Non matching motor but an Original WS 1968 400ci out of another 1968 H/O convertible that is in this Goat! As close as you can get! Not for the weak restorer! This is a project but all parts are there! Needs floor work and rear quater work"

Just like this auction reads! Yes this is a True Original 1968 Pontiac Gto Convertible 4 speed Convertible HO that only 761 of these were produced in 1968 from GM. This Goat needs total restoration but some of the work has already been done. This HO does not have its original vin stamped WS 400ci motor but does have another original 1968 Gto Convertible HO WS one in it! The motor has been looked at and was one that came from a Gto that was totalled years ago when spun out and rearended a bridge embuttment! I had found this and all remaining parts to the car and purchased them for another project and this came along back then! Now time have changed for me so here yah go! A true PHS HO 1968 Gto Convertible up for the grabbing! Serious restorers take a look! The car will need to be towed away and right as it sits does not run under its own power because in a stage of restoration. The motor and tranny and rear are put back in but not wired up. I have all the original harness's. The car is a Solar Red Exterior with a black top and black interior from the factory. The cars options were limited with Rally Gages and a tilt steering column which is gone now. The Endura with hideaways have been added on to this Goat through the years! Solid nose with mint doors and nice trunk lide and nice valance panel. This Gto will need floor work and trunk pans. the frame is solid. Like I said this will need total restorations but is a great solid investment! I just watched here on Ebay another sale go for an HO 68 convertible in the same condition but Numbers on the motor not WS but WT and it sold for 18K. My Goat here is for less and getting a better deal for sure! The interior of this convertible is original and all there but will need to be redone also. The last picture of the car together was when i purchased it and drove it into the garage before resto started. I have the open Mass Title in hand with PHS docs and a copy of the original window sticker too.I have other pic's and will take more and post soon. thanks

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.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
