in good shape, had plenty of tread left in them and fit the looks of the car so I replaced the corroded SS Cragers with brand new ones and they look great on this set up. After replacing all the rubber molding on the doors and trunk they all shut hard but I assume that settles in after a while. They shut fine before the new molding was put on and seems to be getting better the longer it's on. Car needed new alternator and wiper motor so they are both new or rebuilt. New headlight switch so dash lights dim correctly. Car comes with original inflateable spare tire and like new original jack. Large firebird decal could use to be replaced if you want it to be perfect. Tack and Speedometer work fine as does the odometer. Car shows 65,152 miles as of now but above I added some for driving around getting the bugs out. I put in new plug wires and spark plugs. The wires were shot and now the car runs pretty darn good. 4 barrels needed some lubrication and freeing up put seem to work as intended now. I put in a new K & N air filter and had the brakes all re-done.  Car handles really good with the tire combination and steering is really fast compared to cars these days. Drivers door glass has scratches that I would change out if I was keeping it for my self for show. I drove the car out to dinner and it gets a lot of thumbs up. Of all the Trans Ams years and colors I believe this is one of the sharpest looking TA made from the round headlights to the front and rear bumper covers. Want more info and any additional pictures just ask.

Looking Back At Oprah's Free-Car Giveaway 10 Years Later

Fri, Sep 12 2014

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." But this is not just any G6. This car is a part of television history. Vielweber won her G6 10 years ago at a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show, when Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car. It was an unprecedented stunt that changed lives, generated controversy and ultimately failed to provide enough of a marketing lift for Pontiac, which would be shuttered just over five years later. September 13 marks the 10-year anniversary of the memorable event, which caught everyone, including audience members, by surprise. In a masterful display of showmanship, Oprah dialed up the suspense to match the enormity – and cost – of the event. First she gave away 11 cars, which would have been a landmark TV promotion by itself. But then she coyly announced: "I've got a little twist." Models circulated throughout the audience carrying silver platters loaded with white boxes wrapped in red ribbon. One contained a set of keys, Oprah implied, for another audience member to win the final car. "Do not open it. Do not shake it," she commanded the crowd. Finally, with the suspense built to a fevered pitch, everyone opened their box. They all had keys. "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" Oprah exclaimed. "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Everybody did get a car. But not everyone kept it. William Toebe attended the show with his wife, Jillaine, and he immediately thought of the tax implications, which stretched to $6,000 or more for some audience members. It was a tough reality for many in the audience that day, some of which had been selected based on their need for a new car. "That responsible part of me stepped forward and wondered 'where am I going to get the money to pay the taxes?'" he recalled.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
