I recently bought this car to restore. Recent changes have taken this dream away. The reason I purchased this was because of the lack of rust. I looked at quite a few Grand Am vehicles and none came close to this on as far as the condition of the body is concerned.

The inside of the doors & door seams look close to new as does the inside of the rear quarters, front fenders & hood. The quarters and front fenders look very good from the outside also. Very minimal surface rust on right rear quarter behind the wheel well. The trunk floor is rock solid with very little surface rust inside. The front and back bumpers are very solid with minimal surface rust. The trunk lid had some rust at the rear but I had a body shop fix it correctly. The floor is solid except for two small areas of rust from the inside of the front drivers and passengers pans. The underneath of the pans look good except for those two small spots. This car was rust-proofed when new. The rest of the inside of the car is virtually rust free.

The seats have been re-upholstered but it looks like they were dome very inexpensively. I think they just sewed new material onto the existing front. They should be re-done correctly. The door panels look good The headliner is good except in the front where it came off the taping that holds it in place. I think it can be re-taped. Both power windows work. The carpet is like new. As far as I can tell all electrical works fine. The sill plates are missing

I know very little about the engine and driveline. I confirmed that it is matching # engine 400 2BBL. It did start right up cold at 10 degrees when I took it off the trailer. I drove it a couple times and it ran and shifted well. I only went a couple blocks as I do not have it licensed. Both Exhaust manifolds have leaks. The previous owner decided he wanted headers on the car and attempted to take off the passenger side manifold without using heat. He busted three of the bolts before giving up. I can feel the bolt ends so they should come off with heat when the manifold is taken off. There is some surface rust in the engine compartment but not too bad. It is where the original rust-proofing on the wheel wells let go. The air conditioning compressor is gone. Other than that it all looks stock. The nose piece is fiberglass (not the original Rubber) and needs some fiberglass repair in one small spot but good other than that. The front grill are included but not on the car. The Wheels are original and look good, the trim rings are nice and the tires are new. The spare is original and the jack is included.

That is about all I can tell you as I have not had a chance to drive this car much. To address the exhaust manifold leaks, you will probably need to pull the intake and heads. I think this car could go to paint with very little body work needed. The interior, engine compartment and trunk areas would be very easy to make nice too.

$500.00 non refundable deposit to be paid via Paypal within 48 Hours of end of auction. The rest to be cash and the car to be picked up within 14 days after end of auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy it. No guarantees come with this car. It is going on 39 years old and will need some work. Please email or call with questions. I will do my best to answer them. Tom 608-212-9011

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.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward Â— perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
