This is a numbers matching, rotisserie restored, 1968 Firebird 400 4 speed. It is PHS documented. All original sheet metal and rust free. The car was media blasted inside and out and epoxy primered before receiving the base coat/clear coat Vernado Green color. Purists cover your ears. I added the stripes to break up the green. I also wanted a rear spoiler, but did not like the Camaro one everybody else uses. The Trans-Am spoiler and color keyed tail light panel sets the car off. The purist will not like the drilled and slotted power assisted 4 wheel disc brake conversion either, but now it stops like it should. I have the originals. I have receipts for all the parts and machine work. A partial list is as follows: New Hurst shifter ( still have the original ), all new wiring, new heater control, new tach, carpet, seat foam and covers, headliner, door panels, Pypes stainless exhaust system, BF Goodrich T/A Radials (245/60/15), stainless brake and fuel lines, stereo with new technology, Be-Cool aluminum radiator, fan clutch, Pertronix ignition conversion, TRW .030" forged pistons, Crane's new version of the 068 Pontiac HO cam, Comp 1.65:1 roller tipped rockers, Edelbrock Torker manifold ( have original), clutch system, water, oil and fuel pumps, rear anti sway bar, new correct rear springs, re-built original Quadrajet carb and aftermarket Ram Air style air filter ( have original). I also have the original steering wheel assembly.
The engine has just over 500 miles on it. The car runs strong, corners hard and stops on a dime. It is always a draw at the shows. Please feel free to call me at 309-645-6106 with any questions. Happy bidding and good luck. Rick.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending 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.
