1984 Pontiac Trans Am. Bought new at Blount Pontiac in Gainesville, Florida by a man in his early 30's. I have the ORIGINAL title showing where he bought the car on March 2nd 1984. 5.0 liter (305 cubic inch) V8 engine with the 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission, four wheel disc brakes. What is cool about this particular car, is the fact that it is a top of the line Trans Am, but it has very few options.. It has manual windows, locks, seats, mirrors, no rear window defogger etc. The radio is AM/FM only, not even a cassette player. The original spare tire and jack are still stored in their original location. 
Since I have owned it, I bought four new Mastercraft MC-440 215/65R15 tires ($300), only had three mounted, one is in my shed. Car has had the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor, air filter, fuel filter, and wiper blades replaced. I drove it from my home in Darien, Georgia to Brunswick and back three times before the engine started smoking and I believe I hear a bottom end knock (SEE VIDEOS). I need a car that will get me back forth
I have always loved the looks of these cars, ever since I was a young boy. My Sisters boyfriend had one brand new and I got to ride in it, and it was a very memorable experience for me. And there was always KITT from the TV series Knight Rider... 
Here are a few cool things about the '84 T/A:
*It is one of the most aerodynamic Trans Am's ever built. The 1983 Daytona 500 Edition (Same body with same ground effects) had a coefficient of drag of only .029!! The only notable difference between that car, and this one are the "bowling ball" hubcaps on the wheels. This car is more aerodynamic than the newer (1993 and up) cars that despite having a more aggressively raked windshield, also had a ton more frontal area. 
*This particular car, with its short list of options weighs only 3262 lbs, according to the information on the title. 
*1984 was the last year for the Finned Type taillights. They were only used from 1982-1984, and the Trans Am models were dark tinted. 
*Car has functional cold air intake system. Under full throttle, a solenoid opens a flap at the rear of the hoods cowl to allow cooler air to get to the intake.
*No t-tops = less squeaks, rattles, and wet bumpkis first thing in the morning. 
*Instrument panel backlighting is red, just like the 1983 Daytona 500 Trans Am was, and later became a Pontiac trademark. 

I have removed the air conditioning compressor, condenser, hoses, and the smog pump. I kept those pieces should the next owner decide to use them. My dream was to build a light, nimble car that could get 25 mpg +, handle like a Porsche, and run like a Cheetah on cocaine, but it is just not the right time for that to happen. (Hawks Third Gen makes LS engine conversion parts, and also have everything necessary to convert it to a 6-speed, just sayin'). 
All lights work (dome light bulb is MIA, on the list of things to get before the engine started smoking). Steering was tight and smooth. Car could use shocks and struts, as well as hood and hatch struts. There are only 150 miles on the three tires I have put on the car!

 I also have a three piece rear window louver set that goes with it. The center section is damaged, but may be repairable, either way it is yours with the car. 

This car is in REMARKABLY good condition to be an unrestored 30 year old car!! You can't find these in very good shape anymore. They don't have complicated computers running abs systems, or engine controls, and is very easy to work on and get parts for. 



Car is located in the beautiful Coastal Georgia town of Darien (about one hour south of Savannah). Make a weekend get-away out of it, and spend some time at the beach while enjoying some fresh Georgia Shrimp and your favorite beverage!

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending 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.
