Up for bids is this 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, not supercharged 3.8 liter engine.The supercharger is the only option this car does not have. I am selling it because I am in a wheelchair and the car is so low that I have a really hard time getting out of the car. I would have fixed the issues if I were to continue driving it, but the accessibility issue is why I don't fix it. I really liked driving the car and it will flat out go if you want it to. The hand controls do not go with the car and the trim under the dash will be restored to the factory configuration. I am pricing this car to sell because it still has a book value of over $5,000 with some models on Autotrader with more miles that are going for nearly $8,000 with all the options this car has. It will need some repair or I would be asking $4,000 or more for it. There is a lean on the car that I will try to have resolved before the end of the auction. Here is the story on the car.
I bought it about three years ago and have put less than 4,000 miles on it.It drives well and doesn't pull to the right or left. This car has some new parts, such as a new battery, two front tires have only around 4,000 miles on them (I did have four new tires, but it was sitting at my mechanic's garage and someone stole the other two wheels and tires which he replaced with two new wheels and used tires), new headlight bulbs and lenses (as these lenses are prone to smoking over and being really dim at night), the rear tires are also in very good shape. The factory features include a working factory sunroof, leather interior in very good shape for its age, heated driver's seat, polished chrome wheels, Bose audio system with AM/FM CD player that works fine, the display works,however, it is very dim. If the sun shines on it, you can see what the clock or digital readout says. It has the HUD or Head's Up Display that is still bright. All the windows go up and down now. When I got the car, only one window worked so I removed some from another car and replaced all the window regulators.
What the car needs: I believe it needs a new alternator as the battery charge goes down even after you drive it and you can hear the bearings squealing as well. The power steering pump is weak, but I have another from another car that will be included. No guarantee that it is any better, but it worked before. The tachometer quit working and when that happened, the car doesn't want to idle smooth so I believe it must be the throttle position sensor or another sensor going off. The clock spring in the steering wheel needs to be replaced. The radio controls on the steering wheel do not work and the Air Bag light are on because of the clock spring being bad. Paint on the hood is faded and cracked and the corners are damaged due to someone opening the hood too far and damaging the hood hinges, which is why the hood hinges are white and not black. I think if you are a mechanic, these sensors, alternator, and miscellaneous parts probably wouldn't amount to much. The clock spring is about $163 so do what you want there.
For the engine and transmission, both run and perform as they should, or did before the engine sensors mentioned above started acting up. After the engine gets past the idle issue, it runs just fine. If you would like to see the car running, I have taken some video that I can e-mail you if interested. The engine and transmission are not original to the car.They are from a 2001 Grand Prix GT. The reason they were changed is that the previous owner had a small engine fire that damaged the wire harnesses and some of the plastic stuff on the engine. I had planned on reusing the factory engine but it turned out it had a bad rod bearing and the transmission had the overdrive out.Taking no chances, I decided to buy a donor car for the engine, transmission, and all wire harnesses that were damaged. The insulation under the hood protected it from the fire, but could use repainting as the clear coat had too much hardener in it and caused it to crack. The paint on the rest of the car needs a good buff/wax and I think it would be fine, with the exception of the header panel. The header has the clear coat as a little tired. The engine and transmission have 10,000 fewer miles on it than the odometer shows. The sensors that have gone bad on the car have just occurred in the last 200 miles or so. Prior to that, the car ran great. It still does, but only after you get passed the low idle speed.
I have the parts car that can be purchased if you want it too. It still has most of the interior, airbags, all the glass is good, cat back exhaust, all of the trim, and most of the body. What isn't there is the engine and transmission, the header panel, hood, rear deck and bumper (damaged from an accident). If you want the parts car, it is $350. I also have some 40th anniversary badges and the 40th anniversary chrome tailpipe extenders for $60 if interested in those.
I am selling this car at a reasonably low price due to the problems it has. I would easily ask $3,500 to $4,000 if it were fixed. As it sets, $2,250 is a good price for the car. $500 deposit due at end of auction. Remainder due in five days in cash. NO CHECKS! If you need this car shipped, I will work with a shipper of your choice after all payments are made and clear.

There's a 'Knight Rider' movie in development
Mon, Aug 17 2020James Wan, who has directed films from the first "Saw" to "Aquaman," with "Furious 7" in between, and produced even more projects, is producing a new Knight Rider movie according to a report in Deadline. Just in case there's a reader who doesn't know, Knight Rider was one of the seminal trio of iconic-car shows from the 1980s, along with "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "Miami Vice." The series lasted 90 episodes that ran from 1982 to 1986, following the crime-fighting exploits of Michael Knight, a man who crusaded for justice after being shot in the face. Billionaire Walton Knight hired Michael to work with the Knight Foundation, where Michael helps develop the Knight Industries Two Thousand, a Pontiac Trans-Am with AI that can talk, drive more than 200 miles per hour, and could teach MI6's Q Branch about gadgetry. Collider described David Hasselhof's Michael Knight as "crimefighter by trade and wearing-a-leather-jacket-with-no-shirt-underneath innovator by hobby." The show made such an impression that there was a series spinoff called "Code of Justice," two TV movies in 1991 and 1994, a convention called KnightCon, and a series reboot on NBC that lasted for one season from 2008 to 2009, as well as stores full of action figures and models and literature, YouTube fan-made trailers and movies, and this wacky German-dubbed short "Knight Rider" film starring Hasselhoff. We don't know anything about the new movie's plot yet, other than that it's set in the present. T.J. Fixman, better known for now as a video game writer who worked on franchises like "Ratchet and Clank" and "Resistance: Fall of Man," has been attached to write, with a mandate to keep "the anti-establishment tone of the original." With matters still early in development there's no telling when the movie will hit theaters, and Wan's probably got his hands busy with the new MacGuyver reboot for CBS, anyway. Now that there's already been a Knight Industries 2000 and 3000, that gives us plenty of time to imagine — in a world where 200-mph hypercars powered by everything sprout like weeds and even Cannonballers are using military-like equipment — what would a Knight Industries Four Thousand possess? And would it be called KIFT? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
Sat, Mar 4 2023A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
