1989 Pontiac Firebird

This car used to belong to my stepfather before he passed.. When I got it the engine had a loud knock in it so I replaced the engine with a brand new crate motor from napa. I also replaced much of the suspension, seals, headliner 4th generation seats, brakes and tires. I also put a VR3 Sound system with a 10' Sub in the back and new speakers all around (see pictures) Every spring a local mechanic has gone over it and replaced anything from wires that were fraying to new battery terminals and any other minor repairs making sure it was in tip top shape for the summer.

This is an older used car so it will be sold as is, However, The car runs and drives great. A Solid car. There are a few signs of rust and a small ding near the front of the car (see pictures), the T-tops leak if it's hit with high pressure from say a car wash pressure washer , Rain and handwashing does not seem affect it. There are cracks in the paint near the hood scoops, A friend of mine molded them in and it didn't work out so well, I've thought about wrapping it in car vinyl.

I highly encourage you to come see the car if you're interested. It's too hard to describe with words.

This car is a bit of a special car as in it's a Pro-Am. There is not a whole lot of info on these pro-ams but from what i've been able to piece together: Pro-ams were a factory deal with a specific dealer in Ohio and Chattanooga cutsoms (now Choo-Choo Customs) some minor body alterations were done to a formula model firebird, such as, the two tone paint job, The spoiler, The nose is of the newer 90s Model and there is faux woodwork in the interior. There may be a few other alterations that i'm not aware of. My buddy swears there is a shift kit in it but I don't believe they did anything mechanical.

My reasons for listing this are pretty simple.. My wife and I are moving to a college town soon where we'll be finishing up our education and start a family. As such taking along a 3rd car that gets used in the summer only is going to be a hassle. Right now I keep it parked next door in the American Legion parking lot and store it either at the inlaws or one of my parents in the winter. This car has been a lot of fun and I will miss it very much, but the time has come to let her go.

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.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Pontiac should come back as a performance division for GM

Thu, Apr 6 2017

For decades the Pontiac brand was known as GM's performance brand. From the 1964 Pontiac GTO, to the 1967 Firebird, to the 1984 Fiero, to the 2006 Solstice Turbo, and 2009 G8 GXP, Pontiac had a reputation for building exciting cars, with bold styling and performance to back it up. When the Camaro was killed off in 2002, the Pontiac Firebird died off with it, and the last Pontiacs were built in early 2010. But with names like G3, G4, and G6, Pontiac's performance image had long faded from it's earlier glory days. My idea for Pontiac's revival would be to bring it back as a dedicated performance marque similar to Chevy's Super Sport (SS) line up of years past. First, and most obvious would be to bring back the Pontiac Firebird. Offering the entry-level model with the Camaro's 275HP turbo 4 cylinder engine, then having the Camaro SS's 455HP V8, but also offering a halo model Trans Am that is a revamped Camaro ZL-1 along with it's tire-shredding 650HP, supercharged V8 and race tuned suspension. Secondly, I would bring back the GTO. Which I would base on the current Chevy SS, but I would use the full 455-horsepower LS4 V8 (rather than the 415-hp setup that it has now). Furthermore, I would add the impressive 650-hp supercharged V8 to provide real competition to the Charger Hellcat. Importantly, I would make sure that the new GTO had bold, distinctive styling that really set it apart. I understand that purists would want any Pontiac GTO to be a two-door coupe, but I think that they could forgive that if the new GTO was an outstanding American performance car. Next, I would take the Buick Cascada convertible, add much bolder styling, swap in the Camaro's 275-hp turbo engine, and tune up the suspension to provide more performance than luxury (without being harsh). And finally I would round out the line up by using the new 2018 Traverse , but use the new, bold Pontiac design language to spice up the model's looks, tweak the engines for more power, and again provide a performance suspension that matches the model's new sporty looks. Obviously, having a high performance Pontiac model line up would steal away some sales from Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac models. But I think that it would more than make up for this by also stealing away sales from competing brands.
